PACKING SERVICES

A good person to talk with if you are shipping any quantity of goods back to your home country is Victor Vasquez at Terasita on Murguia just to the right of Macedonio Alcalá. We don't have personal experience shipping with his help, but friends who routinely ship to their store in Washington, D.C., recommended him highly.

PAWN SHOPS
Should you run into trouble yourself or if you appreciate things a little strange, do visit one or more of the state or privately owned pawn shops in Oaxaca. They are a way of life for many people here. In the state run shops the business works pretty much on the consignment concept. Folks bring in what they can part with and come to a price with the pawn shop staff. At the drop off they receive a relatively small percentage of the value of their merchandise until it is sold at which time they receive a much larger percentage, the pawn shop taking a relatively small percentage of the sale price.

PHARMACIES
Pharmaceutical drugs are available over the counter in pharmacies in Mexico except for most habit forming pain killers and sleeping pills. If you are self diagnosing and medicating, you need to do your homework on the internet before buying and using what are normally restricted medications. You will need to know the dosage, times/day, side effects and contraindications and you will need to have the name and contact information of a physician if you run into trouble. For those purchasing prescribed medications in Mexico because they are less expensive than in the States perhaps, be aware that the quality or strength of pharmaceuticals may differ country to country.
