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. Iīm still waiting for birthday presents and lotīs 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 couldnīt 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.
