Ecuador bringing back postal service.
We revive this thread, which was active in 2015-16,
noting that Ecuador's Club Correos service and
later its Correos del Ecuador postal-delivery service
(defunct since 2018) both closed down in
recent years.
It may surprise some of our newer members to
learn that a country that has been popular with
Expats has not provided postal service for
quite a few years.
Apparently, that situation is changing for
the better.
Ecuador's government is reviving postal service
for packages .. under a new name. Correos is
gone. The new service, which uses the old
Correos facilities, is called Servicios Postales
de Ecuador .. and has been functioning for
package deliveries from some countries
since mid-August (2022).
More than a dozen countries -- including
the United States, Canada and the U.K --
are having packages delivered to
addresses in Ecuador. The list is contained
in the article at www.cuencahighlife.com
on which this post is based.
Servicios will apparently not be attempting
to be as full a service as Correos aspired to.
Information about the cost of package delivery
based on two available levels of service,
is included in the Cuenca Highlife article.
