Hola,

Sorry if this topic has been discussed before!

I moved to Costa Rica one year ago but have maintained a US mailing address--my daughter's address.  My daughter will be moving soon and I want to establish some sort of service whereby a company can set up a PO Box or some other address to which mail can be delivered, and then the service can forward the mail to me in Guanacaste (playas del coco, probably).

Can anyone recommend a RELIABLE company that offers this type of service to Costa Rica.  I believe there are several companies that offer this but from what I can tell some of them are not very good.

Any assistance is GREATLY appreciated.

Jay

Hola Jay,

I have used Aerocasillas for years as do many expats.  You will be given a Miami address that is specific to you and they then forward the mail to their office nearest to your location.  They'll send you an email when you receive mail.

They charge about $1.50 per envelope.  The nice thing about their service is if you go to pick something up, see that it's not something you want, you can refuse it at no cost. 

Their web address is:  http://aeropost.com/site/en.  It's a strange website.  They've changed it to try and get more people to ship products with them so it looks like their selling crap rather than a service.  Shipping packages through them is efficient and reliable but they are one of the most expensive I've ever used for packages.  Only made that mistake once.  I only use them for the U.S. address and mail that I want to make sure that I receive.

Thank you Dave.

Another company recommended is USGlobalMail.  Have you heard anything about them?
