As long as you have a good address, it should be ok. If you live outside Montevideo or somewhere like Atlantida, then you should sent it to someone who lives in one of those places.

Rural addresses read like "about a half a mile down the old highway". Also, many rural houses share the same address. We have something like 10 neighbors down a dirt road who also have our address.

I've heard that there are sometimes problems with apartment buildings also. I'm not sure what the problem is. But that's what I've heard.

I just had some things for work sent to a friend of ours in Montevideo by DHL. It arrived in something like 4 days.

I think what you've described should go right through. But if customs thinks it's worth something, they'll hold it hostage until you pay their extortion.

You can also look into Casilla Mia. They are part of the Uruguayan mail service. You send the mail to them in Miami and for a fixed price by weight, they forward it to you in Uruguay. On the Tarifas page you can see the costs. Perhaps they can tell you if duty will be required.

Sadly, when it comes to customs clearance, I heard only bad stories from companies like DHL, and even had my own dose. I would recommend to use plain EMS and do the paperwork yourself, or hire a customs broker to handle it for you.
