You've Not Seen High Prices

10 years ago

It is evident that the comments about high prices are made by people who have never been to Japan, UK or europe for the most part.

IMHO (in my humble opinion) Paraguay is like many other places: some things are more expensive while other things are less expensive. A generalized, blanket statement is neither accurate or useful. This is like saying "rain today"; where and how much?

Regarding cellular service: tigo and claro services seem to be most popular. I've had "plans" on three continents and these cell companies all collude or use plans that require certain comittments, this is nothing new. Granted the north american companies have better rates due to a much larger market which allows more competitive pricing. The recharging of minutes seems to be better for me than some plan..." to each his own."

My family uses Paraguay Box for receiving items we've purchased online from the states. There has never been a problem and the cost is not much greater than the USPS, about $15 annual fee plus weight charge. You have a Miami street address, which is required by most US retailers. Also this company has several locations in the Gran Asuncion area as well as around the country.
