I swear I read a while back that the Mexican Postal Service had contracted with the US Postal Service to help them "improve". It is fun to look at
all the postmarks on the Telnor bill. TJ, Ensenada, Maneadero, Punta Banda...well, there's one quick improvement: One postmark from the city it's
mailed from and it's on its way. Well, I know those photos didn't arrive today because it looks like everyone took tomorrow's holiday (Constitution
Day) today for a 3 day weekend. |
I remember that, too.
I have had absolutely zero complaints about the USPS in my years.
About 10 years ago, I suspected someone within my local post office was delaying my copies of Western Outdoor News as I was always getting it later
than the paper said was normal.
After everyone on some of the fishing boards noticed that their deliveries were often as much as 5-6 days late, it became clear that the problem was
with WON.

Nope, indeed the pictures haven't arrived yet. My friend, who is Mexican and from Puebla, is quite astounded that it could take them that long just
to get to Ensenada. He said, "They could walk them down here in less time!"
At any rate, he's been sent off for training in Mexico City and won't be back for a couple weeks, so hopefully they'll be waiting for him when he
arrives!

Anyone want to split a San Ysidro to San Lucas Mail box? Not cheap...well maybe.
Thinking it would get checked more often with more people going to Cabo. Now I need to find out how to set one up...sure as hell hope I do not need to
go to San Ysidro

Al,
There is a service in CSL that uses stateside PO Boxes in Mexicali. You use that as your address and then they courrier the mail to the mail box
store in Cabo.
There is a monthly charge for the service (private company).
They usually have an ad in the Gringo Gazette.
I have my mail sent to friends in the states and they scan and send the mail as an e-mail attachment.
