I hate to tell you this but .... I have shipped items to friends on the island before using both USPS and FedEx and they have never gotten there within the "promised" time frame. I hope it gets there for you!

How do you sent your gear to Bonaire? I've used a large Akona mesh dive bag for two trips but is this sturdy enough? Do I need to invest in a rolling scuba suitcase? These usually cost in the range of $200, a lot for twice-a-year travel.

Barton, We have 4 divers in the family, for each, we pack a large suitcase with B/C, fins, wetsuit, lights, and any other peices of gear. Take our Reg's and mask in the carry-on. Haven't had a problem in 12 years... Ron

Oh, Annie, it will show up, you just don't know what year. My personal best was 55 weeks for a first-class letter, and then there was the package that got sent to Bahrain instead of Bonaire--that showed up about 9 months later with lots of Arabic on it which I think said, "Mis-sent to Bahrain." Good luck.

My favorite so far was a postcard from a friend in Japan. It arrived 4 months later in an envelope provided by the Japanese post office, explaining that it really was for Bonaire. Every time it got to Bonaire, the post office would see all the Japanese writing on the postcard and send it back to Japan.

I use EZone for packages from US..USPS and UPS really are unreliable. EZone is a sort mailing service from the US via the Antillean Post. If a package gets to Miami on a Friday, chances are pretty good I have it the following Wed.

A kind woman at the Rocargo Fedex desk advised me to address things to Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean. Then "they" have to look it up and "they" have a better chance of getting it right.
