Mexico pero vivo en San Antonio, Texas. U.S.A. es un gran pais pero se vive muy encerrado en los suburbios , la verdad que me encanta ver la vida que hay en las calles , como este personaje el cartero que anda en su motito por la banqueta, ya me imagino el ruido de la moto y lo orgulloso de que le tomaran una foto. La verdad que ganas de vivir ahi....tal vez en un futuro... Translation (our best shot....feel free to correct us!): I was in Yucatan in July 2008 and I love it. I am from Monterrey, Mexico but I live in San Antonio, TX. The US is a great country but I live very shut away in the suburbs. The truth is I love to see street life, like your mail man who rides his little motorcycle up on the sidewalk. I can imagine the sound of the motor and the pride he had when getting his foto taken. The truth that one gains by living there... maybe in the future... Yo estuve en Yucatan en julio 2008 y me encanto, soy de Monterrey. Mexico pero vivo en San Antonio, Texas.

The costs are going to be more if you are shipping to the States, because you will be paying international rates. Also, I don't know what you are shipping, but there is Customs to deal with (called Aduana). They have some strange rules. You can't ship used clothing into Mexico, nor any sort of chemicals, medication or candy. There are some rules about what you can or can't ship out as well. It's best to check with someone like Fedex. They know what all the rules are and will share them with you. Hi Faith,

My business involves lots of packages being mailed and recieved. I'd definitely use fedex. Is the cost of shipping things with these private companies through the roof because of the lack of reliability? Or comparable with shipping it from where I'm at in California? I have a question.

These were all thoughts-- inklings, really-- about the mail 'system' (as it were) that have been chirping around in my head for a while now. I'm glad to hear it said out loud and with some authority. Yes, we in the US suffer from the assumption that everyone has a "culture of mail". Gracias. Thank you– again… seems I’m always thanking you for another informative post-ing.
