Can anyone find an international moving company having had previous
experience specific to Ecuador and can guarantee "door to door"
service to the Quito area from Seattle, Washington using the city of
Manta as the "port of entry"?  The goods to be moved are household
articles and furniture?

I would be greatful for this information.

Thanks, Unclewiggly

questions! I suppose you found Ecuador more to your liking!  :-)

International Moving Locator sites:
====================================

OneEntry.com is an international moving company locator. The home page
has a drop down  menu to enter your information. I tried following the
links, but the site requested more information that I could supply.
(Zip code, name, number of rooms to be move, etc.). You may want to
investigate this site further, as is claims to be able to locate the
appropriate mover for you!

    I hope this helps you locate a good mover. I can?t possibly
guarantee any of these sites reliability or door to door service. This
is something you may be able to negotiate with the specific company
when you contact them. Please read the Tips for Moving that  have
provided, as you will glean useful and possibly money saving tips.

If any part of my answer is unclear, please request an Answer

will be happy to assist you further on this question, before you rate
the answer. Good luck, y Buen Viaje!

Thanks / JSKLV

Thanks, I'll see where this gets me.  Your response was listed as a
comment and if I get great assurances from these places I would
certainly want to give you something even if your "comment" was not
officially all that I was asking, but I'm not sure how to do that
unless you have a Pay-Pal account so I could send a different amount
than the $65.  I'm new to this so please let me know if you have an
idea.

Thanks again, Unclewiggly

To Crabcakes:

Not sure how to reply directly to you but it looks like you?ve won again.

You remembered me from my last question.  Yes, I came dangerously
close to buying a piece of property in Venezuela.  In a little town
called Santo Domingo near Merida in the Andes.  It was a very large
house with four cabanas on the property built next to a beautiful
river all for $70,000USD!  However, we came to understand that we
would be vulnerable there to a criminal element.

The Venezuelan people are a bit more aggressive than in other South
American Countries, so we ended up near Quito, Ecuador.  We bought a
house just outside of Quito and every day we can?t believe what a
great place this is.  Ecuador is fabulous and I intend to be buried
here.  I feel very sad about what has happened to America politically.

So what do I do now?  I rated your answer at 5 stars so does that mean
you automatically get paid?

Thanks & Ciao, --Unclewiggly

Thank you for the stars, UncleWiggly!Once your question is answered,
in the answer box, you are charged. While we researchers appreciate
being rated (especially with 5 stars!), it is not necessary in order
to pay for your question.


    Merida IS a beautiful place - I spent a summer there, and my
brother-in-law is on the faculty at ULA. There was some anti-US
American sentiment then, but I understand it has greatly increased.
When one of my family members (Who holds Venezuelan and USA
citizenship) went to ULA recently to speak, bodyguards were provided!

   Enjoy Ecuador!

   Espero que ha aprendido bastante español, y tambien idiomas  indígenas! 

   Ciao, Crabcakes

Crabcakes,

You fart!  I got my friend to read your last remark in Espanole for
me.  Like you and everyone else eh!

Yeah, I know I?ve got to learn the language here to make my experience
here of any real value.  But I lack the discipline necessary for the
achievement!  I need to meet a 28 year old who will withhold sex from
me until I learn how to beg in Spanish!  I can't think of another
thing that would have just the right motivational components.  But
thanks for your incouragement.

Anytime you want to check out Ecuador let me know and we can put you up.

It?s a great world out there if one is not trapped in a socio-economic
hell like the poor in Caracas.  It is a god forsaken city if I ever
saw one.  People criticize Chavez for not changing things fast enough
but god what a job he has on his hands if he is sincere in what he
communicates in his speeches.

Thanks again,

Ciao, Unclewiggly
