Just sent something from Amazon down to Higüey through Foxpack. Ordered on Saturday, arrived in Miami on Monday and received in Higüey Thursday. You send the invoice as a PDF to deal with customs. $3/pound.

The receiver sets up a local account then you ship to their # in Miami. They just pay for shipping C.O.D..

Great first time experience and will be using again!

Are there any other couriers at $3 a pound all in for small packages? FoxPack is not available yet in Sosua/Cabarete

Interesting, is $3 a pound all you pay, everything included?

Here is a breakdown of what I paid here at EPS Cabarete for a shipment from Miami today, about 58% more. Still, I am very satisfied with EPS and for small packages (~0.5lbs) I pay 160 DOP

Package weight 8.3 lbs, total cost 2047.81 DOP

Código Descripción Monto
016 SERVICIO DGA $70.1
313 FLETE BROKER $210.36
032 CARGO COMBUSTIBLE $249.80

311 AIRPORT TAX $26.29
010 PESO $1,078.07

I just picked up a very small package from EPS. Less than 1lb. Cost 113 rd. And with EPS I have never been asked to Email a receipt. But all my packages are less than $200 US. And when delivered in Miami it reaches the DR the next day, and your office the day after.

You set the account up here. But everything goes to their office in Miami and and then shipped by plane to SD. And then to your office in the city that you are in here.

do they ship back to USA for free if you have to return an item? If so, this rate is a bargain!

I'm not sure what it is --
until you started the thread , I hadn't paid much attention

They are in MIA & Rep Dom... and easy to deal with -
have shopping directly on Amazon etc if you want.

Been Free Shipping for a few days recently .....

Since it's the only one in Cabrera - I use them
