Hi, I'd like to ship a large piece of wooden furniture from Uruguay to the US. It's about 4ft tall x 2ft wide and about 50lb, so not that big really. I'm having trouble finding someone to box and get ready for shipping. Are there pack/ship services available in Montevideo? Or any other recommendations for help with this?

Contact a company called Autogiro and ask to talk to Julio Acosta. Tell him that you are recommended by Colette Van Der Watt. His phone number is 2924-1577. They specialize in moving household good and single personal belongings too. Please know that the URU law says that if you're not a citizen of this country it is very difficult to ship items abroad. Stupid law but that's what my friend Colette wants me to let you know. However, please talk it over with Julio. He'll give you accurate information about this issue. Good luck!

I am surprised by that. I know of several people who lived here for a while and then moved back to the US and shipped their stuff back.
Apart from the cost, none mentioned it was a problem.
Another big company here is Uruvan. They could also give a quote.

I can vouch for Uruvan. They are very good to work with and have English speakers too. They are located in Montevideo.

I will be moving a container from my home in Punta back to the US, Montevideo to Savannah, in the next few months. We will have plenty of room and maybe we can take your furniture with us. If anyone else needs furiture moved, please contact me.
