On line permit is simple. Like you are doing, fill out the paperwork. Provide credit card information. They charge your card the same amount as if you were at the border, and DHL the permits to your home in a couple of days. You then are asked to scan copies of your paperwork and send it to an e-mail address in DF. (just take photos and send those) You receive a thank you return e-mail.
We like it because we don't have to slow down because we have the permits.
Immigration? We go to Tijuana on a semi-regular basis because we are in San Diego. We were there just 2 weeks before our departure for the winter. We stopped as we walked across the border, had our papers done (hand written), and were told to pay for them at any bank before we left Mexico in 6 months. Took us less than 3 minutes for the two of us. Easy!
We crossed at Lukeville, and didn't have to stop anywhere for anything except gas, and breaks. It just makes life that much easier!
