As has now been widely reported, Club Correos -- the Ecuador postal service's failed attempt at streamlining the shipment and delivery of Internet purchases -- crashed and burned this week.
Subscribers in Cuenca, EC's #1 Gringo stronghold, had cut back on "club" shipments by 99 percent after imposition of the new $42 tariff in October.
ServiEntrega -- a shipping company that has storefront offices in Ecuador -- is partnering with Econcargo, Club Correos's old forwarding partner in Miami, Florida...and looking to pick up former subscribers to Club Correos.
However, ServiEntrega is a primarily Spanish-speaking outfit, and so is Econcargo, whose website is not user-friendly and whose customer service has failed to meet expectations.
So...what's an EC Expat to do now.....
