Why don't you ask Amazon for us??

Quote from Bajaguy " | Quote: Originally posted by bajaguy | Neighbors shipping from Amazon US to Ensenada was free, package went to Mexico City first then delivered to his house in Ensenada, he tracked it all

It may be true that you can order from Amazon.us and not incur any shipping or customs costs. I do not know about Baja California, only Sur. On the
Amazon.us site the $55 dollar hard drive was $99 delivered ($40 duty + $4 shipping) It was $60 total from Amazon.mx. The variables here are
endless. I suggest you try both sites for the best price. The only constant here for us was the item. They were identical.

Does anyone know if there is a shipping center or business in San Jose del Cabo or Cabo San Lucas that could receive Amazon packages for me? There's
no way a delivery person would ever find my house.

I'm going to suggest you may be wrong. Delivery companies only do one thing - deliver. I'm sure they are used to funky addresses. That's why they
also want your phone number. Another suggestion may be to deliver to the tienda/restaurant ?? down the street.

I think there is still a mailboxes ect in San Jose in the scotiabank plaza on the carretera, I've heard some places will accept items and charge a set
fee per item received.
Also, when you order from Amazon in the USA you are normally charged a state tax even if it's going straight to importation, I tried to tell them if
it's going straight to exportation that I am not required to pay any state sales taxes, they said they understood and requested I send a copy of the
importation receipt I receive down here and they would credit my account with the states taxes they collected, but they want that for every item,
normally not worth my time for small orders, they would not register my purchases or account as sales for exportation only as many companies will, you
just fill out a form normally and you are not charged state taxes anymore.
So as an example, one exporter in San Diego charges 25% for all items delivered where I live without a legal factura, which if you add CA sales tax
it's then over 33%? If you need a legal factura you must notify the importer and different rules are followed, the same shipment then is usually 36%
with a legal factura, and add another 8%+ for the USA state sales tax so your over 44% unless you send a request for a reimbursement of the state tax
you paid Amazon, but only with a legal factura you can write it off on your Mexican taxes usually.
As far as the person who received a $55usd hard drive and was charged $40 shipping that comes out to over 72% in fees and taxes for shipping and I
could only guess it should include a legal factura.
i set up a different Amazon mx account yesterday using my Mexican peso credit card because the credit card exchange rates are not usually very good
from my experiences, and I would prefer to keep it separate from my usa account, I will need to speak with my accountant as it looked to me like if
you want legal facturas you must give them other tax information.
I also set up a separate uber account here using my Mexican credit card and works great when I need to go to mainland.
