Mail

I have mailed several letters to U.S. and they have al arrived although it took about to weeks.

A friend of mine had a P.O. Box and he always received mail in his box although, once gain, a little slow.

My wife tried to get a P.O. Box but they are all rented. She was told to have her mail sent "General Delivery" and they would hand it to her over the counter-3 pieces were sent and the postal agent could never findthem.

In any case I advise using DHL for packages, even for one page documents-it is pricey but it gets there. One disadvantage is they won't ship a lot of things, i.e., I needed to send a small electronic item back to the U.S. but they would not accept it . I advertised on this board for help and found someone to take it to the U.S. and mail it fro there.

The post office is located near Copels on a side street.

Lack of a good low cost postal system is no doubt one of the many reasons this economy has trouble realizing its potential.
