Using Fed Ex in Costa Rica
Posted October 26th, 2007 by Christopher HowardMAIN LOCATION - Cariari:
From the Pista that you take from SJ to the Airport - get off at the Real Cariari Mall exit (NOT one of the 2 little ones before & that go into it with NO signs!! I don’t believe there’s a sign there [surprise!!]) - head East/RIGHT if you’re coming from the San Jose direction.
Pass the mall & just after the light that takes you into it, you come to a “Y”/split/fork in the road - veer RIGHT. Go down 800 meters/8 blocks (you’ll be in the “Free Zone”) to Metro Park - turn LEFT into it. At the guard station you’ll give them your drivers license & goforward/straight. Turn LEFT at the first DRIVEWAY (which is AFTER thefirst street). There’s Fed Ex.

ON Paseo Colon in the War Service Center - 100 meters East from Monument of Leon Cortez (the guy with 2 lions, next door to the Soccer/Futball Federation) - at the beginning/West entrance to Paseo Colon closest to Sabana Park. Go up 1 block & they’re on the corner on the right side - next door to HSBC (formerly Banex). Walter is REALLY helpful & speaks GOOD English!

THEY PICK UP FROM YOU:
PRICE - Start at 18,407 for pickups through much of the Central Valley (call for pricing for other pickup locations) to the U.S. (depends on where it’s going to) for a document that’s under 1 pound (approximately 50 pages). You must call before 11:30am (pick ups are from 10am-5-6-ish).
YOU BRING THE PACKAGE TO THEM:
PRICE - 18,589-c (so it’s MORE EXPENSIVE for you to take it to them than for them to pick it up
