Can anybody offer advice on how to ship personal items, currently located in Ensenada, Mexico to Huahine?聽 I don鈥檛 have anything very large (no furniture) - it鈥檚 mainly clothes, kitchen items, sports equipment.聽 I鈥檓 estimating everything will fit into a container approximately 1.5 meters x 2.5 m x 3 m.聽 Any ideas on shipping companies, storage facilities in any of the islands (where the items can be stored while I search for a home), or other cost effective shipping methods will be helpful.

Hi AlishaG,

Welcome to Expat.Com

The forum seems a bit inactive, hopefully you will get some feedbacks. You could still contact the professionals recommended in the Moving companies in French Polynesia section to enquire.

All the best,

IaOrana,
I just found your post today. I moved to Papeari on the island of Tahiti from Florida a bunch of years ago and I used NEX shipping. There is no "cost effective" shipping to Tahiti. - it's all expensive. I don't remember the exact total cost, but I shipped a half container and it was in the neighborhood of $25,000 US dollars which included pickup and delivery. If you are shipping routine items, it might just be less expensive to buy new items in French Polynesia.
Take care.
Nana,

Thank you,
