My family is looking into renting one of thoes crates to send me my stuff down to the DR. Just one of thoes small ones, with clothes that won't fit in my baggae allowence, my small TV...and a few other little things. It costs around $80-100 cdn for the medium sized one.
When Electronic things are being sent down, (like my little TV) will the DR charge extra for it? It is not as if I will sell it, it is for personal use...
We got the idea from a lady my mom is friends with she sends her family in the Barbados things every few months in these little crates that cost only about $50....but when we checked with the same company they would charge us $500 for the same thing, because when sending to the DR they said it makes a stop in Florida, so has to go through US customs as well...
This other company from Toronto is owned by a Domincan and is much cheaper. I will pass on company name and contact info to anyone who is intrested...
However they do not ship very often..only once every few monmths. The next shipmet is in August.
But back to my question...do I have to pay extra (or will my family) have to pay extra for any electronics I recieve?
Thanks all
