Furniture and household goods stores??????

IKEA is in the DR and for a certain value of purchase ships for free to Sosua etc. Linares in Cabarete has a good selection and discounts 10% for cash purchases. Poppaterra has furniture and appliances. I think they also discount for cash. There is a furniture store on the highway near sosua, close to David's tire shop, that sells wicker. Can't remember the name but has a large yellow chair hanging on the fence by their entrance. Hope this helps.

That is very helpful.  Thank you.  Is Poppaterras in Sosua?  What's the best way for us to travel to Ikea?

IKEA is in Santo Domingo. Thought might be to catalogue shop and order on line. You can drive from Sosua to Santo Domingo. Yes poppaterra is in Sosua. Hope that helps.

Ikea is online, you can order and have it shipped to you.  You are best to go to Santiago where you  will have a lot of options.  Many places will deliver for you if you buy enough.  Try to buy all your appliances (for example) in one place and negotiate prices. The more you buy the better the prices. 

Corripio,  Plaza Lama, are both in Santiago and will arrange delivery.  Pricesmart is in Santiago as well and will NOT deliver,  but you can arrange a truck  if you needed. 

It partly depends what you are looking to buy, what style you want etc.   If you want local style furniture they are all over the place.  L & R is now in Puerto Plata, they will deliver and they are very negotiable.  It is very much Dominican style furniture and appliances. And the more you buy the better the price.

Ebay purchases - under US 200 including deliver or you pay tax of 18% and duty!   And then you will pay  about 4 or 5 US dollars per pound to get it from a Miami location to Sosua!    So you want to be very very careful what you buy online.

Corripio is also in Puerto Plata.  We have bought lots of appliances from them (quality and US standards).
All the above mentioned are good as well
Also look at the furniture store of Heidelesa (sp) on the main road in Puerto Plata.  Lots of selection there (some actually good quality) and they deliver and will negotiate a bit.  We have also bought stuff from them.

There is also a store in Sosua Abajo call discount sousa.  Good selection of traditional furniture and mattresses.  We have used them as well.

I would hope your real estate agent could give you some information as well.

Where are you building?

Send me a PM if you want.  I have been living between Sosua and Cabarete for 10 years now and we also built a villa here.

I forgot about Hidelisa.  They can be awesome as well...

Yes, Pappaterra has 5% discount for card purchases, 10% cash

Funny I bought a battery (for my lawn tractor) there and they would not give me a discount for cash or CC.

There's a furniture store east of Cabarete called Inoa & Reyes...we plan to get tables and night stands, etc there...they had a nice selection (even some appliances) and prices weren't bad...again pay cash!

@Bob K Hi Bob, I am Jerry. I am American and my wife is Dominican. We live near Orlando FL. We have built a house I Cabrera and need to furnish it. Initially it will be rented so we don't want expensive furniture. Can you recommend a reasonable place to purchase furniture?

Thanks

Inoa y Reyes in Sabaneta (Yasica) has just about everything for furniture.  It's about 45 miles from you due west on Highway 5.  As far as I can tell, they have as much as any similar store in Santiago and possibly SD.

@jerry honey this thread is from 2016.

You will get better response if you open a new thread. Bob is no longer active on here.

System sent me that note and I didn't even look at the date.

I Absolutely understand.  No worry, the last two comments will be edited and get their own thread!
