I understand the post office is virtually non existent in MX but wonder if there is a way to ship to Tulum. Fedex? UPS?

Don't expect your letter to get to its destination on time though Steve

I'm thinkin' the two years you mentioned is about the correct time frame to anticipate for delivery of your letter. Though, I will say I've purchased Hard Rock Cafe pins from a chap in Mexico City on several occasions, and the delivery has been dependable and prompt. He does, however, send them as what appears to be the equivalent of "registered mail", because the packages require a signature on delivery. Not cheap either, but it works.

We have ordered items on eBay from Mexico City, and had them delivered to New York. They do come registered, and they have arrived within 2 weeks.

Last year I Fedexed a framed painting to Playa from NY, it cost $400US to ship, but the import tax was only $10.

I assuming that you are shipping from the U.S. to Tulum. I would use DHL personally but not sure if they are still operating in the states.

That is neither accurate nor fair, especially if one has a post office box, at least in parts of Mexico, including Merida.
