thought we give you a quick update.
It is unbelievable that the first oilpump we ordered from a shop in L.A. is still not here??!! the parcel was sent with USPS on Dec 24 and is still at customs in Mexico City (last scan from January 9 but it does not move). If the garage refuses to accept this package will it be sent back to the shop in L.A.?

luckily we ordered another one (original part) from Switzerland (no other oil pumps available in Mexico or USA). Was shipped with DHL Express. it took 2 days from Switzerland to Mexico, then stayed over the weekend at customs and arrived Tuesday morning in La Paz. Although they confirmed to deliver here on Wednesday, it finally arrived yesterday afternoon. So total 10 days. Now busy putting everything together and we hope to be on the road tomorrow.

we are wondering how it works with the taxes that we had to pay. Do we get it back as soon as we leave Mexico?
