So it looks like I will be relocating to Ecuador in fall 2018. I'm currently in Guayaquil for the second time, each time I've stayed for about a month.
I've done quite a bit of shopping at MegaKywi, mi Comisariato, the malls, etc. Ecuador seems to have almost everything I'll want or need
But... one item I can't find a decent local equivalent is a classic Weber 22" kettle grill. None of the grills I found when shopping here have the correct vents for airflow. I'm a serious BBQ enthusiast!
I checked at the hardware stores and malls in Guayaquil and Samborondon. I looked around markets when I visited Cuenca.
I checked Mercado Libre -- not currently available in Ecuador or Peru. Colombia has them, but it would mean quite a long trip to pick it up at double the US price-- and still probably having to pay the tariffs when crossing the border back into Ecuador.
Amazon Global doesn't ship the Weber grills here
The package weight is 39 pounds
What company do you recommend for shipping this? DHL? FedEX? UPS? A local freight fowarder? Who?
I'm prepared to pay the tariffs and taxes.
