Domino Shipping
Do you want to send items from the Netherlands to family or friends in the Dominican Republic? You can do so with Domino Shipping — and with every box you send, you also support the projects of the Domino Foundation.
The full profit goes to the foundation
Domino Shipping is an activity of the Domino Foundation Dominican Republic. A large part of the work (collection, administration, promotion) is done by volunteers. As a result, we are cheaper than regular carriers and all profits go to the foundation's projects.
DOMINO SHIPPING
More than a box
For many people, sending a box to the Dominican Republic is not just a simple shipment. It is a way to care for family. To help. To show that you are thinking of them, even if you are far away.
Every box contains something personal: clothing, food, items that are much needed there. But above all, it contains something you cannot pack — attention and love. That is why we make the process as clear and easy as possible. No hassle, no confusion.
This is how it works
1. Register your shipment
Fill in the registration form or email dominofoundationdr@gmail.com. Reserve in time: the container fills up faster than you might think.
2. Pack your box
Use a jumbo box of 240 liters (50 × 50 × 96 cm). You can also order the boxes from us for € 15 each, excluding delivery. For other sizes or items besides boxes, please contact us first.
3. We collect your box
During the collection period, we will pick up the box for free in the Randstad area. Do you live outside this area? Contact us for options and costs.
4. Track your shipment
Through our social media, we share an update a few times a week about the location of the container. On average, shipping takes 4 to 6 weeks.
5. Delivery in the Dominican Republic
In Santo Domingo we offer free home delivery. For other locations, we will look at the possibilities together.

We ship several times a year. Regular shipments are delivered before (Dominican) Mother's Day and before Christmas. Want to know when the next container will be shipped? Follow us on social media!
