Anyone have problems lately getting a TIP for thier boat?

After 2 or 3 attempts using Vagabundos del Mar trying to get a TIP for my boat, it has completely failed. Seems like for whatever reason Banjercito has not replied or charged my credit card. The Vagabundos said they sent it 3 times and still nothing.
It has been over 4 or 5 weeks since trying to start the process and still nothing, nada.
Any suggestions?

By the way, the Vagbundos issued a fast refund for there fees.

You might email or call Discover Baja Travel Club and ask them if they have had any issue problems?

Just go to La Paz with all your documents and it will only take you 30 minutes to get it handled. Plus you can do some shopping while in La Paz.. We were told that you can't do it on line, if your boat is already in Mexico anyways..

Agree with fish, the on line process is supposed to be done before you enter Mexico with the boat. They actually FedEx the completed paperwork to your US address. The other way is to go to La Paz, take pictures of the boat showing registration numbers, engine numbers and your US registration papers and you are in and out in 30 minutes. Plus you get to have dinner at Tres Virgines.

Before finding out how easy it would of been in La Paz I went on line with Banjercito yesterday and paid the approx. $55 and now waiting for them to send me the application.

It sure would of been easier to go to La Paz but it would of been more costly as I would do some shopping and buy things I have lived without my whole life but would of bought anyway!

If you end up going to La Paz be sure to have copies of all your paperwork, including passport and MX immigration document for them. It might keep you from having to go back to town and find a printer, you can't depend on them to make copies for you.
