What Should I Know Before I Start to Prepare My Package?

With our services, sending your precious goods to your loved ones in Mexico is very easy! As the US's second-largest export market and being so close to home, regular shipping routes help keep delivery fast and reliable. With PackageHopper it means it’s reasonably priced too!

On average, the transit time from the US to Mexico can be anywhere from 1 to 5 business days depending on several factors like the shipping service, carrier, holidays, and customs. With PackageHopper, you can choose between standard or expedited shipping services. We’d recommend selecting expedited if it’s a holiday gift or a special birthday package so your happy recipient will have it in time for unwrapping! 

All you need to do on your end is to make sure that the package is secured so it can arrive in Mexico in one piece.

Here are some tips that you can use when preparing your package.

• Use a rigid box with flaps intact
• Remove any labels, hazardous materials indicators, and other previous shipment markings on the box that are no longer applicable
• Wrap all items separately
• Use adequate cushioning material
• Use strong tape designed for shipping
• Do not use string or paper over-wrap
• Use a single address label that has clear, complete delivery and return information
• Place a duplicate address label inside the package

We offer some great packing tips on our blog, so make sure you read up before you drop off your package!

What Can I Ship?

In the next step, we expect you to provide us with information about the type and value of the items you are sending. Check out the list of restricted & prohibited items to see if any of your items qualify. Some products are completely forbidden from exporting out of the US, some require additional steps to ensure the shipment can be processed, and some can be exported but you must ensure the destination country will allow the import of the same.

Some items that require special authorization to clear customs include:

• Artwork and antiques
• Medication - personal use only (must be in the original container and clearly labeled, with prescription)
• Alcohol - up to 3 liters of alcohol and 6 liters of wine (if the shipper is over 18 years old)
• Tobacco - up to 20 packs of cigarettes, 25 cigars, or 200 grams of tobacco (if the shipper is over 18 years old)
• Photography and videography equipment (film, videocassettes, lenses) - amount limited
• Cellular phones, radios, walkie-talkies, binoculars, typewriters, laptops, CDs, DVDs - amount limited
• Duplicate appliances (two microwaves permitted, but major appliances may be considered commercial rather than household goods)

This list is might be subject to change so always double-check closer to your send-off time before shipping.

Can I Track My Package?

 Yes, absolutely! Once you drop off your package you will receive a tracking number. Go to Track Your Package on PackageHopper. Select the carrier you chose and type in your tracking number. You’ll see where your package is at the moment. You can also share this info with the receiver of your package so they would know when to expect the goods.
