Travel Tips
The regular Mexican mail is not reliable. Things, if they do get there, may take a long time. Packages do get stolen from the regular mail. I was told that by the director of a school in Mexico. Here is something from Frommer's Guide Online:

Mail -- Postage for a postcard or letter is 1 peso; it may arrive anywhere from 1 to 6 weeks later. A registered letter costs $1.90. Sending a package can be quite expensive -- the Mexican postal service charges $8 per kilo (2.2 lb.) -- and unreliable; it takes 2 to 6 weeks, if it arrives at all. The recommended way to send a package or important mail is through FedEx, DHL, UPS, or another reputable international mail service.



There are some mail services in Mexico that have a Texas mailing address. You can send packages through them. They will take your package, bring it to Texas, mail it there through the US Postal Service, and pick up packages from their Texas mailing address and transport them to Mexico.

and personal experience.
