Robert,
Thanks for this information. Puerto Plata is fine. If they can meet our needs, I would be very pleased to give them our business.
Do you happen to know if anyone there speaks English or do they have a website where I could see what they offer?
What do you know about them which causes you to believe they sell first quality merchandise?
Pick up the phone and call them.
They are the largest wholesaler in the DR, they move a few million US$ per month.
I know the owner, have brought a bunch of stuff from them, they have great pricing and never heard a bad word against them.
Contact the seller and ask if he is willing to ship it via Caribe tours. I've done biz this way here. I bought a used Mackie M-1400i amp for RD$ 10,000 from a seller in Santiago, I'm in SD. The seller gave me his Popular bank account number and I deposited RD$10,200 (or 10,250 I don't recall) to the seller's account. The next day he called me up to give me a Caribe Tours ref # of the package he sent. He told me to pick it up after 2pm. I went to 27 Febrero & Leopordo Navaro at around 3pm and pick up my Mackie Amp. It was in great condition and had never been repaired as the seller stated. I admit I took a chance and was lucky it paid off for me. I confess that I wasn't 100% confident on the deal or the seller. Basically, I looked at the whole thing as a gamble sometimes you lose other times you win. Thank goodness all worked out well for me. You are welcome to try buying items that way from emarket.com.do or la pulga.com.do but your mileage might vary.

Tiger Direct don't ship to mail forwarding addresses, they called me up and said my address is mail forwarding address we're not shipping. I bought my stuff somewhere else. No big deal.
Hard drive with packaging would most likely be around 2 pounds. And gee...is still anybody using EPS with their 200-per-pound pricing? Man, there ARE cheaper and equally reliable options. I dropped EPS three years ago.
Not same products. The DR auctioner is selling MyPassport, as per image, which is USB powerd.
I did have a MyPassport failure (500 GB) after a year and 2 months (7% of sectors with permanent delay, thus unusable). Have not dropped the drive or anything.
