Today the world of e-commerce allows us to make purchases in thousands of online stores without leaving the comfort of our homes. This is especially convenient when we are on vacation and do not know where to find the stores we usually go to in our home town.

Given the rapid growth of the area, it has become increasingly common to buy things online, which means the process has become easier.

For owners who wish to make an Internet purchase, we've compiled some useful information to help you to do so.

To make an online purchase from the Dominican Republic, you need 2 things: a credit or debit card, and a mailbox or physical address in the USA.  This is because when you buy something over the Internet, the company delivers the product to your mailbox or address in the USA, and another company then collects it and brings it to the Dominican  Republic.

There are various companies in Bávaro who collect from mailboxes or postal addresses in the USA, including the following:

Jetpack Punta Cana, who provide a particularly convenient service in that customers are given free membership which includes an address in Miami, meaning owners can buy whatever they like online. Payment for the delivery service is made on receipt of the goods, priced according to weight, and deliveries are made directly to Iberstate Bávaro.  

EPS also charges according to weight, but customers have to go and collect their package from the delivery offices. 

Mail Box, where customers have to subscribe annually for membership in the USA, as well as paying per pound in weight for the delivery of the item.

CPS, which, like the others, also requires both paying for membership and for the delivery according to weight.

All these companies have offices in the area, located on average 15 minutes by car from Iberostate Bávaro, so if they choose, owners can go and collect their orders personally if their chosen company does not do home deliveries.

These improvements in communication and transport mean we can spend more time in paradise without worrying that we do not have everything we need.
