Can't Post |

We will be up for renewal soon and want to share our box in order to cut costs. The location is Riberas office.

We plan to move to Ajijic the beginning of of April, do you still have your MBE box available for sharing? If so, what are the costs involved? Also, where is Riberas office, I can't quite place it in my mind. Thanks 12oaks

The cost for the box is $80.00 us for 11 months. If you sign on and pay when you get here...then I will let you use the box until July of 2013. Riberas is between Ajijic and Chapala. The MBE office is actually only one block for the SuperLake Market.

If you plan on getting a lot of mail and or magazines then this won't work for our group because there are 4 of us in the box now. A private box like ours goes at $395.00 a year in US funds. If you need more info you write direct to me at habachtf@prodigy.net.mx

Hi Fred,

Donna and I will be sharing a mail box with you and others. We are in the process of setting the Laredo, TX address as our forwarding address and have two questions,

First: for credit cards, etc. Is this system secure enough to allow credit cards to be sent through it ?

Second : does the mail go both ways ? i.e. from the states through Laredo and from Mexico through Laredo and back to the states ?

Thanks,

Fred & Donna

We always receive credit cards with no problem...the mail is delivered to MBE in Laredo by the US Postal system and shipped to the office in Mexico in sealed mail bags...it does not go thru the Mexican Postal Service. When you send mail back to the USA...MBE charges an excessive 40 pesos to ship it north. I do not use their return service because of the cost. When you get here I can advise you of several less expensive methods to send your mail back to the USA.
