In February the Wife and I sent our house 3 bedrooms, garage, living room, dining room and kitchen and the patio furniture, all of this cleared customs in San Ysidro and Tijuana customs via a broker and the Mexican Consulate permit and the trailer was sealed, at the check point they removed the seal, the driver called at 3:30 AM that the aduaneros wanted money $170.00 DLLS to unload the truck, so we sent money to a bank card at the Oxxo store.
Once the trailer was loaded in San Diego I took photos the rear to see if at any point it had been moved, when it got to Mexico City my nephew checked against the photos that we E-mailed and nothing had been touched, he asked the driver if anything had been moved, his statement was that they removed the seals and opened the doors and then asked for money to let the trailer leave.
We paid the mordida and the truck left minutes after the crooks got the money.
That's life in Mexico and the check points, asi es la vida, ni modo todos tienen que comer.
I am glad that they are tying to clean the Garitas Aduanales they are truly a disgrace.
