I need some help how long should mail to the states take it was sent Registered mail??I have no idea what that is and means in Belize . IT WAS SENT TO NEW JERSEY ..two weeks ago
i still have not got it????

Our mail to the USA usually takes between 7 and 21 days.

In the future, if you need it sent quickly, FedEx out of the Tropic Air Cargo building is really fast. 2-3 business days, reliable.

Registered mail takes about 1 week longer than regular mail and regular mail usually takes around 2 weeks. You cannot track the registered mail until 30 days have passed.

wow
That sucks thanks
Your once Again a wealth of good information
WARM REGARDS

Hey Jeff,
When I want to mail something back to the States, I walk into Tropic air and look for an over 50 yr old USA person... I never miss knowing who is from the USA. They just look, talk I don't know they just are??? So, any way I flash them a smile and ask if they are going back to the US today. If they are and you can tell that too... I ask them if they would mail this envelope for me. They usually say sure and that is that - if they look puzzled I say "I never know how long it will take if I mail it from here" or something along those lines. This has worked repeatedly for me.
See you at the pool??? Pam

When I was in Puerto Vallarta in the early 90's the AA meeting was in an upstairs room over the theatre. Just inside the door was a basket marked. "USA mail." Now mind you, USA postage had to be affixed. Then any one who was leaving for the US would take the envelopes and mail them from where ever they landed.
Maybe our up-coming Social Club could set up something like that???

I don't know, maybe I'm a cynical American, but I don't think I would transport an unkown package from a foreign country into the U.S.. Be my luck something illegal.

loka one needs to read and put the brain in gear first before one posts.
#1 it was a letter sent not a package ?I NEVER SAID PACKAGE .
#2 it was a check as of today still legal ??????
but Your coments where noted???????????
Thanks lol.

I can understand your concerns, so anytime I have ever asked someone to mail anything "time sensitive", the envelope / package remains unsealed so they are free to view the content....

Capt Jeff you are so funny... I've missed you!

I like your idea, indygal. I would gladly mail your envelope for you if you saw me at Tropic. Hope all is well with you both. xo

Back in '01/'02, a good friend of mine, knowing that I was going back to the States ask me if I would take an envelope with a few checks and deposit them in the states for him as all the computers were in the toilet. Of course, I said sure. I went to the bank the next day to make the deposit and lo in behold ! Over $200.000,00 US was in that package !!!!!!

Great story, I don't think I'm too surprised....I wonder who gave you that envelope??? mmmmmmm.....I could take a guess.....But not here.....

Go ahead and ask....... But I wont tell Ya

Belize law requires that if you are leaving Belize with "negotiable instruments" of more than $10,000 BZD (in total), you must declare it.
That means money, checks, money orders and probably something I haven't thought to mention.
If you don't declare, you are subject to arrest ....... and people have been arrested and charged under this law.

Now a days in most cases it is not necessary to take the actual negotiable instruments out of the country to deposit them in a USA account. Many banks will now allow you to scan the document and email it to them for deposit.
