Thanks Mariz. I'll be in touch when it's time to receive new bank cards, US car registration tags and other time-sensitive US mail. $200 pesos seems
very reasonable to have this forwarded mail sent to my local Estafeta office.
Good luck with your business.

Hi, Mariz.
First, congratulations and best wishes for success in your new business venture.
You're addressing an area that is of concern to many folks down here: how to get our mail 'n stuff.
Right off the top, got a question: Have you a list of the Estafeta offices in Baja Sur and Norte?
I did a Search on Nomad and looked at the company website and couldn't find.
I'm thinking their location would be a huge factor for folks who live out in the boonies of Baja.
Thanks and again, sending you Baja Best Wishes!

Thank you oladulce and we look forward to hearing from you!
Mulegena,
We have the Estafeta office link in the FAQ. It's the last question on the page. Find it Here
There is an office in Mulege that is not listed on their site.
Thank you

@ Mulegena, if I understand correctly - your mail gets sent to LORETO and then they can ship it probably via bajapack to any bajapack location which
is basically anywhere where the bus stops: guerrero negro, vizcaino, cabo, etc.

Actually it is all handled through Estafeta. We feel this is the safest and most efficient method. It allows us to insure and track operations.
Estafeta operates just like Fedex in the States.
Estafeta serves most areas with home delivery, some in less populated areas will probably have to pick up their mail at the nearest office.

Got That, Mariz. Great!
So for the remote villages of the Pacific central coast, there's an agent in Vizcaino and in Guerrero Negro.
Another question, Mariz. The agent will hold our mail/packages for how long, please? I ask because, as they say "Its a long way to Tupareri". In
other words, making the trip to either location is still a looong waay.
That being said, I really think this is a great plan!

David K,
We can serve all 1000 miles! There are different rates depending on location.
Mulegena,
Let me check with Estafeta to be sure, but, I think they will hold it a week or so.
If for some reason you were not available to get your mail we will hold it here (Loreto) until you're ready for it.

It Would be Great if This is a Legtimate Service
But the website is all bells and whistles with no details.
What are the details and back up to your claim to serve "All of Baja, 1000 Miles"?
Who is your guarantor?
Gee, it must be annoying when someone asks questions about unverified, exaggerated declarations.

Thank you woody!
Gypsy Jan,
I hope the website spells out how our operation works. If it is not clear to you, I will be happy to try to answer any questions you may have.
We work with Estafeta (Mexican version of Fed Ex), they serve the entire peninsula, therefor we are able to. It's really not rocket science, we have
put a plan together that gets it done and we have been using it for 4+ years without an issue. Estafeta issues tracking numbers and we can provide
insurance for packages also.
All item are professionally handled by experienced companies. We have lived in Loreto for 5 years and my husband has a carpentry business here. We
developed this out of personal necessity. After talking with friends and the members here that had the same needs, we decided to do the work needed to
make it into a business that could serve others as well.
We can provide references of other locals we have worked with.
I can give you this guarantee, if we don't do this extremely well we won't have any clients and all our hard work would be for nothing.
I understand some skepticism, I will do my best to earn your trust.
Thank you

I can personally recommend Chris and Mari and their mail service. Chris has tons of experience in importing stuff from the U.S. He, incidentially,
also is the owner of Baja Woodworking in Loreto and has done some really great work for me. First rate and always shows up on time (nice change of
pace in Baja). If you have any concerns about using him feel free to contact me through this site. Sharky

In order to avoid confusion and issues with exchange rates we have converted prices to US dollars.
Thank you.
