What is the best way to send heavy stuff back to the USA.

Posted by Stephane d'Ursel on August 27, 2015 at 11:43am in News

Hi there,

Has anyone THE best solution?

We need to send a couple of heavy boxes back to the US, but not enough for a container. There are about 4 heavy boxes, i guess some weight more than the 25 kg allowed at mailbox. Any alternatives would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot

Has anyone mentioned Bill Krueger? He is presently trying to fill up a container destined for the US from Panama.

Oops, looks like Ed already mentioned this option. Good luck!

  He's looking for 10 more pallets to fill the container that's waiting to go to

Hi there,

Mind if I ask where you're shipping to..? I have 9 boxes that need to go to Vancouver BC Canada.

Anyone out there shipping to or near to Vancouver, or Seattle area?

Brent is handling my "stuff" but consolidating a load may be cheaper...

Check out the Facebook page "Florida 2 Bocas Shared Containers". This service is run by Bill Kreuger out of Bocas del Toro. He is looking to start shipping back to the U.S. if he gets enough response to fill the containers.

Shipping LCL ( less than a container load) is going to be your cheapest way. I would put them on a pallet and shrink wrap them well. Al white does several LCL loads back and forth to Miami each month. His email is alwhitepty@gmail.com . He can probably arrange to have it picked up here and moved to a consolidation warehouse in PC for shipment.

  make sue you get the approved pallet as there are restrictions. I made a box on pallet 4x4x6 ft and shipped as partial container (beware this can take much longer to arrive at destination !

Thank you Judy,

any names of a moving company? I do this for friends who went back to the States. I am not even American, so i don't know how things would go after the arrival in some US ports.
