Question Lost parcel sent to Monte Llano, Puerto Plata
Dear all,

Does anyone know if there are two Monte Llanos in DR?

I have sent two valuable parcels and missed `Puerto Plata` off the address!! What a muppet!

I sent the packages 3 weeks ago and they have not got there yet. I'm not sure where freight air mail gets delivered from UK into DR, but its obviously got lost. I did put the apartment details and street, Monte Llano, Dominican Republic......but no Puerto Plata.

Does anyone know how I could go about tracking it down, or if there is more than one Monte Llano?

Look forward to anyone enlightening me.

Regards

Karen

Default Well, first off you are really dumb for using the mails
Kiss it (them) goodbye!!

Only a rookie would use the mails.

For anything of value useonly Business Mail, FedEx or DHL or UPS and maybe one or two other carriers

Bye bye package....

I'm still interested to know if there is another Monte Llano.....

I will resend the stuff again, it can be replaced, it's just a pain in the *** and costs $$

A friend sends things all the time from England to DR and it always gets there, but I'll use DHL in future.

Thanks

Karen I'm sure I've read that it's spelled a couple of different ways. Do a search I can't remember where it was posted before.

Found it

Montellano - What's in a name?

Why don't you try to track down the pkg. before resigning yourself to it being lost..Did you at least insure it?

Default No I didn't.....
It was photo albums full of photos that are more sentimental thatn have a monetry value plus took time to put together, it's just a real pain to do it again, but I do have all the digital pictures and will have to do the whole exercise again! I was going to insure it, but didn't this time. I normally always insure but was in a rush and didn't get it done.

Never mind, you live and learn!

Thanks

KJ

There is a very small village in the mountains above Salcedo also called Montellano, and there are probably others. Despite this, I don't think the loss of your parcel is the result of innocent confusion.

Default This is one reason that the country is going with postal codes
I really am sorry about the package and it just might turn up if the person goes looking for it at the post office. Funnier things have happened.

It also might be held in the Customs office, since it is a package. So your friend might want to go to the Post Office and see if there is a paper for him or the package....

Have your friend go into Puerto Plata and open an account with Business Mail. Then you send anything via normal Air Mail and it gets to Miami and from then on it is courriered (?sp?) down to him/her.

They charge about $3.50 a pound, somethimes less for packages....
