Sending a package to Porto Alegre

Oi gente,


I need some advice.  How can I send a package weighing around 10 kilos from Sao Paulo to Porto Alegre?  Can I, as a foreigner without a CPF, use the post office?  Or, what about by bus or by shipping companies?  Thanks for your suggestions! 


Obrigado!

You do not need the CPF for using the Brazilian Postal Service.


But I much doubt it will be there in time, or ever to arrive.   They are recruiting volunteers to help them sort packages at their logistic center.


Give it a try.

Thank you for your response!  It looks like I just might have to take a chance....and also insure my package!
