I never got to that point, although I can't imagine Amazon caring about a cedula or not. Friends have gotten deliveries to their door from Amazon and are not residents, but I haven't asked them about shipping fees.

I looked at a few products to deliver to my door from Amazon. Shipping was $40 for a $44 item. It was $88 shipping if I ordered 2 of them. Conversely, free shipping to Miami and $6 shipping to Domex or EncargoPaq. Plus, a month or so direct from Amazon vs 4 days to Miami and then here. It...

Still 30 calendar days from expiration.

This was in the context of Wise USD to a local peso account.

The exchange rate is whatever your local bank offers. Plus whatever fee they charge to accept a wire, usually $12-15. But still way cheaper than Xoom and their god-awful rates and fees.

You CAN transfer USD to a peso account. I have done it many times, without issue. The local bank converts USD to pesos and deposits into the peso account.

I'm not American, and no intermediary bank needed after DR changed their process a year or so ago. Still uses SWIFT, but no extra charges or intermediary. It is very straight forward now, and both Santa Cruz and Popular credit my account almost immediately. Minus their fee, of course. I don't...

I send dollars to my dollar bank account here, and dollars to my peso account here. The bank makes the exchange from dollars to pesos. And since the DR changed something in banking about a year ago, the money is here almost instantly if you send it during local banking hours. I haven't tried...

When I did mine in November, it was BanReservas, as was the year before. There is a link on the Migración application page, but I had to send a few messages to get the quote and payment info. Not as simple as clicking and paying, but nothing with Migración is. It also would not let me pay for...

When mine expired for my business account, I had to set up a free personal account just to generate digital tokens via the app. I like that better than a physical token, because it can be done from my phone or tablet.

Is it a physical token, or one generated by your app? I discovered the hard way that the physical ones expire. The date is stamped on the back.

Raising the road would just move the problem to the next low-lying area, and you'd have the same problem in a different spot. Several culverts would move the water quickly and allow it to continue to drain while not covering the road.

The easier and cheaper solution is to put drainage under the road. A few culverts would go a long way to ensure safety.
