  1. suggestions on where i can get a car key duplicated?
  2. Re the delivery status of an item on Amazon it order not shown as delivered, I then click this link Ver todas las actualizaciones which is found under Se envio con etc Se envió con Estafeta ID de seguimiento: 001589050861A601883986 Ver todas las actualizaciones Note - when checking shipping status, I always check that link for accurate info. Most of my orders are delivered the day after arriving at Pacific
  3. when you use a US Credit/Debit Card in Mexico, the US entity - eg bank - usually wants an exact match for the zip code - so if you get rejects, check out the zip codes
  4. I have a US credit card for my Amazon Mx Account. No problem. They continue to let me spend money. I have a US credit card for my Roku TV and do stream Amazon. Amazon requires a Mexican credit/debit card for movies on my MX Roku TV - so cannot watch any movies that require payment as don't want to share my Mx debit card info with Amazon.. Just as well I guess. Saves me money.
  5. lexy you may be able to file a complaint with the consumer protection agency. I can't find an absolute yes or no for an ATM dispute - but probably worth the time to file a complaint - https://www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint/
  6. I used the atms at HSBC next to black coffee - so far no problems - but what ATMs do you recommend?
  7. does the reader get the total blame? Perhaps the writer deserves some too We - the readers - tend to more or less gulp online information. And sometimes the online writers really do not write gulpable information. Studies have shown that many online readers really may not read well. Example: Many studies have shown that when people read on-screen, they don't understand what they've read as well as when they read in print. Even worse, many don't realize they're not getting it. So perhaps the writer should write more simply If you look at style manuals - like Strunk and White - there are rules for writing for readability. On paper. There are different style manuals for writing online - as people read online differently than they read something on paper. If you look at successful websites like Amazon, you will see that "they get it." The newspapers also have to "get it" to stay in business. Many of us learned how to write - on paper. Online is a different world. Keep sentences short. Keep paragraphs short. Just one train of thought per paragraph. And your reader may read better!!!
  8. Here is a facebook group for inexpensive rentals in chapala - worth checking out - https://www.facebook.com/groups/601978587235693 Inexpensive Rentals ChapalaTown
  9. Natacion is an outside pool. Acuatica is indoors . Last I checked Natacion had a waitlist but much shorter than Acuatica for lap swims. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100076153650983
  10. thanks for the updated link - clueless as to how to delete a voicemail message. Can retrieve with pressing 1 - but can't figure out how to delete.
  11. Here is the link - still trying to figure out if any of these milkweed seeds are worthwhile here - https://www.amazon.com.mx/s?k=milkweed+seed&__mk_es_MX=ÅMÅŽÕÑ&ref=nb_sb_noss
  12. thanks for info - Amazon mx does have - so did order from them
  13. thx Natasha - that was the information i was looking for. My power has now been restored - but now know what to do in future - power not restored - not rolling power outs every 3 minutes
  14. i have tried to leave a message - the recording is not accepting it or asking that i leave a message. So when i dial 071, a real person should be answering? As I just hear a message that i cannot understand and cannot leave a message as the recording just keeps recording and then disconnects -
  15. the recording is not asking me to leave a message - i have all the info to report just get a long recording when i call -
  16. i called 071 to report a CFE outage - but have no idea what the recording is saying - anyone know what option/ number i select to report a brownout?
  17. suggestions on where i can purchase milkweed plants?
  18. yesterday noon you could use the atm to deposit money - not withdraw
  19. the national hurricane center usually has good info https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_ep2+shtml/024650.shtml?mltoa34#contents Note - this info is periodically updated as the storm progresses and the forecast changes
  20. a few small puddles in the street in riberas near St Andrews
  21. Mostlylist are you using handy mail or ishop? And have a us number on my mx cell using magic jack and express vpn. So far no problem but not all texts go thru but calls work fine
  22. I had capital one refuse to take my handy mail address Has anyone had recent success with ishop for a capital one credit card? I know they are both commercial mail addresses and most banks want a residential address for recourse
  23. So far no problem except texts don't work well but so far they also have a phone call option. Thx for info on the VOIP club. I have found they are also cracking down on commercial mail addresses such as handymail - and won't accept them - and still have not found a work around as friends address not an option
  24. magic jack can be added to a smart phone - less than $50 a year combined with expess vpn for $99 https://www.magicjack.com/account/mjLandingpages.do?page=index
  25. It also helps to tip when expecting something that hasn't arrived. Last year, someone unexpectedly sent me a small package to my home address from the us. About the time it should have arrived I made a trip to the post office. Nothing there. A week later back to the post office - as usual gave clerk the address written on paper - the clerk looked for the package - couldn't find it - so she went to hand me back the address written on paper. I refused it - and gave her 50 pesos (2.50) with a smile and asked her to keep the address and I would check back later in a week. a few days later she drove to my house - i am 2 miles away from post office - and said the package was here - and she could deliver tomorrow - I was amazed - and of course did tip well the following day when the package was delivered to my home.
