At some point we’ll need a moving company and o move us back to NY from las terrenas.  Anyone had any experiences that weren’t horror stories?

I know one shipper who mainly ships to Miami and it goes weekly.

Justin - are you talking boxes or container?

Jwoddis, pro-tip....sell or abandon everything.

We dont normally hear about people leaving DR.  Usually just coming, not going.  Just wondering, why are you leaving?  No need to say if you dont want to discuss it.

It was always a temporary move during covid

In my years I've known and heard of many giving up on the dr.   In most cases it was the wives who couldnt handle it.

Boxes - maybe 20

Why sell or abandon?

We’re not moving furniture.  Just clothes, books, kitchen items. We’ve been living in our Airbnb and all the furnishings stay.

As for the comments about “giving up on DR” , not giving up and I don’t know what place judgement has in a factual question. 

I invested in the DR in 2005 and an still invested.  I chose to live in my investment property throughout COVID and now I’m getting ready to go home.  if you don’t have a mover, why are you commenting?

Hi all - did anyone have any company to recommend for shipping the boxes? Have a similar situation where i need to go back for a short stay and need some personal items with us back. The companies mainly ship to DR, not from, and UPS/DHL etc rates are high.
Any referal to the shipping company would be highly appreciated!

Maybe check with the airlines to see if they can send in cargo?
