I am new to Ecuador (only 2 months!) and have a friend in the States who wants to send me a package here. The problem is that where I am living I do not have a reliable address to receive mail. A local friend suggested that she could send the box to Mariscal Sucre, but I am slightly hesitant since that airport is no longer in use, and I'm just not used to having a package sent to a random address (or lack of address, since my friend said just to put "Mariscal Sucre Airport, Quito, Ecuador" on the shipping label!!!) without someone there to pick it up asap.
So I'm wondering if anyone has had much experience receiving mail from out of the country? Where did you send it? Is the old airport the best way to go? ANY thoughts or advice will be much appreciated. Thank you!!
