Shipping to the Dominican Republic with europacco
A Dominican address runs to at least five lines and comes with a few codes of its own. A 4 kg parcel with illustrated guides for the bookshop of the Museo de las Casas Reales, in the historic centre of Santo Domingo, is addressed like this:
Museo de las Casas RealesC/ Las Damas s/n
Zona Colonial
10210
Santo Domingo
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Here "C/" is short for calle, the street, while "Av." stands for avenida, the avenue. The abbreviation "s/n" means sin número: the building has no assigned house number, an official notation that is common for well-known buildings. The district, when known, gets a line of its own between the street and the postal code. And the postal code is not written next to the town but above it, on a separate line. Copy the address into the form exactly in this shape and the rest of the order takes a few minutes, with online payment and a transport document to print.

Shipping time to the Dominican Republic
6 to 9 working days separate pickup in Italy from delivery on the island. The Dirección General de Aduanas checks incoming shipments and can hold a parcel for inspection. In the winter months the tourist high season fills the flights to the island, and between December and Epiphany the Christmas volumes stretch transit times: for gifts, ship by the end of November.
The most common questions about the Dominican Republic
Do you deliver to Punta Cana and Bávaro?
Yes. The eastern part of the island, with Punta Cana, Bávaro and La Romana, is among the most requested destinations: many Italians working in tourism and catering live there. Delivery goes to the recipient's address, just as in every other province.
Can I ship to a PO box (apartado postal)?
Better not. The apartado postal is the Dominican PO box, but the courier delivers in person and needs a physical address with street and sector. Ask the recipient for a home or work address and a phone number for coordination.
Can I send Italian food products to Santo Domingo?
The island has no shortage of Italian restaurants, so the request comes up often. Packaged, long-life foods are the best candidates, but Dominican customs checks food shipments: write to our customer service first and we will go through the contents together.
