Moving to/from Brazil

[bora bora 1]

My husband and I are planning on moving back to Brazil next year (yeaaaa) and although we don't have much stuff that we plan to take, there are some things that we won't leave behind.

Soooo, we're pretty sure we won't need a 20' container or anything. I was wondering if anyone has experience, or knows of, a company that will ship boxes to Brazil. Let's say the destination was Rio.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance, Meredith

I've heard some people talking about a service that ships big boxes by volume, not by weight, and the price was actually really affordable. Of course it goes by boat and takes over a month to arrive but a lot of people that live in the US send electronics (like TVs) to their families in Brasil that way. I never used it or tried learning more about it but I've read about it quite a few times.

Laura,

That's what I'm looking for. Do you have a name for a service? I'm not worried about the time, we can send it before we leave.

Thanks, Meredith

I really can't remember what the company was called, like I said I never needed or looked into it, I just remember people mentioning it around the forums.

Ok...thanks. I'll try posting this question somewhere else to see if someone knows the name.

Hi Meredith,

Good luck on the move to Brazil. We will be there also, but in 5-6 years. Check with the Brazilian Consulate on this question. When I was at the Brazilian Consulate here in Houston last, there was a couple asking just this type of question and the Consulate gave them a list of companies to contact. Again, best wishes to both of you.

Boa viagem!

Thanks everyone! I found a number of companies on-line but wanted to look into Brazilian companies. I saw the message above regarding Fastway Moving and then I saw them advertising in the Brazilian supermarket by my house. They had a few boxes, different sizes with prices on them so I'll definetly check them out. I wanted to have an idea about how much it'd cost us to move.
