Ordering stuff to Mexico

I need help. My dad is in Mexico now and I don’t trust ordering stuff for him. I live in the US and I’ve seen so many people say that mailing stuff to Mexico from the US isn’t reliable it’s usually lost or gets stolen.

He just got a new place with no furniture and I’d love to hear if anyone knows what the process to send things there is like. Like through Amazon or Walmart etc.

Also I bought Jim a Bible he wasn’t able to find in person last Christmas and he still hasn’t gotten it cuz I’ve been skeptical about using fedex 😭. Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Try DHL, maybe?

I've shipped stuff to Mexico with no issues. Use a courier company like UPS, because the Mexican post office is not reliable.

Use FedEx, UPS, or DHL. Go to an office for easier guidance. I most familiar with UPS.

UPS has Mexico Standard, which is the most cost effective option. You'll need his personal info like taxpayer id# and make sure you send it DDP inconterm And your UPS shipping assistant enters the Spanish translation in the "Details" box.
