Post subject:  FEDEX FLEECING
I have to send a mere letter to social security, the most advanced country in the world doesn't let you do some things via email or internet.

I went to FEDEX on Paseo Colon it has to be monitored and tracked, no rush, it could take a week. FEDEX wants $65!!!

Does anyone know a cheaper option? it has to be in the San Jose, Sabana, Escazu, San Pedro areas, anywhere near downtown.

If I can't find an alternative, I'll bite the bullet and skip a poontang session this month, lol.

Or keep the poontang session and eat beans n rice n eggs for a week... :mrgreen:

Did you try EMS at the main post office? I sent a 3 or 4 lb box to the states and it cost less than that. I was in and out in 10 minutes. Trackable, fast. I think an envelope to US should be about $24.00. This leaves you a little extra for some May poon...

Thanks, I'll have to see if they have a location near San Jose, if I have to travel to Rohrmoser or Escazu, I'll try something else or bite the bullet.

Good news, there's one off Paseo Colon, bad news, the slithering snakes want over $80...I checked their website. I'll check out Whitecat's suggestion, if I find myself dealing with normal mismanaged, confusing risky Tico nonsense, off to Fedex I go... :arrow: :x

Beans 'n rice for 3 days, the yellow Mexican rice with red beans, mushrooms, peas and corn fills you up and plenty of protein and vegetables, don't want to cut out a poontang appointment this month, lol. :mrgreen: :lol:

Can't help you there, but I know where you can get an "ORIGINAL English certificate without writing any" :lol: :lol: :lol:

Not sure what kind of letter you might be sending, but have you tried the Federal Benefits Unit at the US Embassy in Pavas? They can do most things.

Thanks, I checked them out, won't work, need a "wet" signature sent to them. :?
