For all of us Nomads too lazy to drive to the border for the items we need and can't find here.
I have been using this new service provided by Ebay for importations into Mexico and have imported several packages without any complications.
The requirements are:
Need to have your Ebay account linked to Estafeta. The instructions are provided at estafetamembers.com . May be a little difficult
for the Spanish challenged.

Establish an account with Estafeta located in Laredo, Tx

PayPal for payment.

Do you pick up your delivery at an Estafeta office ?
The packages are delivered to my address. During
registration with Estafeta requires your physical address. I'm sure you could ask your local Estafeta office to hold your packages "Ocurre" (for
pickup)oladulce - 10-4-2015 at 06:56 AM

Thank you CaboSur. It was a novelty the first few years, but becomes a hindrance to live remotely where the dirt trails have no names. "Ocurre" is a
handy word to know.
I'd forgotten a couple yrs ago we'd made arrangements for a new keyboard delivery and it came via Estafeta to the office in Cd Constitución. We didn't
get the best impression at that time- off on a side street, no sign, dark, dingy, one room with boxes strewn about, and a surly lady who claimed our
package wasn't there even though she never left her chair to check. Luckily we persisted and found the box at the bottom of a pile. After that
experience I didn't consider using Estefeta as a future delivery option. But a couple things I've learned living here; things can change dramatically
and the more options you have the easier life can be. Thanks for the tip.
