If UR fulltime 24/7/12 residents of BCS, as we are in Mulege, how do you get UR mail down?
I'm especially interested to hear from the folks between Santa Rosalia and Loreto on how your mail gets to you.
We had a guy in Santa Rosalia who called himself "CostcoLarry" because for over a year he drove up 2X/month to the San Diego Costco with your wish
list. He brought back what you wanted, as well as anything from Home Depot/Sears/etc. And he brought back my mail from a box near Costco. Now, I
hear due to health issues, he is dropping out of the routine. DANG- no more mail/frozen turkeys/paper goods etc. It was a good deal...he added about
10% to the goods and it was a 70 peso fee for the mail brought back. Appears to be all gone now.
Sooooo...how do you do it as a fulltimer here?

Th Mexican Postal Service
delivers it to my door.......9 years, no major problems. Just allow (as they say) 3 to 4 weeks delivery.

Tucker is right. We have been living in Loreto for 4 years, we have a P.O. box there but they usually just bring it to our door. It can take 3-4
weeks but normally it is closer to 2.
For urgent mail or packages have someone put it on the bus in TJ and you will get it in 24 hours.

Direct Express
works great! I have been using them since December.
Inexpensive, reliable, and much faster than Mexican mail. Locations throughout BCS including Loreto and Mulege.

In Loreto, I just use a P.O. box and have gotten all my mail, (as far as I know).
Three weeks seems to be the normal transit time, no matter the source.
