Belize Postal System Dysfunctional

11 years ago
Does anyone have recommendations for getting mail in and out of Belize?

We are in Hopkins. An important flat rate envelope sent to me by "International Priority Mail" was represented in South Carolina to take 5 to 7 days. That is a joke. It took 5 weeks to get to Dangriga. One month after arriving in Belize City to get to Dangriga. And USPS says there is no tracking in Belize. Not even that it arrived in country.

I have since heard several horror stories about the Belize mail.

One person waited over two months to get a package from Germany. Post cards mailed to the US seem to take two weeks or more.

One person tried Fed Ex (3 times more expensive than USPS) and had a nightmare trying to pick his package up. He was required to take out a Fed Ex account to get this package. And that took time and more paper work.
