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.

I am happy with the speed of the delivery but unhappy with the fact that the shipment I sent was not delivered straight to the person
Took three tries before the parcel was collected. The tracking at first said that it would be collected on Monday morning. Later on I got another email that told me it would be collected in Tuesday. Wasnt collected then either so I had to reschedule it. Driver was nice and customer support was fast and able. Ergo 3 stars. Would be great if you would have a number to call and that I wouldnt have to make an account to talk with your chat.
No issues and first class service transporting two bikes and a wheel to the mainland from Northern Ireland... only reason I marked it down a star is there is a lack of phone support which in my mind would rate the a 5 star plus company if it provided phone support!
Excellent service, parcel sent to Italy via Parcelforce was delivered in 4 days
Easy site to use. Found a fair price for a courier.
