buying in mexico before our stay and shipping directly to the hotel.

La Page42 · 07-11-2006

I need help again. Can someone one tell me a place where we can buy things like snorkle masks, snorkles, insulated mugs, beach towels and things of this nature (preferably a website that is in Mexico) as to where i can purchase these and have them shipped to my hotel for our stay in October.
I have stated this before but, we would like to give our guest for our wedding (at the Iberostar Tucan) gift bags with some things that they wouldnt think to bring. We can buy them here in the States but shipping is really expensive. I thought this might be a way around it. Has anyone done this before? any help or idea's would be helpful.

Shipping, bad idea. Costly, may never arrive. Give yourself an extra day and visit Wal-mart here in Playa.

If you are buying a lot of the same items it would be cheaper to do it through one of the store suppliers, like towels for example, there is a store in quinta and Juarez that would sell at bulk prices for a minimum purchase, for snorkel and mask if you have a lot of them the company that sells to the tour company should be a lot cheaper but again depends on the amount you purchase. they can even print your names on beach items.
It is a great idea for wedding giveaways

They have just opened a Scuba Libre store I noticed on the highway 307 that might be able to help you. But I agree with Heather and go shop at one of the stores here, they are all over and you can probably get a better price and if you buy enough they may deliver them for you to the hotel .

just something to think about....do you really want to be doing all of that running around when you arrive in playa. it can be very stressful and it's your wedding and when you get to playa it should be as much fun and relaxation as possible. i am just speaking from experience because i had my wedding there last year. what if you were to just get a nice bottle of tequila with a couple of handmade shot glasses for each couple.
