We have owned on the island for 11 years. It will take you a while to open a bank account and transfer funds. Think months, not weeks.

Service from all banks seems to be slow. They may not respond for days or longer. They do not return calls. Once you have an account you can use their app or online banking.

You could also use a US credit card to pay but normally will pay a fee up to 5% to use it. You will want a local bank account in the long run.

Ship to Miami and use a freight forwarder. Tropical Shipping has a good reputation and I have used them for what seem to be reasonable fees.
