regular mexican national postal service really should not ever be relied upon. everything of value, documents included, shipped within and into mexico is done with a delivery service of some sort. my family in mexico sends whatever can not be sent by email by a delivery service of some type. in town, people use drivers to do business to get things from one place to another, not ever by mail.


That�s the reputation that the Mexican Postal Service has, but my experience suggests that it is either more rumour than fact, or that it has recently been improving. In 10 years, I�ve had only one sent letter lost, and no received packages from abroad lost (touch wood). Meanwhile, private couriers have more than once randomly delivered to my door letters addressed to strangers at other addresses.

I agree with Notamiss. The local post office has worked fine for me for nearly 9 years. Mail is arrives from Canada in approximately a week or maybe 10 days. On the other hand, someone sent something important requiring a signature, via DHL or FedEX, and it was left with a neighbor we had never met. We didn't get it until a day or two later. That was cause for concern.

I also agree with what Samantha and Notamiss have to say about the national postal service. Starting with our arrival when we mailed 13 boxes of books and ALL arrived safely, I haven't had a problem with the mail in the last two years.

I don't get things as fast as Samantha, my letters and boxes from my parents in the US generally take about 3 weeks to arrive. Nothing has taken more than a month Very Happy

Also people received the December christmas cards I mailed,... in early February.

I generally don't mail super-valuable items or time sensitive items by the regular mail, but I probably wouldn't do that in the US either. And, I'm not saying that things couldn't go wrong, but in my experience (aside from the slowness) they have not.

No, not in that kind of rush. I appreciate your efforts though. Wink
