I have 192 copies of a children's Christmas book, (in English) that I wrote and illustrated. Each copy has some slight imperfections in one or two of the colour illustrations that make them not suitable for sale. I would like to send them to an English speaking/reading school in my newly adopted (albeit distant) home, Dominican Republic.
The Problem:
I can not afford to ship the books, and I don't know how best to ensure they will in fact arrive.
There are six boxes, each containing 32 copies. Each box weighs 18 kg (40 lbs), for a total of 108 kg (240 lbs). The problem is the cost to ship, and how to ship 108 kg of books to DR?
Does anyone out there have an "in" with an airline or trucking/shipping company that can take these books "sin costo" to a school in DR?
The appropriate age group for this book (in Canada) is 5years to 12years.
Any suggestions??
Thanks!:beard:
