Package Importation Service

A gentleman who lives in Heredia runs a package importation service that is not well known but which has loyal following. For all the details, you should contact him directly (see below). His English is perfect.

The gist of it is that when you make a purchase in the U.S. you have your goods sent to his warehouse in Florida. Then you immediately go online to his Google spreadsheet and record the fact that the package is coming. Once the seller ships your stuff and sends you a Tracking Number, you go back to your entry on the spreadsheet and insert the Tracking Number.

While the package is en route to Costa Rica, it's up to you to see if it's been received in Heredia. When it's here, you can go to his place and pick it up or have his delivery guy deliver it to you at an additional cost.

Okay, so what's it cost? The charge to bring your stuff from Florida to Heredia is a flat $8.00 per pound - no additional fees, taxes, etc. You can pay via funds transfer at a Costa Rican bank, you can pay when you pick up your goods, or you can pay the delivery guy when he arrives. All transactions are in U.S. Dollars; no colones, please. The cost of delivery to your home will depend on where you live.

Special Note: This service is not fast, so if you wish to use it, you should plan in advance.
