Tijuana - Post Report Question and Answers

How do you send and receive your letters and package mail? Are local postal facilities adequate?

The Consulate has mail annexes that USDH staff can have their items shipped, and the consulate mailroom retrieves them. Items arrive very quickly and are picked up by the consulate every day. If something is delivered to the mail facility on Monday, it will usually be in your hands on Tuesday. - Apr 2023
