We are looking into shipping things to Costa Rica and want to know if anyone has comments about particular companies. We will be shipping from Miami if we decide to do it. THanks for any input!
It really doesn’t matter where you ship from. Arranging a container to be delivered to your home, getting it onboard a ship, and getting it into port in Costa Rica are very routine matters for anyone in the business.
The difficulty comes in getting your things through Customs and in having the local resources to warehouse them, if necessary, and to deliver them to their ultimate destination in Costa Rica. That’s where local knowledge, experience and contacts are invaluable.
Two shipping companies based here can make all the arrangements for you and give you a firm price that includes Costa Rican Customs duty. Both have good reputations.
ShipCostaRica is one. E-mail Arden Brink at:
The other is Logistics Management Associates. E-mail Mike Rappaport at:

[/quote]I agree that Zeller is very good. He moved us here and resolved all problems with customs.
http://www.solutionscostarica.com/relocating/Although we moved here from Asia our receiver here was Mundiales a very large professional company. They helped with their own customs broker and devalued our household items fairly. I didn’t like paying duty on used items and even freight charges but that’s CR and the price of moving here.
I heard excellent recommendations about Charles Zeller as he is very experienced and provides that personal assistance, would use him next.

I can say without a doubt one company NOT to use is FLAMINGO CARGO (flamingocargo.com)- they are based out of Miami. We shipped our items with them. Nothing arrived and we have been trying to collect on the insurance we paid without success. When we had our lawyer in San Jose check into them it turns out they are not registered with customs in Costa Rica or the US.
They had us hoodwinked by saying it was CR Customs holding everything up and kept assuring us that the items were safe and would be delivered.
We lost most of our years of travel memorabilia in that shipment. Our fault for not having looked into them closer, so we are trying to put out the warning to others about this company.
