Once we arrive in Costa Rica ( August 23) our mailing address will be as follows:
Nathan & Sandra Kliewer(This is a must)
Instituto de Lengua Española
Apartado 100 - 2350
San José, Costa Rica
This is not a physical location, but a post office box. This address will be shared by ALL the students so it is IMPERATIVE that your name be on all correspondence.
Receiving things by mail:
Everything mailed to Cost Rica, except books, is subject to duty. Getting packages can be a time consuming process if they are stopped by customs officials. Sometimes packages arrive without a problem, other times you will have to go to the post office (you may have to wait for a short period, depending on how busy it is) and pay a customs charge. In general, it would be OK to have people send small, inexpensive items, but not electronics or other high priced items. (Also, clothes, even used, are often charged a high duty)
