Question

What's the best way to send things to central America?

Answer 1

It depends on what you are sending, if it is little things then UPS should be the fastest and safest but quite expensive. On the other hand if you are sending big things you should try companies that ship fleets of products, some airlines are helpful like TACA or American Airlines.

Answer 2

it depends on what are you going to send.  If it is something with a great volume, then you can ask to:

AIRLINES - American Airlines, Taca, Mexicana, United Airlines, Delta

SHIPS - coming directly to Guatemala

BROKER DEALERS - as cargo agencies

If it is something small then you can ask couriers, but they are expensive

DHL. FEDEX, UPS, TNT

Good luck

Answer 3

I have used UPS always, they are fast and reliable but be careful because whatever thing you send you have to sign an affidavit stating costs. In spite of the burocratic process, I;ve never had any trouble with UPS to central or south america.

Answer 4

There's also King Express.

Answer 5

FedEx...i send stuff to panama all the time, they're the quickest

Answer 6

FedEx and UPS are good, but you can also send things through the US Postal Service Global Express.  It works just as well, and I think it is connected somehow with FedEx or something like them down there.  We have been sending a lot of documents to Nicaragua that way.  It's also the cheapest if you need to get it there fast.

However, if you have a large latin population where you live, check for "encomiendas" in local latin stores.  See if they ship to certain latin countries.  Where we live, there are all sorts of encomiendas to El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala.

Answer 7

Postal is not so good. Fed ex and UPS are really pricey to  Guatemala- try DHL. Also I have heard of people shipping to California and then couriers take To Guate..... don't know much more about it.
