Charlie Doggett
Physical Address:
105 Roca Verde #2, Atenas, Alajuela, 20501 COSTA RICA (No postal mail here please. But DHL, UPS and FedEx prefer or require a street address, though I still sometimes have to go pick it up at one of their related offices. But they are efficient.) This address ends Nov. 23.
CHANGING THE WEEK OF 23 NOVEMBER (for mail & everything):
Charlie Doggett, Apartamento 315
Edificio Verdeza a mano derecha
De Oficentro El Cedral, 1 km al oeste
Trejos Montealegre, Escazú
10203 Costa Rica
I move into a Senior Adult Apartments that last week of November. My telephone and email stays the same.
Postal Mail Address:
My PO Box in Atenas ends the last of November, so best to use the above new address, especially from the States with the mail slower now from there.
Since Trump 2, mail from the states is much slower than in the past. Seems he doesn’t like international. But that is now the only way you can send paper letters to me. The U.S. private address through Aeropost used to accept both letters and packages, but now only accept packages.
USA Private Address: Contact me if a limited use is needed for a USA address for packages only. It is at an expensive courier service, Aeropost in Miami. I pay the overseas shipping and import taxes on merchandise I order on the internet and personal packages sent from family or friends to a Miami address. Or for those willing to pay the international rates, mail and packages can be sent to my new Costa Rica address through the post office DHL, UPS and FedEx.
For Atenas readers, starting in 2021 I have tried two local shipping services, a new one called Atenas Webshop (Now part of AWS Intl) and Costa Rica Shipping, both of which get the package to their offices. Aeropost recently added delivery to my house on packages! So I no longer have to go to Alajuela to pick up packages. 🙂 The two local ones are less expensive but slower than Aeropost, up to 2 weeks longer. All three give me a Miami address. I now use Aeropost almost exclusively, even though more expensive it, is more efficient! Once I get to Escazu I will have to try everything again to see what works best. 🙂
Email:
My website host service has advised me not to publish my email address here, so for security reasons. Use the secure form above and I will reply with my email address for you. Spammers have already gleaned my email address from the earlier listing here. But you will get it through the above Contact Form.
Phone:
(506) 8410-9916 (From the U.S. pre-dial 011)
I use WhatsApp & Regular Text Messages. WhatsApp is a free internet-based messaging program to avoid your phone charges like regular text messages, but you must have internet connection (Wifi) when using it.

¡Pura Vida!
