Why I’ll Never Ship Another Package the Old-Fashioned Way Again

Let’s be real. If you’ve ever tried to ship something from the U.S. to Mexico (or vice versa), you already know it’s a circus of delays, surprise fees, and a whole lot of “why is my package in customs purgatory again?”

That used to be me.

But then I found SMA International Services in Puerto Vallarta… and suddenly, my mail wasn’t being held hostage by bureaucracy anymore.

This isn’t just a shipping company. It’s a stress-reduction service.

SMA International Services doesn’t just “import packages from the U.S.” — they make your life exponentially easier if you live in or around Puerto Vallarta or Bahía de Banderas.

Whether you’re running a business, furnishing your condo, or just trying to get your Amazon order across the border without drama, they’ve got you covered.

Here’s what they offer:

Import packages from the U.S.
Home delivery right to your door (yes, like actually to your door — not “some office you have to drive across town to find”)
Send and receive mail of all kinds from the U.S. — letters, documents, even magazines
Fast, efficient delivery – usually 6–10 business days

And they do it with… wait for it… zero hidden fees. No taxes, no IVA (unless you ask for a factura), no sketchy “broker fees.”

Let’s talk pricing (because that matters)

Their rates are ridiculously fair:

  • Annual unlimited mail membership – $230 USD
  • Per-piece mail – $195 MXN
  • Packages – 19% of order value + $1.25 USD per pound + optional $1 insurance
  • Minimum fee – $195 MXN

That’s it. No “surprise” charges at the door. Just solid, upfront pricing. The kind of pricing you tell your friends about because you actually trust the company.

What’s the catch?

Honestly? There isn’t one. I’ve used their service more than once. They don’t mess around.

The process is simple:

  1. Ship your items to their U.S. address in Laredo, Texas.
  2. Email the invoice and tracking info to: sma.intlservices@gmail.com 
  3. Wait a few days.
  4. Get a friendly email saying your stuff has arrived in PV.
  5. Schedule your home delivery.
  6. Pay however you want (cash, card, PayPal, transfer) when it shows up.

They even handle meds (just include a prescription). And their customer service? Feels like you’re texting a friend. A really responsible, organized friend who happens to run a logistics company.

Why it works

SMA International Services isn’t some faceless corporation. They’re a small, local team that actually gives a damn.

Their whole thing? Personalized attention.
They’ll call you. They’ll email you. They’ll double-check your delivery info.

That’s rare. And that’s exactly why I’ll keep recommending them.
