Sending documents by bus

DianaT - 4-6-2008 at 08:40 AM

A few simple questions---some just verifying information.

1. Is it better to put the documents in a box or will a large envelope stay intact?

2. Has anyone had a problem with handing over a package the day before the bus goes?

3. Once you give ABC your package, they give you a number that you give to the person on the other end. Correct????

Thanks
Diane

Very interesting. I didn't know they offered this service. I'm staying tuned for some enlightening answeres.

You can send a box or an envelope, they just charge you according to size.
When you drop the package off it will go on the next bus to whatever destination you indicate. There is a tracking number for the person at the other end of the line to claim the package. I have used the bus numerous times without incident.

Oh my....What will happen when the cartels hear of this?

Thanks Julie. So you have had no problem with using envelopes? We will be using an 8 x 10 envelope and we were just concerned about how it would be handled---don't want it ripped.

We send stuff through Baja-Pac...the mail/bus service...they put it in one of their fancy envelopes and give you a tracking number...works great.

Didn't know they put it in another fancy envelope---good.

Is it the ABC terminal in Vizcaino or the other one?

Thanks

Guess my question was not clear. In Vizcaino the ABC terminal is on the main highway, but there is the other terminal on the road leading out toward BA.

Just wondered if they have the Baja Pac at both.

Thanks
