I worked and lived at a school for international students in a small town in Baja California last year, and packages from abroad were picked up at the post office, not delivered to the school. I would say that about 2/3rds of sent packages never arrived. I can't say where in the postal system they "disappeared," but this is definitely not a reliable way to send and pick up your things.

In this age where every travel establishment out there is dreaming up new ways of collecting additional revenue, some hotels are charging steep fees for such services. Call ahead first and check if this is the case. Be careful about sending packages ahead to hotels.

I ordered last year a DVD from Germany and had it shipped as "Postlagernd" at the airport in Munich where I had 2 hour layover. It saved me 10$ or 20$ shipping and I had one more excuse to go through airport's shops for locals. (restrictions still applied...) That’s a great idea.
