Not all mail forwarding services can do what is needed in the DR. The mail service there and the delivery services are really poor to non-existent. You need a company that bypasses the usual services and does most of the work themselves.
IT IS A real third world country.
If you choose the wrong company your packages will end up at some airport waiting to clear customs. The airport may be 4-5 hours away and you have to go and pay propino to get your stuff. The ones that deal with the DR every day know how to avoid or minimize the problem. Since it is another country customs forms need to be filled out for every package. Some companies will not do that.
