I am here in Puerto Plata and my family sent 2 boxes full of food, clothes, books, household stuff etc...they cost $140 per box to ship plus $6 for the actual box. The box is 24x24x24. He dropped the boxes off at my families house in Ottawa, picked them up at a later date and delivered it to me here in Puerto Plata. They had to itemize evrything in the box but NO PROBLEM AT ALL!!!!

I spoke with him and I will be sending 3 drums here in the next shipment Nov 15th at $160 each. The thing I like is that the price for me and the price for my Dominican friend in Toronto was EXACTLY the same...None of this one price for you another for the gringo. My friend in Toronto is going to be sending a number of fridges here with him to Santo Domingo and he quoted him the final price out of customs. He offers insurance too!!! So things in Toronto and Ottawa for gringos and dominicans were the same...we tested him! Believe me my Dominican friend tried to work a better deal but he was really honest saying he would grant a deal if quantities were higher but one or two boxes was the same for everyone! He seems like a really good guy! He speaks english and Spanish fluently so no translation problems!!!

Electronics are kinda expensive but he will give you a definite price on the items you want to send. TV´s up to 24¨ are not so bad but when you want to send 42¨flat screens they get pricey. Can´t remember exactly the price he quoted me...His prices were OK compared to anything else I´ve found... He will bring in commercial goods for you too. He´ll give you the breakdown on each items duty and I know he´s working with a few guys who have big business´here bringing their goods. So it must work for them! I got quotes on a few things I wanted to bring to sell... Not BAD! I expected worse...

I asked him about the Alexander guy and he said he is no longer shipping from Canada. He said their is another guy in GTA area doing it but he has a bad rep for mysteriously losing stuff and shipments always get postponed!

He has guys in Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Santo Domingo, and Puerto Plata. Call him and see what you all think...It worked for me last time without any problem, I wasn´t missing anything in boxes.. and I didn´t have to pay anything EXTRA!!!

Let me know if anyone has any problems but so far so good!!!
Just a thought since Christmas is getting close and you all might need a little bit of home for the holidays!!!
