USPS works most the time. Or, you could have a delivery service develop and deliver them for you. Not Forgot in Guat delivers them.

If they live in the city, the regular postal service seems to work just fine....

We sent pics and gifts about 3-4 times a year to all 4 foster families and have had no problems with the usps.

I used FedEX for everything but it was expensive.

I used USPS, it did not get there. I had previously sent a basket with NOT FORGOT IN GUAT, So I emailed Karla to see if she could call FM. FM did not receive it. So Karla volunteered to search with the tracking number, found it and called FM and told her where to get it. Soon, I will be sending it straight to Karla and then having her deliver it to FM with another food basket. Karla is awesome.
