Getting Boxes of Books etc. to Oaxaca?

Can't Post | Private Reply

I'm driving to Oaxaca in a fairly small car... I'll be able to bring basic clothes and my two cats... but I have about 8 boxes of office-type stuff and linens that I need to get there some other way....
Seems too small for hiring a mover but too large for mail....
all suggestions welcome!!
Many thanks,
Cynthia

You can ship them with Estafeta, Mexico's version of UPS, or talk to one of the Bus companies.

I do not know where you sending from but from Guadalajara ship via Multipack on La Paz or go to the airport at the freight termila. you can ship from there too. My friends from Oaxaca used to use Estafeta but they switch to the airport after rugs started missing from their package. We use Multipack for Chiapas and Oaxaca as they carry insurrance on packages , are reliable and cheap. The addition of 3 dimensions cannot be more than 2.40m. On their site they show packages no larger than 80cmx80x80 but accept anything under 2.40m.
