So, how's the mail situation in Belize? We depend on rental property income that cannot get direct deposited.  Are there differences in speed or efficiency from area to area?  Thanks in advance!

It's slow! Allow three weeks from UK to Dangriga.
However, I received a couple of letters just addressed to my name, Dangriga, Belize. The people in the post office took the trouble to look up my box number and put the letters in the correct place. Same with one addressed to us at our lot number, where there are no deliveries, and again they went to the trouble of looking up the box number. Impressive?

That's cool. I guess we will continue to receive checks albeit 3 weeks late. Hehe
