Shipping Canada to the DR

I used Amigo shipping from Toronto.  I shipped a 3 bedroom house and lots of extras.  I will send you a PM with the information.

Can you post it here please for others in the future? Thanks!

Thanks DCM,

Contact number in Canada is not working and website number not working.  But thanks for your help.

We used Peralta  for our whole household. I would recommend them. Although sometimes it was difficult to connect until I received a personal phone number.

Thanks have made contact waiting for a call back.

Spoke with Maximo he only ships 2 x 2 x2 boxes.

I am shipping two barrels through HADENA SHIPPING - they have offices in Montreal and Toronto plus a contact office/number in Calgary. Our blue barrels cost $300 each to ship. THier contact numbers are: 403-616-2102; 514-662-9592 and 587-225-7374. They ship exclusive to the DR apparently. Our barrels are being picked up mid June and taken to Montreal for shipping and are expected to be delivered (door to door) in the DR by late Jul or perhaps first week of Aug. ( Plastic blue barrels are best but my supply of those dried up and I have one metal barrel)

But Bob & Donna say Maximo told them only 2x2x2 boxes

Not adding up here......

Thanks 2VPsoldier,  the items we have will not fit in a barrel.

a further explanation from Maximo.  He will not ship anything a man can't lift.  Our crate will weigh 600lbs.

Aha !
understood now

Bob and Donna
I will follow up with Amigo shipping.  They fill containers so they ship everything.  Even a boat or car etc.

I will confirm for you...

Toronto and DR based.  Amigo Shipping.

With COVID, the owner Mario is in the DR and his phone has been disconnected but he has people in Canada that still take care of business.  Usually he travels back and forth but Canada has made that impossible for the time being.  If you contact him through whatsapp he will respond, I just spoke with him.  If you don't use whatsapp, install the app on your cell phone and create a contact on your cell phone with this phone number (416) 834-5895 and open whatsapp and then you can call, message or whatever you need to do.

Whatsapp is the app of communication choice in the DR.

Cheers,

Thanks to all!  Mario has provided us with a solution at a reasonable rate.

Excellent.  Glad to help.

HADENA SHIPPING - for those that might be interested, the woman my sister-in-law speaks with here in Alberta tells her she can ship anything, not just barrels. An interesting  part of this is the lady comes from Moca. Once she gets her consignments on the ship, she waits until she is notified that the ship is about to reach port and she then flies to DR, accepts the shipment and personally opens each container, barrel etc for the Customs - to ensure no pilfering etc, and then loads on their trailer/truck and delivers to the DR address. Removes many questions about safety/security when getting to & through Customs.....to a great service!!

Does anyone know if the British pub us still open in Sousa called Britania

Changing a thread to a totally unrelated subject or question is called hijacking a thread. 

Please open a new thread to ask your question.  Thanks

And no worry, we are all learning

hi dear.tks for info.do you have the company name please?whats their website and i leave i Quebec.do my familly have to pay when they pick up DR?tks to reply

@DominicanadaMike thanks! I replied to your DM before I read this so you can ignore my question on price. With the increase in price on everything these days that's probably about $10K now

A lot of interesting info here in this thread. Thank you to all for contributing. We are in the process of building a villa in Sosua. It's close to completion with few items left to do but we're not crazy about some of the fixture selection offered to us. I presume we could possibly ship faucets and some electrical fixtures through one of the shipping firms mentioned in this thread. We won't be living in the DR full time so as Planner mentioned, Residencia Exemption won't apply to us. Does it still make sense to ship for non-residents from a cost perspective? Are plumbing fixtures the same as in Canada, in other words, would a faucet purchased in Toronto work in the DR?

Thanks, Walter
