Delivery
Anywhere in Costa Rica, right to your door.
Moving to Costa Rica?
We ship your household and your car from anywhere in the US and deliver them to your new home, customs included.
Your Household
A few boxes go in a shared container and you pay for the space they take. A whole house gets its own 20' or 40'.
Your Car
In a container or on a car ship. We see it through the inspection and paperwork it needs before it gets Costa Rican plates.
Customs
Our customs agent clears everything. Some residency categories come with a duty exemption for household goods, and we'll check whether yours does before you ship.
Delivery
To your door anywhere in Costa Rica. Smaller shipments can also wait for you at our office in Tamarindo.
Shipping From Wherever Your Supplier Is.
We plan each shipment around where your supplier is and what you're shipping, and book the route and carriers that cost you least on every leg. Your quote shows each step and its date before you accept.

Common Questions.
How Do You Get Me a Lower Price?
We start with the route. A lot of forwarders send everything through Florida, wherever it starts. We look at where your supplier is and ship from the port that costs you least to reach. Then we price each leg: on a full container, a few truckers for the drive to the port, several shipping lines for the sailing and a couple of trucking companies in Costa Rica for the delivery. We take the best price on each leg, add our fee and send you one total.
Do I Need My Own Customs Broker?
No. We work with licensed customs agents (agentes aduanales) at each port, and the one handling your shipment files the DUA in the portal, where you can see it. If you'd rather use your own agent, we add them to the shipment and they work from there.
What Can Suppliers Ship to the Warehouse?
Anything that's legal to export from the US and import into Costa Rica. Some goods need a permit first (food, medicine, chemicals), and we'll tell you which when you ask for a quote. Each delivery is checked in the day it arrives and shows up in your portal.
Can I Ship Less Than a Container?
Yes. Smaller loads go in a shared container that sails every week. You pay for the space you use, by the cubic metre (or by weight if it's heavy), and your cargo still has its own page in the portal.
Do You Ship Costa Rica to the US?
Not yet. Northbound comes next, once our US warehouse is running. The portal already handles both directions.
