ibarra Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 I know there have been other posts about this topic but, who do you recommend? And, once I sign up to use them, what's next? Example, how am I charged for their service? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvanparys Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 We used America Ship for delivery of an area rug...It arrived safe and sound. Their site provides a shipping calculator for pricing your shipment. You are charged on your credit card. Their website is: www.america-ship.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexbound Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 A question for rvanparys, For delivery to your house in Mexico, what delivery service does America Ship use? DHL? FedEx?, their own ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostlylost Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Estafeta has a service the name is Merkalink. They handle customs clearance and shipping. They give you a free address in Laredo and when your package arrives there, notify you by email. I have used them for 10 years to import every thing from auto parts to gas fireplace logs with no problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 We use a consolidating service in Houston who repacks everything into 1 box, saving lots on shipping costs. Down to Laredo with Estafeta USA and then as Mostlylost says it goes into Customs in NL and then here by ground in 5-7 days on Estafeta. More than 10 years, never a problem, one complete price covers the shipping and duty. We will have a box packed tomorrow with 47 items in it including a robot vacuum. It will leave Houston next Monday (the no extra charge shipping day) and should be delivered to our condo by the following Saturday. 3 cans of Mary Kitchen hash, sometimes you just want it.

shirley Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 pappysmarket what is the name of the company that does the consolidating service in Houston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pappysmarket Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 6 minutes ago, shirley said: pappysmarket what is the name of the company that does the consolidating service in Houston? US Global Mail we just renewed a couple of months ago and we paid $250 for 24 months. Letters can stay indefinitely with no storage cost, packages 30 days and then you will pay storage. They will open and scan letters for you at additional cost. Repackaging is a flat $5 fee. Not per item. So when we decide to order something we go ahead and get anything else we want within our 30 day window and have only once paid extra storage. They scan the items in so you see the label of everything they have for you and each package shows how many free days of storage you have left. It's a no brainer for us. https://www.usglobalmail.com/ Should you decide to sign up use this link and we'll both get a free month. https://www.usglobalmail.com/personal/mail-package-forwarding/?referrer_id=19783 Pappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cstone Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 I use Hugh Roberts . I just received a big Amazon US order + other items. I am happy to send you info if you like. I have the items shipped to his warehouse in TX, he consolidates and prepares the tax/customs papers and pays the IVA. I pay Hugh when he delivers the goods. A lot depends on weight and size and value of items. I can highly recommend his services. Once you contact Hugh or his son Isaac, they will give you all the information, etc, pricing and procedures.

pappysmarket Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 Estafeta charges seem to differ slightly based on weight, value and whether we want insurance but are basically $4-$5 per pound with 10 pound minimum charge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mexbound Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 As Cstone says, check with Hugh Roberts. Easy, done deal. Worked with Hugh for three years now. You want it, you got it. Got to pay for it but …. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
