Welcome! Remember Murphy's Law - everything that can go wrong will go wrong. I suggest you sell everything you can before you move. Buy energy efficient appliances here. If you can keep your electric usage below 150 kWh/month, you get a 51% subsidiary = sweet!

We are a family of 5 and due to a house flood last years all of our furniture is brand new and all new appliance energy efficient. Even if we sell it all we will be losing a lot of money and I read that the cost for household good is more expensive and the quality may not be so good. Has anyone used a moving copy and taken your house hold item when relocating to Nicaragua?

For reference...I moved a small container of HH goods down here. I loaded a small container with my own help in Miami...got the stuff down there in a rental truck loaded by my guys. Then when here, delivered to my house from MGA. Cost me about $5,000 with all transport, help and the customs clearance help down here. You may need a big container which will add $800.
If you do not do the original load and then reload of the container yourself...use a moving company turnkey...it will cost $10,000 or more for a reasonable size house load of goods.
You need to have duty exoneration if you bring stuff in (like a residency) and that must be done before the container arrives. Duty is a lot...on a house load of stuff it would likely be another $5,000...and maybe more.
If you are not attached to things (I was) you can get just about anything you need and/or could get in USA down here and about the same price. Big and small appliances and kitchen stuff no problem...

Get your residency visa first or you will pay a fortune in customs fees. You can find good quality here if you are willing to look. We now know many people who paid to have containers shipped here and are now either shipping things back or just leaving them. Look before you leap and get your paperwork in order first.
Living in Nicaland is very different than reading about it on the internet.

I am looking for an energy efficient freezer for my feeding center. Would you please tell me where I can buy one for about the same price as in the US?? I have found that appliances are more like double the US price or maybe more.

Look in the new PriceSmart on the road to Masaya. We were there last week and they had several sizes of chest type freezers. We had not seen them before, Simans is another place to look. They carry top of the line appliances that actually have insulation. We saw them at the Santo Domingo Galerias. There are several stores in that center that have fridges and freezers, or at least they did when we were looking. Oriental Market also has a huge section of used things, and some of them are good quality if you have time to look.

Put your stuff in storage and come give Nic. a trial spin to see if you like it and can afford it. For a whole lot less than the shipping costs you can go to Plastinque and Maxipali and set up your house with stuff to get you by.
