Problems with traditional parcel sending

When you have a parcel or boxes (Cajas) to send, it is normal to believe first regarding using traditional services to send it, as these are the way you have most likely heard regarding commonly for most of your life. On the other hand, this is not essentially a straightforward process. If you are sending (Envío) a parcel via normal routes, it means taking it to a Post Office to arrange delivery.

How simple this is all depends on how close your adjacent Post Office is to your house and workplace and what its opening hrs are. Some Post Office are open outside these hrs, particularly during the early part of week day evenings and on Saturday mornings, but these Post Offices may not be in an simple location for you.

That only leaves lunch time visits, which have problems of their own. If you are trying to fit in your Post Office visit for the duration of your lunch break at work, you require to establish whether you can get there, queue to send your parcel, then get back all in the space of an hour. The queues are the most trying part because they are random and can take a very long time.

Getting there depends on your way of transport. If you have a car it can be simple in a timing sense, but you might get stuck in traffic queues and then effort to park and end up paying a lot of cash for it. Public transport is particularly incompatible and might not get you there and back in sufficient time.
