Where to receive mail in Cabo???


Where can a tourist for 3 months have one piece of mail sent to in Cabo reliably? Suggestions?

DHL, but it will be relatively expensive.

We receive our US mail at Mail Boxes Etc. It requires that you have a box here in San Jose, but your mail is addressed to a box in San Ysidro. There is one delivery per week. I believe that the cost is about $40/month for a private party box,
I should have a card here somewhere. Will fill in the blanks when I find it.

If you are staying in Cabo somewhere for the 3 months, or in one place only for a short time (about a week), you can get your mail via FedEx, DHL, or UPS, delivered directly to your address.

When I was in Cabo (Vagabundo's RV Resort), FedEx brought it right to the front desk. It usually took about 4 days from Washington State to Cabo.

How much did they charge? Last time I used DHL via Mail Boxes in San Jose it was kinda spendy. And that was only for a large envelope of papers. Don't get me wrong, it was worth it considering the importance of the papers. But for regular mail it might get expensive.

Don't remember the exact cost, but it was the standard rate for 2nd day Delivery to Mexico. It was 2 weeks worth of mail that I had my mail service forward to me.

FedEx told me upfront that you could add 1 day for customs clearance and 1 day because of the flight schedules into Cabo.

The fastest a regular letter made it to Mulege with regular mail for me has been 18 days received in Mulege post office from San Diego. Longest has been 26 days.
