Moving to the Dominican Republic: All things shipping! ‎@Welcome to my World with Nat

So grateful to Darryl and Jen for documenting the arrival of their barrels! They share tips to packing as we learn, customs may open the barrels and dump them to check the content. Pack smart!
When considering shipping, think about what you want to pack for that leg of your journey, what you may want to ship in barrels and finally, if you will need a container.
Are you considering a relocation? Book a call with me to see where you are in the process and we can determine if we are a good fit to make your dream a reality!

Hi Nat!!

[@kimwilkinson795]

Hi Nat! I've recently found your channel and it has been fun and helpful. We bought a condo, sight unseen 😳. It will be completed in 11/2023. I'm confused on what a "barrel" is. We're from the US, Western New York area. Do you know if there are different options for US citizens for shipping, etc. I have so many questions. We plan to be in Cabarete this October for a month.

Hi Kim! Thanks for tuning in! Sight unseen?! Wowza! In what parts? Barrels are generally 55 gallon. You fill them up and have them shipped to the DR. I have a call tonight to discuss all the things and answer your questions. LMK if you would like the link to join.

How many barrels did they ship? What was the total shipping cost?

Hi If you use the service of Dominican Cargo Express, please give a tip to the guys delivering the goods. They will appreciate it.

Yes!!! Good point. I will make sure to add this to the description

I am surprised they let you bring dogfood! That’s good to know! Does it contain meat?

[@relocationwithnat]

Hmm....good questions! I will investigate!
