I have shipped $1000's to Bogota that way. They are cheap and FAST. It arrives one after they ship it from Miami.

They ship everything via Tampa Airlines. About $13 for the first pound and I think $2 for each additional pound. I shipped almost 60 packages to Bogota and none were damaged and they all arrived quickly.

They were recently fined by the DIAN here for tax issues and by customs for charging customers customs duties that were not being paid to customs. They didnt even ship, they use a freight forwarding company in Orlando.

I would avoid them...

In our business in Nicaragua we use T.A.N. in Miami as a freight forwarder and have never had a problem....

Our things are shipped/delivered to them, they are completely bi lingual and it is shipped as per our instructions....

Customs on the receiving end is your problem....
