Ok you Brits

Who's shipped a container from the UK to the DR ?

Was it a good deal ?

Do you have any recommendations, names, numbers, websites ?

How much did you pay ?

Any and all info gratefully received.

Cheers

Paul

No one has done it before then?

Am I to assume that no one has done it before then?

I would also be grateful for any tips about shipping from the UK to Puerto Plata, though I will only be sending about six to twelve tea-chests worth.

Paul - Check your PM's for the company I used. It was a long time ago and not sure if it is still the case...but I had to ship via Miami to get to Puerto Plata. US customs insisted on opening everything although it was still in the bonded area and the end destination not the US.

They packed it in to crates at my site, held it in storage until I was ready for them to ship and then packed everything in to a 20ft container. No comlaints about the price or service.

Thanks LH got the PM

Only managed to get one quote so far - ?4,000 to ?4,500 for a 20 foot container, sounds a bit steep to me.

Be cheaper to buy a boat and haul it myself.

My 40ft container from Romania to Las Terrenas cost US$8000. Took about 2 months. Have a word with Jos? M. L?pez

this would appear to be about half the price I was charged.

I was only looking at a 20 foot container - got a better quote now @ approx

?1400 that's US$2,800 - doesn't sound too bad.
