I know that Club Correos doesn't work anymore. I would really like to get a tablet shipped to me here in Ecuador along with a media streamer. Has anyone used globalbox.com.ec? Do they charge the $42 tax? Would I be able to get more than one tablet sent, or is there a limit? Is it reliable?

If you're not using globalbox, what are you using to get shipments from the U.S.A. or other countries?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I doubt you would avoid it unless they were to send it here using the U.S. postal service (without a tracking number. usually).

If you order from a seller in China off of EBAY and they mail it using China Post, you wold also probably avoid the $42 AND I think there would be a tracking number.

However, I wouldn´t bet my lunch on either of these.

Here is a more definitive answer from their website

Tus envíos 4×4 pagarán una tasa única de $42.00.

Translation
Your shipments of 4x4 will pay 42.
