Slyfox. I do not use any intermediary. It is simply United States Postal Service to Ecuadorian Postal Service. I simply fill out the forward mail form you can pick up at any US post office. Of course this presumes you have an Ecuadorian Mailing Address. I had signed up for a P.O. box here the first time I was down on vacation so that was no problem. Some people don't like that because they don't trust the Ecuadorian system, probably with good reason. But after 2 years my experience has been positive for the most part. Carl
