Shipping to Costa Rica

DGX Shipping to Costa RicaDGX - Dependable Hawaiian Express creates superb value by offering excellent shipping, to and from Costa Rica, at competitive pricing.

For the past 10 years, DGX, in conjunction with its Costa Rican partner, Transportes Mundiales Bensa, has been offering weekly direct service from Los Angeles to San Jose, via Puerto Caldera, Costa Rica.

With our company service provider goals of reducing freight charges and transit times from the West Coast of the USA to Costa Rica, our direct service from Los Angeles separates DGX from any other freight forwarder in the Costa Rican market. It’s the special combination of the direct route and fast transit times.

West Coast cargo can more easily move to Los Angeles as opposed to routing via Florida which is expensive and cumbersome.

Additionally, trucking companies have been increasing their overland rates lately due to fuel surcharges (coupled with decreased service levels due to weather issues and driver shortages), and Aeromexico has stopped its direct weekly freighter from LA to SJO. Lastly, a rise in ocean rates from Miami to Costa Rica. Given this set of issues, customers can better control their costs by taking advantage of our West Coast-to-Costa Rica service.

Recently, we changed our Costa Rica service for the better and can deliver your goods in 10 days as opposed to 17. A major advantage to our service! Most importantly, DGX sailings cut off on Fridays and sail on Wednesdays, as opposed to other providers that service this destination via Miami.

We will continue making a major difference to all customers shipping from the West Coast by providing options that simply make more sense with great rates and fast transit times.

DGX is committed to our customers shipping to and from Costa Rica. We're creating superb value by offering excellent service at affordable rates.
