We recently shipped some personal effects to our daughter who is living in DR. After many phone calls searching for someone doing this to DR, we were able to contact Alexander Santos in Toronto. Alexander is a consolidator (collects individual shipments together until there is enough for a container) We shipped one barrel with his company - La Hispanola shipping in September. The cost was fairly reasonable and his group took care of the shipment entirely - picking up the barrel at our home, paperwork both here in Canada as well as in Puerto Plata and then final delivery to the door in Puerto Plata.
Today we had to send some more of my daughter's teacher's text books and teaching aids (she teaches Grade 1 ) and Alexander sent that part of it at no charge. As we only had a small shipment and not enough for a complete barrel, he agreed to ship it along with some other smaller shipments he charged a very minor amount for the other two boxes. Just thought I'd share a good experience. If anyone would like to contact him about shipments, please send me a private message and I'll give his phone number in Toronto.
