Tomas Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 In Preparation of moving back to the US we are looking for viable suggestions in transporting several hundred pounds of household items to Laredo or San Antonio,Tx. It may consist of a partial Van. Appreciate viable and accurate information. Also looking for packing material and boxes..I can and will pick up.

adafromhavana Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 A friend of mine just moved a lot of household items from Guadalajara to Dallas Texas by mexican luxury bus. I believe there is no limits what you can take in suitcases. All you pay is the regular passenger fare.No extra for the luggage. You might want to check it out.

Joco Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Doesn't the Mexican bus change to Greyhound at the border? Does the person have to carry everything across the border to the Greyhound and does Greyhound change for extra luggage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solajijic Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 The idea is that you take the bus with your items thru Mexico. At the border you would unload into a cab, go across the border and then drop ship it from the US side to where ever you are going to end your trip.

bmh Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Not sure what luxury line that would be as most of the ones I yake will charge for extra luggage. I work with artisans and I can tell you they all get charge for extra luggage when they go to gairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomas Posted July 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 The bus will not accomodate anywhere near our household good and decorations. What we are asking is there a driver with a large car or a van that would drive our stuff to the Border (Laredo) or to San Antonio where we would meet them and transfer to our Van.".No we are not driving back we are flying." Another option is with a moving or shipping company that would ship a container to Laredo or San Antonio or Houston and we could pick it up there. Again is there anyone with boxes and packing material that they want to havepicked up??TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intercasa Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 Ok, there is a guy transporting people's cars to the border where the person is permanente and cannot or will not nationalize them and maybe he could take stuff little by little, it will get it out of Mexico and he is going north.

privado Posted July 18, 2013 Report Share Posted July 18, 2013 there are thousands of freight trucks leaving mexico empty every week returning to the US I shipped an entire household from the bay area by commercial 53ft freight truck- you can also do partial loads with some companies call a customs broker in Laredo - they speak english and spanish they will be able to direct you how to do this- check on line for a broker who specializes in freight- so not tell them you are moving household goods- only boxed freight----- otherwise they will recommend a moving company - you do have to pack and load the truck yourself or hire help saved me 20,000.00 dollars---after getting quote from a lakeside moving company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
