Registration is completely free. Do it before your boxes reach the warehouse, so we can identify them as soon as they come in.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 2: prepare and label your boxes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Use sturdy, right-size boxes.<\/strong> By air, you pay the greater of actual and volumetric weight, so empty space costs money.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mark each box<\/strong> with the name of the person receiving in Panama, the full delivery address and the recipient&#8217;s phone numbers. This step is required if you drop off the boxes yourself.<\/li>\n<li><strong>For delicate items,<\/strong> ask for repacking in wooden crates, at an extra cost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 3: get the boxes to our warehouse<\/h2>\n<p>You have three ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Drop them off<\/strong> at 8805 NW 35th Lane, Miami, FL 33172.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ship them<\/strong> with UPS, FedEx, USPS or another carrier to that address, in the name of the person receiving in Panama.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Have us pick them up<\/strong> anywhere in the US. Pickup has an extra cost that depends on the city; request your quote.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>If you shop online, use the same address. On Amazon, using our Miami address saves you 7% in taxes. More at <a href=\"\/en\/amazon\/\">Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 4: combine your shipments if it helps<\/h2>\n<p>You get 2 weeks of free storage in our Miami warehouse. If you&#8217;re expecting several boxes or purchases, ask us to hold them so they ship together. With your authorization, and at an extra cost, we can also combine them into one box to reduce the volume.<\/p>\n<h2>Step 5: send your invoice and get your quote<\/h2>\n<p>Send a copy of the invoice or purchase receipt to facturas@nextdaycargo.com. We quote by weight or volume, and you choose air or ocean. Remember: goods must be in our warehouse at least one day before departure.<\/p>\n<p>The formulas are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Air:<\/strong> length \u00d7 width \u00d7 height in inches \u00f7 139 = volumetric weight in pounds. You pay the greater of this and the actual weight.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ocean:<\/strong> length \u00d7 width \u00d7 height in inches \u00f7 1728 = cubic feet.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Step 6: pay and track<\/h2>\n<p>Shipments are prepaid by credit or debit card, deposit or transfer, also through <a href=\"\/en\/pagos-en-linea\/\">online payments<\/a>.
