I use EPS but it depends where you live as to what offices are close to you. BM cargo works here too but have never used them. I have used EPS for 6 years, every 2 weeks in the last year as I order quite a bit from Amazon due to a house build! It’s about 280 pesos a pound so you need to think about heavy purchases and whether it’s worth the cost. Arrives in about 4 days from when the parcel arrives in Miami. Need to keep price under $200 including postage to not pay taxes… recently bought a rumba style robot and paid quite a bit in postage but still cheaper than buying here..

Mudanzas: Post Your Shipper
Domex I using a lot of but they don't offer ferry (or offering but you have to have really heavy itiems) BMCargo I tested once and better experiance have with Domex. Was looking for some mundanzas, maybe cheaper but will check this EPS. Did they offer also ferry or only planes? Localisation isn't problem I am traveling for whole country so month after month I am in other city/region 
I have used BMCargo for a decade, no negative feedback even with stuff that the customs kindly tried to hold as a hostage, BM resolved that. I have also used Domex for about a year, even less negative feedback for them. Cannot comment on the others as have not really used them. The couriers have usually offices throughout the country, so regardless if you use a courier for lighter packages or a mudanza, they will bring the stuff near you, not the opposite.Domex I using a lot of but they don't offer ferry (or offering but you have to have really heavy itiems) BMCargo I tested once and better experiance have with Domex.

For anything heavier, you can also request a quote, even by sending them a link of what you will ship. Then you can check the same with a mudanza. I once quoted something slightly heavier with BMCargo, they offered no surprises, so the charge was exactly what I had already calculated based on the info on their website, so I went with mudanza...
For things like this, this is exactly where you need to analyze whether you should use courier or a mudanza. I have, for example, never ordered anything heavier than 10 lbs with a courier, as it does not make sense... Anything heavier has come with Awilda Shipping...
For any occasion, where I'm thinking the weight can be an issue (not the product weight, but shipping weight including packaging etc.), I have contacted the seller via Ebay and asked them to provide the exact shipping weight, which sometimes is even printed by the factory on the carton itself. The product weight can be something else and the price difference can be quite a bit for what the couriers charge per LBS.
I am planning on returning to the US. I have been here 7 years and accumulated a lot.
Mostly Tools, some that are specialty, that I brought in or bought online and had expensively shipped in.
Of course my dogs are my priority and the most expensive items to get back.
Who could move (economically) about 300 lbs of gear back to the US ?
But not my golf clubs - I could use a new set, I'll sell those

You haven't seen "accumulated a lot" until you see my house. I give stuff away like crazy and it still doesn't get to be any less.
Nah, that's not true. I've made a big dent but still a long way to go.
Downsizing. Getting ready for when the day comes. I even did my will on freewill.com. If you don't have a will, give them a try.
Once I get rid of all my "stuff", taking the next step is easy.
It is funny how when your "younger" you collect a lot of things, but as you get older, less is better. I find myself doing the same thing, downsizing.
The really hard thing is throwing good "stuff" away.
Like 24 used battery caps. A cut hose. Empty gallon bottles. Extra chargers. One ATT wireless phone. Routers from past phone contracts.
Jars and jars of washers, nuts, screws, nails, curtain hooks. Anything you can imagine.
At least I have about 30% in bins.
I got that from my parents

It's a sickness but don't worry, my mom is exactly the same! There is help
I like to build and fix stuff, if it can’t be fixed I take out all the screws, wires or whatever looks useful. I call it recycling and often it does get reused. I can’t live without my workshop. It’s also a limited territory, if it doesn’t fit stuff has to go. Already shipped several tools and supplies to SC because I know I will need it there.
My dad was organized, my mom is a collector, I am a organized collector.
As you get older you realize that the future doesn't require 'shades'.
