Sending a box or barrel from Canada to family in the Dominican Republic is simple when you know the steps. Here is how it works with ShipToDR.com, from packing to delivery.

1. Choose your box or barrel

Custom box: priced by its dimensions in the quote tool

Prices are in CAD and depend on the destination city; see the price list by city. Need a box or barrel? Ask us when you book.

2. Pack it the right way

Pack tightly so items do not shift, and seal the box well.
Do not pack fragile items: every box and barrel is opened and inspected by Dominican customs.
Electronic items such as microwaves and blenders are $15 extra per item.
Generators, electrical equipment and commercial goods may be charged 18% customs.
Check the prohibited items list before you pack.

3. Book online

Start your quote: add your boxes or barrels, choose your destination city and see your exact price before you pay.

4. Drop off or get a pickup

Drop off at our Mississauga warehouse (3670 Odyssey Drive, Unit 3), or select pickup at checkout. We pick up in the GTA, run scheduled routes in Montreal and Ottawa, and arrange pickup anywhere in Canada.

5. Track it to the door

Your box travels in our consolidated sea container and generally arrives about 2 to 4 weeks after the container departs. Track it online; Canadian phone numbers also get SMS updates. It is delivered to the home or business address you give us in the Dominican Republic.
