Hope this helps

Not in jersey but..................

Augustin Cargo Express in Manhattan
212-942-1064

In the Bronx
718-401-8241

you could also try el Malecon shipping but the first one "Augustin" also has Air cargo so that if you ever wanted to send smaller packages it would get there in about 3-4 days.

The question is--does CUSTOMS look at the contents? Are the parcels examined in any way? Scanned for ......?
Just because a parcel leaves from your front door does not mean you have cleared customs free of duties.

I saw a advertisement on TV for Montero shipping where if you ship 2 boxes not only do they charge you $125. but they add 2, I think its 2 or 3 gallons of Corn Oil and 50lbs of rice for free. I live in Rhode Island, but I would be that goes for all cities. The boxes must only contain Food Items.

From DC

Didn't get the oil and rice using Montero shipping from DC. Was told that was NY area only. Paid $375 for 4 18"x18"x28" Dish Pac boxes. Some special was going on at the time I shipped last month. Most items were food but did have a King Size comforter, pillows and pad in one and some pots and pans mixed in. Nothing was opened and I will use them if the need arises again.

the box arrived a couple days ago, so it took over a month to get here...month and a week approximately....nothing was missing, there was no custom charges, the top of the box was wrapped in ceranwrap (sp?) and they delivered it to our door. again the company is la primevera and its located in the bronx.
