Driving past Guerrero Negro...

I need a clean, brand-new mini-hydraulic-jack brought down from Canada. It's about the size of a boom box and weighs 3-kg, and is in it's own plastic blown case.

This is not a floor jack. It is not available in the USA, or Mexico.

It would arrive to your address pre-paid.

You would be most welcome to open and examine package and contents.

I will pay $$$$ for time and trouble.

Foolproof and ultra-easy dropoff. Takes 5 minutes to do.

The device is to allow me to perform functions with one hand since I have 20% use of my left hand and arm due to accident last summer in Mexico.

Time not critical for delivering. Months if need be.

Please PM if interested

Thank You!

Before anyone volunteers, and since we're talking about crossing two international borders, I think it's fair to ask:

What is it about this item/situation that makes ordinary shipping to Mexico impossible?

DHL is the only reliable carrier.

One thousand six hundred Km round trip to nearest DHL office.

Four hundred sixteen dollars shipping DHL

Aduana adds everything, parts, tax and shipping and taxes that at 26% Been there, done that.

It would never reach Ensenada never mind Guerrero Negro if shipped by postal.

This is a relatively small package. Easy to handle. Not at all suspicious looking nor are it's contents. It's a small, small, hydraulic assembly.

Your question is a good one. Glad to have answered it :-)

Again, Thank You!

Well- and you'll probably think I'm kidding- if you don't get any point-to-point offers, I'd be willing to be a relay handoff spot....

Maybe we could work it to Mexico by passing it from person to person!

Maybe this would help,

In what time frame? Need it now or can it wait until Snowbird season?

Mexbungalows, try the bajanomadsdotcom forum. There are many more people traveling thu out the year on there.

Thanks folks. I will study and use all above suggestions. The device is to try and overcome a disability an arm broken at the wrist last year in Cabo San Lucas. I have about 20% use of the arm and hand and the tool is going to aid me greatly.

Mil Gracias Amigos!

I believe the appliance may have to do "The Bunny Hop".

From Regina, SK, Canada

To somewhere, then hopefully, southern California, where there it can most easily hitch hike its way down to me.

My @#$%^&!!! left arm and hand cannot grasp the other side of a tool. This is incredibly frustrating. The California hand surgeon told me in February "Perhaps with a new operation and a bone graft..." I don't think things are going to work again. There is an eleven inch long titanium plate in there and a half dozen bolts.

This hydraulic jack, device allows me to do things with one hand. I can live awhile without it, but come September, I am going to need it.

This thing could be shipped, from Regina, to Vancouver, then find someone coming down into the USA a lot quicker than it would in Saskatchewan. BTW I hold Saskatchewan as my "Holy Temple" of producing the finest bread making flour on the planet. The folks there are nice too. Over my life I have met several dozens of folks and they have batted 1000.

Once it gets to the USA I can schedule a pickup via UPS to have it shipped to the San Diego area.

Thanks Folks!
