I wanted to know have any of ou ladies sent anything via the post office down to Jamaica

I've only sent "regular" letters and they all took over a month to reach Montego Bay....couldn't imagine what happened to your computers...sorry

I sent regular letters and cards and they got to St. Thomas in good time. Whenever I was in a hurry or sending documents, I used FEDEX.

Me too!! FedEx to Montego Bay got there in two days....and I didn't even want it to get there that fast. You can't go wrong with them or DHL....at least they have a pretty good tracking system. Even here in the States -- FedEx or DHL if it must get there....

Thanks guys, I wasn't ina rush to get it to him so I sent it withthe postal system but I guess next time I will know better. I have tracked it with the postal system but they keep responding with "May 8, 2006 in Jamaica's custom" I am just getting fustrated, I really hope they don;t thinktheat it has anything on it. Thanks though I will call the regular customs and see if they can give me an answe.

Since the weather is changing and all (it's getting nice out), I was thinking let's plan a get together. I know that everyone won't be able to attend as we're not all in the same place, but what about some of us east coast people meet up for some drinks, food and chattin' (God know we have tons to chat about ).

Can I get a roll call of all the members in the Tri-State area????

I wanted to know have any of ou ladies sent anything via the post office down to Jamaica.

I sent down two computer items for my husband ( I need him to get back online I can't stand not speakingot him on a regular) at the beginning of the month and it was suppose to reach in about 4 days I sent it Global priority/express gurantee with insurance, but up till now it has not reached him. It is in Jamaica but at the Customs. Can anyone tell me how to get in touch with the customs office to find out what is the deal?

I am thinking that the customs is holding on to it because the think it has some terrorist information on it, but that would be far from true, it is a brand new memory and harddrive still in the sealed case. Next time I will be sening things by DHL Fedex tried to charge me over a $100.

Thanks in advance.

2 months ago, I sent a package Fed Ex and it was full of household stuff......It got stuck in customs for 3 weeks!!!! Then.....they charged over $150.00 US to get the package. This was more than what I paid for all the stuff I sent!!!!! I was really annoyed with Customs....

There is no way to contact customs direct but your hubby can contact the local courier service for mail. He should know where the local office is at in his town. They will contact customs for you and pick up the package for you. He will then need to go and pay the "duty fees". BTW......they will not tell you how much the fees are until you go pick up the package. After that experience, I decided that I would never send anything again!!!! I heard a lot of horror stories about Jamaican customs...they either "steal" the items or price the duty fees soooooo high that people can not afford to get them out of customs. After a certain time, the package is labeled as abandoned and they take the stuff!!! Pretty Unbelievable if you ask me......... So...have your hubby check the courier service...I can get you the exact name of the office we used if your husband can't find it......Good luck!!

Ditto

We got the date via phone and made the medical appt. You just have to have your packet 4 when you go to the medical...I believe there is a form the doctor fills out.
