17. It looks like most U.S. appliances are compliant with most Costa Rica outlets

U.S./Costa Rica outlets information:

I know that shipping goes by weight, but I was thinking that it would be less expensive to have already owned small compliant appliances shipped with extra adapters.

I also looked to see if Amazon delivers in Costa Rica and for the most part depending on particular items it does but there's additional taxes and shipping costs.
