As the most densely populated country in Central America El Salvador borders the significantly less populated countries of Guatemala and Honduras. Of course, they share much of the same ancient, Pre-Columbian history. The Pipil people who preceded the Aztecs called this region 'Kozkatlan' which is a Nahuatl word for 'The Place of Precious Jewels'. The period of European Contact was one of great turmoil for much of the indigenous population as the introduction of smallpox resulted in around 80% of the population to die of the disease.
Also during this period the country of what we call El Salvador was part of the Captaincy General of Guatemala, and it wasn't until 1811 that a major act to gain independence was seen. However, the 1811 Independence Movement was put down. Three years later it fought for independence again but this time with Honduras, Nicaragua also taking part. But it wasn't until seven years that those countries joined the Federal Republic of Central America.
Skipping forward to the later part of the Twentieth Century El Salvador followed many other nations in the region, and in South America, with a coup d'état. This period bought great struggles to the country and it wasn't until the return of democracy and the economic reforms that followed that the population started to see a general increase in living standards.
This all contributes to the level of economic trade between the UK and El Salvador. That said, there is still a great deal of corruption being reported and a need for the national government to prop up some industries. It is not to belittle the achievements of the El Salvadorian government as the nation still has the third largest economy in the region - behind Costa Rica and Panama.
As you are trying to find a courier to send items into foreign countries it is essential that you understand and comply with not only our own conditions of carriage and restricted/prohibited items list, but also that of the El Salvador government. You can find a guide in English here. You should take particular attention to items with magnets in, batteries, personal effects, hazardous toiletries, lottery tickets and money. It is your obligation, however, to ensure that you are aware and comply with the current list. You can find more about that here or contact them direct at usuario.dga @ mh.gob.sv Tel: 2244-5182.
Heavy Parcel to El Salvador in a matter of a few days and miles cheaper than anyone else. Top Notch experience
It was very easy to set up the package details, the contents and the sender/receiver details. Even better it creates the invoice/customs documents. All went like clockwork.... Including customs clearance
Easy and straightforward to organise a parcel delivery, print own label and dropping it off at the Post Office. I chose Parcelforce which was very efficient. For my second parcel, I had a little problem with the limited number of spaces to fill in the address and I couldn’t complete it as address was longer so had to go to Parcelforce’s own site to order a delivery which is slightly higher priced. Would have preferred to use Parcel Monkey for the better prices. Please sort out the forms filling, thanks.
The ordering, price and pick up was fine. There was no mention that the recipient in France would have to pay €15 for the package to be delivered with no reason stated. The parcel had not been opened by the French authorities. The contents of the package was well within the declared weight and size. The contents value was accurately described and valued and within the value limits, all accurately declared on the export form that was clearly attached to the parcel. The contents were redirected mail and childrens clothes. I still do not know why the delivery charge was made.
Simple worked 24 hours later delivered
