At some point we’ll need a moving company and o move us back to NY from las terrenas. Anyone had any experiences that weren’t horror stories?

We dont normally hear about people leaving DR.聽 Usually just coming, not going.聽 Just wondering, why are you leaving?聽 No need to say if you dont want to discuss it.

In my years I've known and heard of many giving up on the dr.聽聽In most cases it was the wives who couldnt handle it.

Why sell or abandon?

We鈥檙e not moving furniture.聽 Just clothes, books, kitchen items. We鈥檝e been living in our Airbnb and all the furnishings stay.

As for the comments about 鈥済iving up on DR鈥� , not giving up and I don鈥檛 know what place judgement has in a factual question.聽

I invested in the DR in 2005 and an still invested.聽 I chose to live in my investment property throughout COVID and now I鈥檓 getting ready to go home.聽 if you don鈥檛 have a mover, why are you commenting?

Hi all - did anyone have any company to recommend for shipping the boxes? Have a similar situation where i need to go back for a short stay and need some personal items with us back. The companies mainly ship to DR, not from, and UPS/DHL etc rates are high.
Any referal to the shipping company would be highly appreciated!

Maybe check with the airlines to see if they can send in cargo?
