Amazon.mx (A test)
Tried Amazon.mx as sort of a test. In our case the price difference between Amazon.us and Amazon.mx was 18% which would be IVA. In our case the
product was a US product so that makes sense. The shipping was free and was to be delivered by Fed Ex next Monday. (four day delivery estimate) DHL
delivered it late last night. Go figure. I recommend using Amazon.mx in the future. Because there is no handling or shipping charge it's a much
better deal than using an importer in TJ as we have done in the past.

I've been using Amazon.com.mx for the last year.
It's great.

A neighbor here in Ensenada used Amazon Prime (US). Had order delivered by DHL in 4 days to his door. Tracked package on it's voyage.

I'll have to try it one day. I live in a town a little smaller than yours, further away from a large city, with no postal service or other
delivery (other than Coppel, haha).

Do your bills (telephone, sat. tv) go to the telegraph office? I'm pretty sure they do in La Bocana. We all have the same address. ha ha. Kind of like
having something sent to "general delivery" in the states.

Yes they do. Then we sort through looking to see who has mail....

Has anyone used that service and had anything shipped to Loreto? Do they send it to your house even though it is a pretty funky address?

I bought two ceiling fans from Amazon.US, $60 delivery charge (not bad)

Somebody did sign for it.......got full reimbursement from Amazon.
Might will try Amazon.MX some day.....

What is the address on your phone bill?
I think the ones in LB all are #25 calle caracol, and that gets them to the telegraph office.

Given a detailed accurate description they should deliver anywhere in Baja. (eg. carretera blanco km. 111, casa de ladrillo, mano derecha) If you
live under a rock have them deliver it to the nearest neighbor. The reason to use .mx is that most stuff ships for free. You cannot use your prime
US account to deliver for free to Mexico. The shipment also may get "hung up" at the border. (Aduana)

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
the way. IVA was added to the total bill, no "duty" was charged.

I would think that all the address are the same, only the names on the envelopes are different.
Order something cheap, a spark plug, see if it ever shows up.
I have no phone or tv either.

I understand the part about paying 16% IVA, but when I searched some different items on the Amazon mx site I found several with a "importation"
highlighted, does anybody know what their importation rate is? And if it's a set rate or varies due to type of product or where it was manufactured?
