If anyone members have recommendations please provide contact info. i’d be extremely appreciative 🙏. Taking Nov Dr trip & based on google research /reviews within nearby transport businesses seems highly risky. Any contact feedback would be appreciated.

The family uses Luciano Shipping. They drop off the boxes, they are filled, we call and they pick them up. Usually, 2-3 weeks later it is delivered. I think it's $75 a box. If something does not fit in the boxes they leave it on the outside and charge accordingly. My sister-in-law fill 12-15 boxes every fall for donations she does around xmas time. When for personal use, usually 1-3 boxes.
Gave them a call on Saturday. Quoted me $75 for 29x18 per box with used cloth and small misc items. $200 same box for new cloth. Going to pick up few boxes today ..thx for the recommendation
Volume wasn’t mentioned when I asked was just specified box size restriction. Seems like a cost difference between sending new clothing/other misc items vs used? I’ll find out later on today in person. An employee over the phone provided that info. Guessing it’s a matter of DR restricting resale of new clothing & other misc with mfg tags which would make sense?
If you say anything is NEW the price changes. Take off tags, take things out of boxes, etc. That $75 is pretty common, some are less, and many will offer you 3 of those boxes for $200. Ask.
We prefer to ship in the 55 gallon plastic drums. They’re pricy to buy, but many car washes give them away. The empty drums are very popular and useful in DR. They hold a lot more, of course, and cost more to ship, usually about $115-125.
Try Estrella Cargo Express in Paterson. I used them many times with no problems.
My sister-in-law will pack the box so tight she needs to get another piece of cardboard to cover the opening on the top before we tape it up. Probably gets another 6 inches.
