I came here to specifically make a comment about costa rica! I love CR even with its lack of street addresses. How do you typically receive packages?


Amazon Global will deliver most things right to my door now and it's surprisingly inexpensive shipping + customs taxes (in some categories). Hard part is finding stuff that ships directly, they have a checkbox to filter for international shipping but it's not completely accurate. Shipping time is 2 - 3 weeks minimum.

For everything else and stuff Amazon doesn't ship I use Aerocasillas or a PO box at the post office. Aerocasillas are pricey but they do their job and fast, something arriving at their address in Miami on Monday is usually available to pickup by Friday. The post office recently didn't tell us about a package my sister sent until after they'd sent it back lol.
