Post Offices in Rio
When it comes to post offices in Rio and Brazil it´s the omnipotent

- Aeroporto Tom Jobim/Galeão, Green Sector, 3rd floor, room 3023. Everyday! 7h/19h Caution
Note that it is not recommendable to receive or send objects of importance or value through ordinary mail, my own and many others experience is that stuff disappear. I´m still waiting for birthday presents and lot´s of other things to arrive. The customs are pretty tough and they love to put a high value and tax things. I remember my friends Phil & Sarah who received a Christmas package including vitamins that they couldn´t receive without paying over 100 R$ in tax! Parcel Services
They have their own parcel service called Sedex which seem to work quite well. If you are to get things sent here you have three major options. -
FedEx
They are pretty fast, normally it takes three days for a package to arrive.
-
UPS
They are the fastest and often the most expensive. The time of delivery is often only two days.
-
DHL
The cheapest and slowest. Recommended for big packages.
