Shipping from Jackson,Michigan USA via either FedEx or USPS

for packaging ,either styrophone peanuts or bubble wrap.




All total ..about $15-25 worth of stuff

*pant,pant,pant takes drink of tea*

I can't see any problem with the stuff your sending, just don't expect the chocolates to get there.

Someone please explain this to me

What is wrong with sending chocolate to the land where it was birthed?

For the duck and the t-shirt, check the country where both were manufactured. Last year a friend tried to ship my boss some used hiking pants that were made in China, and was informed there was a 500% duty on Chinese-made goods shipped into the country.

I would use FedEx if the stuff is important, that way if it gets held up in customs at least you know what is going on, and at least you have a tracking number. It aint gonna be cheap tho.

The T-Shirt made in Peru
Daffy made in Jackson,Michigan by my mother

I would use DHL. Much better than UPS outside of the USA. You could get lucky and it will enter sans duty. You had better be prepared for a big shipping bill. Freight in Mexico is moy caro. Good luck.

I did FedEx for one gift and it was $45

Hmmm, I'll contact DHL for their local office see what I can find out price wise..

By the way, I dont mean to ask stupid questions but I am curious at something, how good is the postal service there letter wise?

Re:Postal service: It all depends on where you live. We dont use it because everything goes to Mexico City first. Too slow. But I do know people who swear by the service. I do get registered mail from my Mexican bank once in a while and the postman comes on his motorcycle right to the house.
