Picture this, you live in Mexico but are from the USA, so when your credit card expires you need to send your new card from the USA to Mexico. You expect forwarding a letter overseas to cost $35 or so, right?
USPS: They never deliver. There is no mail system in Mexico. Everything I've ever tried to have shipped by USPS to Mexico NEVER ARRIVES.
UPS: There is no UPS in Mexico.
FedEx: $284...for a fucking letter.
DHL: $78...for a fucking letter, but what can you do? I need my credit card.
So I have my postal service forward my new credit card by DHL. I also had my mom's new passport forwarded. She got the passport no problem THANK GOD. But my credit card?
DHL: You need to get an import license and work with a shipping broker to bring merchandise into Mexico for resale.
Me: This is a personal credit card, not merchandise.
DHL: You need to get an import license and work with a shipping broker to bring merchandise into Mexico for resale. You are importing cards with chips to sell in Mexico.
Me: It's literally one card, with my name on it, that matches my CURP (like Mexico social security number). Please just send me my letter. I paid $78 for this.
DHL: You need to get an import license and work with a shipping broker to bring merchandise into Mexico for resale.
Me: I get some regulations to quote from AI. Not merchandise. Reclassify the shipment and give me my fucking credit card (didn't swear but yeah.)
DHL: You need to get an import license and work with a shipping broker to bring merchandise into Mexico for resale.
AI says they are too lazy to ever reclassify a shipment once they've misclassified it. And even if I paid $500usd to get a shipping broker all they'd do is say you don't need me and ask them to reclassify the shipment, which they won't. -_-
So I gave up, got a new card sent, and had it forwarded by fucking FedEx. -_- Almost $400 to get my new fucking credit card. I'm fucking done.
