Route blueprint
How Texas relocations hit Puerto Rico faster
We pre-stage cartons, crates and vehicles inside climate-controlled warehouses in Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston before relaying everything to our Port of Houston export yard. Coordinators monitor I-10, I-35 and I-45 so your crews arrive with elevator pads, COIs and parking permits in hand.
Families and founders get guidance on what to pack, what to store and how to prep their first 30 days in Puerto Rico. We also align flights with arrival windows so you can step off in San Juan or Aguadilla as your shipment clears.

Route intelligence for Texas departures
Keeping Gulf sailings on time
Houston and Dallas high-rises need COIs and dock elevators; Austin hill country homes require shuttle vans and low-clearance planning; Gulf Coast drives in Corpus and Galveston need bridge and wind checks. We align those access rules with vessel cutoffs so your sealed container doesn't miss a sailing and your delivery hits San Juan on schedule.
Typical 8-10 day flow
Day 1: Pack/load with floor protection · Day 2: linehaul to port · Day 3: sail · Day 7-8: San Juan discharge · Day 8-10: bilingual delivery and setup in Dorado, Condado or Rincon, plus optional storage-in-transit if your keys slip.

Texas origin notes for Puerto Rico arrivals
City- and suburb-specific advice
Houston high-rises and med centers expect COIs, dock windows and union options; Dallas/Frisco estates need gated access coordination; Austin tech families in hill country want quiet crews and careful stair work; San Antonio and Corpus owners ask for vehicle and boat timing to land with their freight. We tailor each plan and seal your container to the sailing that fits your calendar.
Prep checklist
- Note fragile items (art, wine, instruments) for climate-crating and photo inventory.
- Isolate essentials vs. storage-in-transit to avoid island clutter.
- Align flights with discharge so pets, vehicles and household goods land together.
