Costa Rica is a country in Central America where its eastern coast borders the Caribbean Sea and its western slopes into the Pacific Ocean - which may explain the derivation of the country's name in Spanish: Rich Coast. Furthermore Nicaragua is to the north and Panama to the south meaning that this is a very historic and vibrant part of the world and is actually the twenty third oldest democracies in the world. Another interesting fact is that Costa Rica abolished its army in 1949 - the budget for which was transferred to security, education and culture.

In terms of prices to send a parcel to Costa Rica, they are much the same as The Bahamas. To book an international courier to Costa Rica a 1kg parcel would cost in the region of £33 if you choose our own brand Air Express service which is delivered in just 3-4 days. We also offer Asendia but at a slightly higher cost of over £34 and a slower transit time, for this destination we would advise the popular and premium Parcel Monkey Air Express. This service is actually just a day slower than DHL Air Express, which we also offer but is far cheaper.
For something more heavy you can send a 10kg parcel from Under £67 at the time of writing again via our Air Express and 20kg just, £103. When you compare that to the £275 DHL Air Express want (at a discounted rate on our site as well) you can see why Parcel Monkey Air Express is the choice of many shippers who send parcels to San José and the rest of Costa Rica.
Parcel Monkey Air Express is collected in the UK, generally by Parcelforce, is shipped out via Freight Forwarder and the delivered in country by DHL, plus it comes with full tracking. The only thing to consider is the one day more in transit time. DHL offer delivery to Costa Rica in 2-3 days.
