Default Very useful information, thanks

Now if you want to perhaps trade some maple syrup, we can talk about that . I have a nice collection, as Robert can atest to, and I am always wanting to add to the collection.

Cordially

Naufraga signed us up with CPS, and so far so good. A good friend who uses CPS recommended them, and she's been very happy with them. Gotta be careful about junk mail though. Ordering through the internet or catalogs, then they sell your address, which generates the junk mail, cause you gotta pick it up and pay for it. Suprised at your question though. What have you been doing about mail all these years?

All these places are in SD.

We're with P O Box International, and have been for about 5 years now. No complaints. Nice people.

They have a system with junk mail where you leave the offending catalogues with them, and pay a token fee. They supply you with all the necessary info for getting on to the US mailing preference service, which effectively blocks your name off all commercial mailing lists. It's been a long time since we received any junk mail as a result.

I always had friends or family bringing me my dose of maple sirup or I was using a friend's PO box!

Default CPS to Santiago?

Does CPS deliver to Santiago? I was originally going to the be living in Santo Domingo and my company set me up an account there. Now I will be in Santiago and would like to receive my mail there.

Also -- does the service just entail going by the office and picking up your mail from a box (similiar to the US)?

and how does sending mail back work? I will be needing to mail envelopes to the US every once and a while.
(Curious to find a way to get my netflix movies down here --and then back up... www.netflix.com)

I just called them up, they also have an office in Santiago and you can transfer your account there to receive your packages! You pick up your packages at the office and of course you can also send out mail!

Default At "EPS",you don't pay for "Junk Mail"!

Or anything else you don't want! You just pay for what you want.They charge a little more than some other companies,but I am sent a lot of "Catalogs" and other junk that I don't want,or have,to pay for!I like their computer tracking system too! CC

Does this mean that if I am in Missouri and want to send a box of goods to family in Santiago that the family receiving would need to have a mailbox through one of these companies and that I would pay to get it to say a Mailbox location here in the US and then our family in Santiago would pay to pick up whatever I sent? Sorry I am still confused about the sending of packages from the US. I did call an individual in New York and they said they would send a certain size box after I sent to them for $90. Thanks
Also does the word Inscription mean the cost of the mailbox in DR?
