I want to ask people living in Costa Rica if you have been able to find or buy services from any of these business since you have been in the country. Did you have to pay a lot to have good shipped to you or did you have to also pay high import duty?

1.) Has anyone bought a queen size Tempurpedic mattress since they move to Costa Rica?
2.) Does any one buy books on amazon.com frequently?
3.) What about order from cooks.com or William Sonoma?
And finally,
4.) Did anyone decided to bring nothing from the States and just start over buying everything they needed once they arrived in Costa Rica?

Thanks,
Tom in Portland, Oregon

I spend a lot of money on Amazon each year and have them delivered to my Aerocasillas box in Florida and they end up at my front door here in Costa Rica – no problem. I have never paid taxes on books, CDs or the DVDs that I have ordered from them.

There are plenty of good mattress companies here.

Plenty of people come here with carry on bags and buy whatever they need here…

If you establish a mail forwarding address in the U.S., you can shop on-line and have almost anything shipped to that address; however, we have found the cost of forwarding significant enough to avoid buying what we can do without. Aerocasillas, Jet Box, and the Association of Residents of Costa Rica all offer mail forwarding services.

There is a Tempurpedic mattress store in Escazu.
