Shipping supplies to Chile

10 years ago

Hi,

I want to move to the Lakes region of Chile, and I want to send all of my personal belongings to Puerto Montt or Valdavia. The shipping companies that I've talked to in the US all ask for a specific destination address for me to send it to, but I haven't yet found my house or land yet. Right now, I have an approximate area in mind. Is it possible to ship your stuff to Chile, and put it in a storage unit I get my housing situation settled?

If I have to buy my land (or housing property first), then I'd have to fly all the way back to the US just to ship my stuff out. I can't get a solid answer from anyone I've contacted about shipping stuff to Chile, and where to potentially store my things til my housing gets ironed out.

There has to be a basic solution to this, and I keep coming up with nothing everywhere I go. I even went down to Chile last year, and got no answers anywhere. I can't believe that you can't ship and store somewhere.
