Just signed our lease! Anyone ship a container from the US recently? by ChristianTownsend
We have come to terms with the fact that it's going to take some time to buy a home here so we signed a lease yesterday. I've done a fair amounting of searching through old posts about shipping household goods to PR and the companies ...

Accessing live U.S TV shows by saysme
Does anyone know a way to access a live stateside TV lineup? Liberty's "English-language channel lineup" is a joke. I have been streaming stateside TV using an Apple TV but I cannot get 'live' channels. I can only record what I think I might want to ...
No, satellite tv and streaming platforms are different. You stream the apps through wi-fi. You need the internet to allow wifi streaming. Download the app to a smart tv or othe device and watch their programs. I recommend you look it up. Good Luck! Read More

I get them through a streaming app. I'm not sure what you're trying to watch but check their packages. I also have Dish (satellite) and Liberty for internet only. Read More

@saysme Maybe look into satellite. I have Prime, Sling, and Hulu and I have plenty of stateside TV shows. Hopefully, those options work. Read More
Buy a car in PR or ship from NYC? by JessicaMaria
Hi everyone! I have a question about my car. My car and I are currently in NYC. I have 18,900 left to pay on my lease, to keep my car. I pay 325 a month and have a 2020 Honda CR-V. I’m not sure if I should return this car (it’s a lease ...
@JessicaMaria Remember PR cars are at least a 30% markup. If it's 30k stateside, it'll be almost 45K here. Also, there is an inventory problem here on most things. Buying a used car could be beneficial but remember the markup and make sure you have ... Read More

@JessicaMaria Hola, unfortunately you will not be able to ship a leased vehicle to PR. The leasing company will not give you the paperwork to release the vehicle to be shipped and the shipping company will require it as will the Port Hacienda office ... Read More

We used UPack (multiple Pods), it was very inexpensive and timely. They quoted 4 weeks to the day from MD to PR. Items were intact and no issues. The problem came when we had to get local movers. Prices were outrageous and we determined that's ... Read More

Miramar is a hybrid and you can walk, but it depends. Think gentrification at the early stages. You could take Uber to the grocery stores. A lot of stores have minimal parking in the busy parts of San Juan. But, there are plenty parking garages and ... Read More

😂😂 It's okay, thats why this is a forum. I use Amazon for a lot of stuff (a silent shareholder at this point). It's no next day service, usually takes 3-5 days, but you'll get it. I live in a gated community, so they ... Read More

No worries! Ocean Park is between Condado and Isla Verde (all in San Juan). There are a lot of apartments in all of those areas - but it's a high traffic, tourist area, close to the beach. You'll be close to most things, but be prepared ... Read More

Do not stress! The housing market here is crazy - not always easy to find housing. Manage your evicted m expectations. An alternative could be a monthly ABNB, which is what we did while we scouted neighborhoods. We found a perfect posh location in ... Read More

Most agents speak English, so that shouldn't be a problem. However, I recommend using Google Translator to initiate your communication and let them know your primary language is English. Establishing a respect for the language is helpful in this ... Read More
Moving to Puerto Rico by Henny96
My boyfriend and I are highly interested in moving to La Isla de Encanto. We’re young adults with flexible careers that will allow us to either work from home or work directly on the island. For those who have made the big move from the US, ...
Congratulations! We have Liberty PR for internet service. We have the fastest speed available - a little costly I might add. My neighbor is an attorney for Claro and suggested Liberty after consulting with him. Apparently, although you may have ... Read More

My husband and I recently moved to PR in Feb. Being Puerto Rican myself and the ability to telework certainly made the decision easy. I've been here many times throughout my life, spent summers with family, but nothing compares to living here ... Read More

Hi, we're going through the same thing. We were told by TSA, airline and both mainland and PR gun store that we could travel with them too, but only for visiting purposes. If we were visiting with a return flight logged then we could travel with ... Read More

New members of the Puerto Rico forum, introduce yourselves here - 2021 by Julien
Hi all, Newbie on the Puerto Rico forum? Don't know how to start? This thread is for you ;) We invite you to introduce yourself on this topic, to share with us your expat story if you are already living in the country, or to tell us more ...
Welcome, we've been here for 2 weeks. PR does not have a traditional leasing program similar to the mainland. You will have to pursue their balloon buying program, which is considered similar - but not really to me. Also, you don't have to ... Read More

I too would like to know the answer! We just relocated from DC and have been looking for a house for 2 months and it's very competitive with little inventory. I've tried everything and what I noticed is I get more responses when I ... Read More
