How about presription meds, too?
We used to use MBE, but they quit doing meds. That would be very good for us and probably many others as well. We live in Los Barriles, BCS.

I wanted to give you all an update.
We will be offering mail service very soon!
We have been working out the details and still have some paperwork to finish, but it won't take much longer.
I think anyone needing their US mail forwarded here to Baja will be very happy with the new service and the price we will be able to offer it for.
We will be handling packages as well.
Bajadave1, unfortunately medications and cosmetics require special permits that we do not have available at this time (and we may never) but we are
looking into it and will stay on it.
I believe we will be up and ready next month, so watch for the announcement.
We are still looking for comments and suggestions.
Thanks
Mari

Okay...here's a new one to me........ I must ask.
Why are cosmetics to require special permits? Are are talking lipstick and blush...and such?
Old people are like the old cars, made of some tough stuff. May show a little rust, but good as gold on the inside.

Mexican Aduana -- an anecdote:
acquaintance with a legal Mexican business license imported business-related items including books and first-aid kits. After 3 weeks and many phone
calls, the shipment was located in Guadalajara. A week and many phone calls later it was determined all was held up because the first-aid kits
contained a few tiny little packets of isopropyl alcohol, completely sealed mind you. Apparently, this derailed the whole lot. It took a month of
negotiations for them to agree to discard the questionable items and send the rest!!
I think this new mail/package service will be a great, great help down here, and I'm looking forward to using it regularly. Thanks.

Mexican Customs require a permit from the Health Department in order to import this types of articles. The company that we work with does not have it
and does not plan to get it. We are looking into other options.

you do relize...
every package the Mexican Aduana is supposed to open
let's say an ebay item is shipped
what are your plans to pay the customs fee
when it crosses
will you take it back
pay the fee in advance for the customer
how would you collect if the tax is higher
than the customer wants to pay
risky business
you won't know the contents
aren't you worried what people are shipping
the BEST way to ship drugs in the USA is by USPS
did you know that
drugs are shipped EVERYDAY
the post office cant open 1st class mail
unless they have a search warrant
(there are exceptions for lower class mail)
Mexican Aduana is supposed to open it all too
"just in case"
what are your plans if the worst happens
again risky business

Yes, every package is inspected by the company we work with and reported to the Aduanas office.
We will check into USED items.
As far as new items go...each item needs to be accompanied by some sort of receipt. (some of our ordered items are missing a receipt or paperwork and
we are notified and just provide the online order form or webpage, we never had a real problem with this) We can provide an estimated import tax and
shipping before you purchase. If you proceed with the purchase, and once it is received at your mail address (assigned by us) in the US, it will be
processed and we will notify you of the actual cost so that you can pay for the shipping and taxes. If you are unhappy with the tax or shipping cost
you may have it returned to place of purchase or sent to a friend in the US, for a nominal fee.
Soon we will post or send everyone interested a list of permitted items and Aduanas tax rates.
As far as what is sent to someone, it is inspected in the US and any issues will be the problem of the sender or recipient. My advise to anyone
interested in importing drugs would be "Just say no!"
The entire system is run by professional companies and must meet all legal requirements...there is no "cheating" or "hiding" things. This is 100%
above board. It is safe, secure and reliable. We have been using this service for more than 3 years for mail and packages, including computers, tools,
DVD and many other items and thus far not a single issue other than one time we ordered several pairs of $5 sandals for the girls. The tax, because
they were made in China, was an unbelievable 533%. We were notified, refused the importation and had them sent to a friend in the US for a small fee.
