I'm house-sitting a place about an hour outside of La Chorrera. The owner is sending me some parts from the US to repair the ride-a-mower she has here, and so she asked me to register with Mail Boxes Etc., as they now have a branch in La Chorrera.
Anyways, that got me thinking about ordering some stuff online from the US/Canada, and having it forwarded to the MBE Chorrera branch.
I've been looking through their website, and I'm having a hard time finding estimates for prices. I'm trying to figure out if it's going to be prohibitively expensive for a low-value order.
So for example, let's say I just want to order a couple of paperbacks from Amazon, any idea of a ballpark price MBE would charge to move the order from the address in Florida to Panama?
The only other thing I think I'd be looking at getting is some vitamins. I've heard there are really high import taxes on electronics in Panama - any idea what the rates are for vitamins and books?
Cheers
