Packages are one of our biggest downers in Mexico. Some people use the Mexican mail, but postage is extremely high and there is some pilferage.

Magazines in clear plastic envelopes are fine, regardless of size or weight. The big N.Y. Times and Chicago Tribune are OK unpackaged. We are sorry that there is not a good reasonably priced way to ship packages and packets into Mexico This is one of the fees we pay for our fabulous weather.  REFERRING A FRIEND Please refer a friend to HANDY MAIL.
