Do not ship anything to South America!
Hey guys, I am in Cuenca, Ecuador right now waiting on a package that will probably never arrive. A week after my parents shipped it US Air Mail I talked to an American woman who owns a used bookstore here. She informed me that 5 of her last 6 US Air Mail packages have not arrived since November!
Salvador warned me about shipping things to South America when I stayed with him at his house in Nicaragua. Unfortunately, I neglected his advice thinking a month would be enough time.
The postal workers are probably corrupt here! They have to open every package to evaluate the cost of the contents and than decide whether to charge you a hefty tax or sell off the contents to their friends.
