Shipping to Belize: Have you had this experience? by mcforte
Hello everyone,I am currently preparing to ship our personal effects from Canada to Belize. After getting estimates from several companies in Canada, a number of them reported the same unusual problem: they could not find any Belizean shipping ...
I think I'm missing something about your question. I'm not certain where, exactly, your Canadian shippers are planning on shipping your contents to. I receive merchandise from the USA on a regular basis, to my home in Belize. There are a number of ... Read More
Mail Order Pharmacies Shipping to Belize by garnpooky
Has anyone used a mail order pharmacy to receive their medications not available in Belize. If so, which one and how did it work? I have run into a roadblock trying to locate a pharmacy that can fill a prescription in the country.
@garnpooky Agreed, there are some medications that just can't be obtained here in-country. Another possible option, depending on exactly where you are, would be to obtain the medication in Mexico or in Guatemala, if you're fairly near to one of ... Read More

A lot might depend on the specific details of your prescription. Here in Cayo, I could get a prescription from a Belizean doctor, and the local pharmacies can fill that. On the other hand, some medications that require a prescription in the US are ... Read More

Greetings, I need help finding a company who will forward my mail from current home in Florida so I can view and handle it in Belize. I have sent $9.99 to a company called iPostal1 to receive my mail, view it and notify me. However, I am having ...

Coming to visit by darjo16
Hi all,I am coming to Belize in later April. I will be experiencing the ATM cave and Placencia. I have 4 more nights to explore a different area of Belize. Where should I visit with an eye to possible moving there? Punta Gorda?Thanks, Darcy
I'd suggest that four nights is insufficient for you to form a basis for an opinion as to where you might want to move to. There's no one area of Belize that really represents everyday life in the entire country. So with limited time, a lot might ... Read More
Newbie to the Belize forum by ccassaday
Hi all! My husband and I are currently in Galveston Tx. researching the benefits of moving full time to Belize. We retired 5 years ago and built a house at our current location, but it's so expensive and we want to live a simpler life in Belize. We ...

Shipping a vehicle in is quite doable, although somewhat costly (we've done it). I believe there are several companies that do it. If memory serves me correctly, we used Hyde Shipping out of Florida, and it all went quite smoothly. I don't offhand ... Read More
