Does anyone have experience with things being shipped to them, simply to their city�s post office?

I believe there�s a French term for it, Poste R-----, but I can�t remember the full name. Is it really as easy as your name, the city, its code, and this magic phrase, written on the package? If so, is there a period of time in which you need to retrieve your package?

Thanks.

Its called Poste Restante, but I personally wouldn't even try to use it in Latin America. I think there's a fairly high likelihood it wouldn't ever get to you.

Cheers,

try "entrega general " instead. Gen. Delivery in other words.
The French term, as expected, is used in Europe.
Good luck!
