- We are moving to Ecuador. Join us on our Expat life in Ecuador. We love nature photography and this channel will focus not just on our new lives in Ecuador but also on us capturing this amazingly diverse country. Are you thinking of maybe moving abroad? Are you ready to move out of your comfort zone? Well maybe its time to "Live the Life you Love"
Great informative video! We bought those under cabinet lights and we LOVE them! They're great for grabbing a midnight snack in the kitchen😊
That's great 👍. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the update. This is great news!
Thanks 👍
My 7 items were divided into 3 shipments. I ordered on Sept 21 and what an adventure! I got the last package on 10/7. Now I am ordering some things I need that are too expensive for me in Ecuador. There are some things (like a solar generator) that is cheaper when muled in. A small Bluetti is $400-500 here and I can mule it in for a total of $220.
Nice. Enjoy
Mike - have you considered Ecoflow Delta portable power bank for power outages? You might find it handy.
Wow you must be reading my mind. Yes. I think it is a great investment in the future for any issues. I considered gas generator but the noise and the maintenance and always needing gas is the downside. So I ordered an Ecoflow Delta 2 Max from a store in Guayaquil. Just need to wait. Lol.
Very helpful info. Thanks. Note: Amazon is sneaky,,, though. I buy 24# (big) dog food bag , $55. local, she brings in pallet load. I order once in awhile from Amazon and one bag, same is $67. So they jack up prices in their 'free shipping scheme' .......fyi.... Its exciting to see your box of goodies. Thanks. A great party to you!!! Keep studying that spanish. (am to specific pharases for party :-) ) Had frost this am! (northernMI) Take care. Hi to Kris. walking the beach is great.
Yes you always need to check prices and compare. Some deals are not deals. Lol
Did someone say party? 😊
Oh ya 😂
Mike thank you for the update, I actually was looking for some cabinet kitchen lights, but IDK if I should go for strip LED that connects to the wall and the cord doesn’t look good, the ones that you just got looked pretty good, would you tell me the brand, and also how long do they keep lights on for one charge?
For under cabinet in kitchen I would go with the led strips for sure.
Great video! Most ex-pat in Ecuador videos I see assure me there is a long list of things you cannot get in Ecuador, You can get almost anything from Amazon and if you can get Amazon in Ecuador, you can get almost anything in Ecuador. Thank you! First glimpse of the box I misjudged it's length and thought it might be an electric guitar. That would be on my want don't need list. Can I play guitar? No but, that doesn't keep me from having 12 here and wanting one wherever I end up. Take care and I hope you're dealing well with the recent inconveniences.
Thanks very much.
@@KrisandMike That survival camping lantern looks amazing, up to 120 hours of light on a single charge. I'm sure 20 lumens isn't much light but, "better to light a single candle". It does have 5 brightness levels so you do have options. That may go on my want, hope I don't need it before I get one list.
I know they say you’re only allowed four of those DD free packages per year, have you tested that? I wonder how they keep track.😂
I believe the rules for the duty free 4x4 system is $400 max with 4kg max UpTo $1600 a calendar year. They ask for your Cedula and I expect this is supposed to keep track of the amount. I appear to be over my 1600 this year but so far no problem. Lol 😆
@@KrisandMike excellent… so this only works for Expats? Could a local woman place orders as well?
It's for everyone 🎉
@@KrisandMike oooohhh…. I’m going to need to get lots of girlfriends.

Question. You may have said this but do you have it shipped to your local Servientrega location and they deliver it? I’m in Cuenca and have never had anything delivered before. Thank you!!
No you put your own address in. Doesn't need to be perfect or exact. You will be called for directions before delivery usually via WhatsApp. In WhatsApp you can attach your exact location. Try it.
@@KrisandMike Wow! Thanks so much for the reply! I’m going to try ordering tonight. I really appreciate your video. We are all excited to have Amazon delivered here cheaply but people have lots of questions and your video answered a lot of them. Thanks again!!
Totally unrelated question… are the mosquitos bad there?
Really depends on what you are used too. We had it much much worse in Canada. Not much at all. Others complain lol.
Looking forward to the crime stats vid!
Thanks 👍
