Mail Order Artisan Products

[skooldya1]

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could recommend specialty food shops and/or artisans in Mexico that would ship their products to the States. I'm looking for anything from cheese to fruit pastes to chilies to rompope. Thanks for any info!

It is very difficult to send anything other than a flat envelope from Mexico, and some of those don't make it. Those that do can take weeks. DHL and FedEx are very expensive from Mexico, and are delayed by customs scrutiny.

What you are proposing is probably not feasible.
