You can send stuff Fed-Ex and it will get to Canada in one piece. There is a small shipping store on 10th and 10th (I think).

Do NOT send anything that has any value, monetary or emotional, with Mexican mail. Trust me. Only use FedEx, DHL or similar.

I mailed a parcel to a friend one month before christmas and he has yet to receive it! FedEx was waaay too expensive and so I took a chance. I'd say...take it with you on the plane.

Best Option - Shlep it home with you

Second Best Option - FedEx or other courier

Distant Third Option - Mail it, or just cut out the wait and and save the postage by throwing it away - same result.

By the time we recieved a post card my BIL mailed us from Mexico we had forgotten he'd even been there. Seriously, it was at least 3 months!
