I need to order a new timing belt for my golf cart and need someone in the US to receive it via UPS or US Mail and bring it to me at Fisher's Camp on
Hwy. 1 on your way south at the turnoff to Punta Abreojos. if you are traveling through soon. Please let me know if you can do this and what your
address is. My golf cart is not operational until I receive this part. Thank you.

you do know a gates or dayco belt will work...
are you sure a local parts store cant find a replacement unit available locally?
sometimes you don't need to go to the golf store to get parts

We have an EZGo 2001 and I contacted Taller in Mulege who had worked on my golf cart before I bought it according to Larry, the former owner. Taller
was trying to locate a source for the timing belt. He has not been able to do so. However, I will check the auto parts store in Santa Rosalia in two
weeks when I return to Mulege to check my home and do some banking. Thanks for the info and I will give it a try. If not, I hope someone will
respond to my post and be able to help.

Hi Sally! I sure hope the part can be brought down soon.
willyAirstream - 8-7-2016 at 08:13 AM
You can have it shipped to ACV.com and they will deliver it for 5 to 10 bucks. The auto parts store in Santa Rosalia is Santa Fe Auto parts. 615 152
1686, ask for Saul if you need an english speaking person.

Away from the subject at hand..........Auto Zone is opening another location in Ensenada. That'll be at least two, for now. Pretty soon they'll be
everywhere. In some cases they have half day service from San Diego....most often one day for items not kept in local inventory.

Thanks, Everyone, you've been very helpful. We will call Santa Fe Auto Parts tomorrow and talk to Saul. Blanca, hope to see you again soon! Thanks
for the tip!

Interesting question about mail delivery to Baja.
Here in San Felipe we get overnight parts and mail via a courier. Always overnight from Mexicali for parts and maybe two days from the states for
parts. Daily delivery of mail from the courier.
Do people further south have available such a service?
bajabuddha - 8-7-2016 at 04:36 PM
That's a simple answer Paul, San Flip is not really Baja, but Little Sandy Eggo. There's 500 miles of ....... anything BUT people south of you.
Couriers? You mean Carrier Pigeons? I think the U.S. should invade and annex from Hwy 3 (including LSE) north and get it over with. 
BajaBlanca - 8-7-2016 at 04:37 PM
I never thought we did, however, when we first arrived here we had a delivery made right to our front door. We don't even have a number on our
house!
if someone can drop an item off to the bus depot in TJ or elsewhere on the line, there is always the BAJAPACK company.
Sally, there is a mechanic in Vizcaino who can probably order the part for you. We will be there next week and can ask.

Gracias to everyone! In our little Anglo community of Oasis in Mulege, we depend on each other to bring things to and from the U.S. Right now,
things are very quiet with mostly all residents of Oasis either in the US, Canada or like us, on the Pacific coast of Baja. This due to the heat and
humidity in Mulege during the summer and also because of the danger of hurricanes. We all put our belongings and furniture in storage and go
elsewhere so at least we don't lose our contents, only suffer damage to our homes in case of hurricanes. Most of us Anglos do not return to Oasis Rio
Baja in Mulege until October. So, with mail delivery at least six weeks from the US and no UPS, if some part is needed, it is difficult to get. Baja
Pac does deliver in some cases but most US companies do not use them as far as we know.

Things are changing in Mulege. DHL and UPS now deliver here, ( posible Fed EX) sometimes direct sometimes via RAM delivery. From the usa to Mexico
City to La Paz, usually 3 days, then usually 3 more days from LP to Mulege.
DENNIS - 8-8-2016 at 06:51 AM
We see this company in Ensenada as well:

I know that friends of ours in Mulege ordered dog beds from the US and the last they heard, the beds were in Mexico City. They couldn't figure it
out. Now I understand.

Sometimes you have to leave your little Anglo community of Oasis in Mulege,
and smell the big wide world. Great, you were finally successful, and found the
timing belt not even a hour drive away.....
Congratulation!

And what a wonderful world it is to explore! We are spending the summer in Punta Abreojos with frequent trips across the salt flats to La Bocana. In
a couple of weeks we plan to explore Bahia Asuncion, another lovely coastal town in Baja. I've done many things in my long life, more than most, and
each experience has not only been a delight but has gained me many, many amigos throughout the world. Thanks for your comments.
