Overview

TransPacific manages the physical move: packing, container or consolidated shipping, marine insurance, customs brokerage at Caldera or Limón, and delivery to your door on the Gold Coast. One quote, both ends, no surprise port fees.

Their landing team then handles what follows the truck: utilities and internet, bank account appointments, SIMs, vehicle purchase guidance, and an orientation that compresses your first overwhelming month into a week.

Why We Recommend Them

Moves go wrong at the seams — between the shipper, the port, and customs. TransPacific owns the whole chain, and their honest 'don't ship that' advice has saved our clients real money. The pet handling alone earns the recommendation.

Things To Know

What does a container move cost?

From North America, full 40-foot door-to-door moves commonly land in the $12,000–$20,000 range including customs; shared containers cost far less. Quotes are itemized, both ends.

What shouldn't I ship?

Cheap furniture (humidity kills it), most appliances (voltage and parts), and anything replaceable locally for less than its freight. Their pre-move audit is blunt and saves money.

How does my dog get here?

Health certificate, vaccinations, and SENASA import permission, timed correctly. They run the timeline and book pet-safe routings — it's routine when sequenced right.

Can I import my car?

You can, but import duties commonly reach 50%+ of the vehicle's assessed value — they'll run the math honestly; most clients sell at home and buy here.
