Best way to ship household items from Florida to Panama

1POSTS

last week

What is the best way to ship household items, no vehicle, no large appliance's, no large furniture, just 3 bikes, household kitchen items (plates, small appliances, glasses, silverware, pots, etc.), normal house everyday items so you don't have to buy again, Bose surround system, 3 TV's, mementos, paperwork you can't throw out, etc.? Do you pay any import fees or taxes on these items? Is it worth it? I truly hate to start completely over again buying everything for a house.

I see no one has responded to your post yet. Too bad because I also would like some insight on this topic. As a Person who lives in the United States and lived in Panama for a year, My best guess is that it would probably be around the same price to replace vs shipping. Shipping can be very frustrating due to the little quirks. I have heard stories about people not getting their items released for months. Well, good luck with that.
