Shipping to the US
For large heavy boxes, I'd investigate using an airline first.
Less handling means less potential for damage. Probably cheaper than a courier but may not be as convenient. Using a company that can avoid intermediate customs inspections is advisable - ie direct from the DR to whatever country you ultimately wish to boxes to arrive in.

And how have the airports been? I have had bags pilfered and went through almost everytime I have flown out of POP.
Never had an issue and Ive flow out of POP several times a year for the past 12 years. For over five years now, if the DR TSA needs to open your bags, you need to be present. Youur airline will call your name and accompany you.
It may have been 5 years now that the ring of baggage handlers were caught stealing at POP airport. Not doing it at all any more?
I wasn’t aware. And that may well be the reason why you have to be present when secuirty open your suitcases now.
