Toys and clothes to Ibague We have several people whose families live in Ibague, who I imagine will be going home at Christmas from Bogota. The hard thing is to get them to Colombia. It might be be useful to say where the goods are now so people can think of a way. It would cost a lot to take so much in excess luggage.

Forwarder in Miami This lady ships things to Colombia cheap. You'll have to get your box to her address somehow. Call or email her for details.

Postings are as recent as March, 2006. Accuracy of the following can change on a frequent basis, so you may want to do your own due diligence?

I have shipped documents using servientrega in Miami. If I remember correctly, price was $10 or $15 for up to 7 lbs, and something like $1.10 each additional pound. Arrived in barranquilla within 2 or 3 days. I heard DHL was supposed to buy the company... but I do not know if this has happened, and if it has, have the rates increased?

I know a good one in Los Angeles Yo he enviado cajas gigantes con regalos, ropa, etc, oops,english please!!! ok, the company is called ZAI Cargo, I think they have office there, and they are very safe and super-fast, no matter how big the box, it gets there in a week, heir website is ZAICArgo.com. Here in LA they even offer pick up service, the price is also reasonable, comes to almost a dollar per pound.
