After a bit of research I read several posts telling people to not shipping TV's to the DR or Punta Cana to be more accurate in this case. They would suggest that you are better off buying it in the DR to avoid taxes, customs, and shipping fees.
We are in the market for around a 40 inch smart tv. My price shopping in the DR found that we would be looking at around $24000 RD for a 40 inch TV that is probably not smart and may not even be a brand name.
As an Amazon prime member I can buy a good 40inch Vizio (VIZIO E40-C2 40-Inch 1080p Smart LED HDTV) for $360 USD and have it shipped to Miami for Free.
It has a 20 pound shipping weight. Is it still a better idea to buy something locally or is it worth to send this though a re-shipper (something that I have no experience with)?
Can someone who regularly uses this shipping services weigh in with their thoughts?
Ultimately there is about a $200 wiggle room for fees and taxes for it to make more sense to buy it from Amazon? Right or am I missing something?
