Anybody moved Houshold goods from the DR back to the USA

[donluis99]

Well prices are about 35% or less than original cost.

Have you ever been to a real auction here in the DR, people will pay well well over 50 - 60% of retail.

As far as containers Santo Domingo to Miami there's MSC, China Shipping, Crowley as well as others & we are going to Houston and
that'd be Crowley for us.

I can do the shipping myself, not sure about wanting the hassle, so give a shot at selling.............

came here with nothing but a suitcase.....................

g'luck

Kind of expensive to be honest...

How does that work here, do you contact the shipping companies directly or a freight forwarder?

 

[donluis99]

Depends on your ability's and knowledge....

You can book the container directly with a local agent of one of the lines, (B&R handles several different lines) do the paper work or hire someone to do the paperwork both ends, here
and destination or hire a freight forwarder, but most freight forwarders here in the DR
do not handle residential or personal goods, in such case you would need a mudanza company, which is just a forwarder that charges more for personal goods!!!
