How to shop US online stores if you live in Mexicali
Updated: July 2026 · 4 minute read
Quick answer
Ship your orders to an address on the US side of the border: many US stores do not ship to Mexico or charge steep international rates, but nearly all of them ship within the US. Park Calexico receives your UPS, FedEx, DHL, and Amazon packages steps from the Calexico port of entry – you register once for $10 a year and pick up whenever you cross, with your photo ID and tracking number.
Why receive at the border instead of in Mexicali?
Many US online stores do not offer shipping to Mexico, and those that do often charge international rates, take longer, or route the import through a middleman. Shipping to a Calexico address lets you buy like any US customer: domestic shipping – often free – with no surprises in between.
Our lot sits next to the port of entry, so picking up your package becomes part of a crossing you already make.
Which carriers deliver to Park Calexico?
UPS, FedEx, DHL, Amazon, and other approved private carriers. Note: we do not accept USPS mail or letters – if the store ships via postal mail, choose a different shipping option at checkout. We also do not accept government documents, perishables, hazardous materials, firearms, or alcohol.
