We recently interviewed 'Bill', who's been coming to Costa Rica for 25 years but has just recently moved here. I asked him what he thought of shipping containers. This is HIS perspective, although I couldn't agree MORE.
*I would also encourage you to bring your own computers, cameras and other electronics- much cheaper in the States.
But I understand, their can be any number of reasons why someone may want to ship their stuff, so here's a few things you should know.
It could cost upwards of $10 grand to ship your stuff. You're going to need two movers, one in the States and another one here in Costa Rica.
Personally, I would find the Costa Rica mover first. They can be a GREAT resource on how to do things RIGHT the first time to avoid problems when your stuff reaches Costa Rica. For example, they can provide tips on how you can minimize the tax bill in Costa Rica by properly valuing your things.
You're going to want to choose your Costa Rica mover very carefully. Your choice can be the variable whether the experience is good or bad, fast or slow, reasonable or costly and tolerable or a living NIGHTMARE.
Here's a GREAT place to start your homework: Association of Residents of Costa Rica. ARCR for short.
For me, I might use a container one day,,,,,for this....hehe
