Fed Ex - DHL?? Courier Service?

[Samantha]

Hello Fellow Ningbats!,

I have been in Boquete 11 years, and am slightly ashamed that I dont know this!!   I need to receive a document FAST!!   I have airbox express, but thats not fast enough!!

Is there a way to receive packages from Fed Ex or DHL to be delivered to Boquete or David?

Thanks

Samantha

we used DHL via Mailboxes ETC here in Boquete (they will tell you how to set this up - very easy) for important papers that needed to be received immediately - 4 days is the fastest

if I recall - DHL was faster than FedEx in terms of getting to Boquete & it is what MBE suggested

the cost to send a letter / few pieces of paper from the US was $85 - 88

hope this helps

I think you are correct with the MBE/DHL connect. One point I take into consideration is the insurance charged on the documents, this can run as high as 20%. I never take the insurance on documents, how can you insure a document? Also remember the insurance is a opt out thing, automatic if you do not say anything.....

Thanks so much for your replies!  I will go to MBE and speak with Velkys

From my experience the quickest and most reliable way is most definetely DHL. Have the doc sent to the DHL office in David in your name and then pick it up there. You could have it sent to the DHL office in Boquete but that means another day. DHL isn't cheap but it gets done.

The office number in David is 774-1000. The address is....Edificio Garrido en la Planta Baja, Ave. Domingo Díaz al lado del Banco HSBC, Local 1 - 3, Corregimient: David / District: David / Province: Chiriquí.
