Nice guys, average to ok service…read more USPS packages are ok to drop off but, always ask when your FedEx, UPS, DHL packages will be picked up as even if you drop them off early in the afternoon before 3 or 4 pm, they may not be picked up. Not sure if the shipping companies are not picking them up or what the issue is but, if you are paying extra for overnight shipping, just make sure. Don't be surprised if your package sits there for 2-3 days after you dropped it off. Some days, they close at 4.30-5p. Convenient, high-traffic location, best if you drop off between 10-1 pm. Not for you if you are a small biz trying to get your packages before the end of the day. They have a great selection of boxes of all sizes and do a fine job at packaging.

I just found this art museum by chance. They don't seem to have a permanent collection of art but…read morethey do have these three really cool old houses that are furnished and you can walk around in, definitely worth the trip over. The admission is totally free they do except donations. Currently they have an exhibit of quilts from The national quilt Museum. It seems that they are quilts that were put into a contest and it's all of the finalists and the winners. They're beautiful works of art and you should check them out. This little museum is very quaint, everyone's very friendly and I highly recommend it.

The Hidalgo Pump House Heritage and Discovery Center is a great addition to this small town. This…read morelocation is being changed, remodeled, and repurposed to become more of a tourist attraction, but being kept with antique architecture that gives it a quaint but welcoming look. The pump house itself has a private parking lot and you can park for free. It's also free to walk around the outside of the pump house which provide many picture opportunities. However, if you are seeking this place out for event pictures (like a wedding photoshoot) then you do need to go to the front desk and ask for permission. I don't know, but I would imagine there might be some sort of fee involved. Though not quite a botanical garden, there are plenty of flora to look at, take pictures of, and enjoy. I have seen some pedal boats and kayaks in the river, but I have yet to see the business actually running, but I usually go after closing hours when walking as part of my exercise route. There is a small gazeebo that ends up at the river and other interesting paths to follow. A juxtaposition can be found once you bump into an actual fence that divides the US side of the river to Mexico's side of the river. This is a great place to propose to someone. They have an outdoor auditorium in which they will show free movies for children. Since you can access this location after hours, proposing to someone here makes it a beautiful reminder for your partner. Once you are done enjoying the sights, walking outside the pump house now offers the opportunity to frequent some of the local businesses that are growing around the area. There is a place really close by called Tikis which sells Mexican snacks, a tea house that has some sandwhiches and other meals, and a block further down is a crêperie called Creparis. Most of these businesses, though, close by 9:00 PM so plan ahead if you want to visit those locations. Also, since they are local emerging businesses and not chain restaurants, some don't offer the choice of paying with a credit card. I suggest you take at least 20 dollars cash with you. Over all, your night will be memorable and more so if you come during the Christmas time where they decorate entire blocks leading to this location. Enjoy.

U.S. border crossing to Reynosa, Mexico…read more Reynosa is a town that has grown on the opposite side of town. They have an HEB, Starbucks, Home Depot, Peter Piper Pizza, 7-11's, and more. While there really isn't much to do here, you can drive over to Progresso and use a toll road. If you live here, there is a nice cineplex and some good Mexican restaurants. When crossing over you do see armed agents on the Mexican crossing section, but I feel this is for one's own protection. You see this at most country border crossing from Europe to the United States. Wishing all safe and happy travels!

This review is regarding crossing into the USA from Mexico…read more This particular border crossing is preferred by those coming from Monterrey as they can avoid the Reynosa traffic. There are fewer lanes than the Reynosa/Hidalgo crossing, but usually it is sufficient unless it is a Mexican holiday or a day when more shoppers from Monterrey are coming into the US. I prefer this particular border crossing because you don't have all the vendors and others accosting you as at the Reynosa/Hidalgo bridge. It is a more pleasant wait in line. Be prepared to wait in line, especially during peak hours. That's just the nature of international crossing these days. Around Christmas time it could take hours as so many shoppers are coming to the US. The border agents have a tough job as there are so many trying to sneak illegal things or people across. But they are there for our protection, generally do a great job, and deserve our respect. If you want respect, be respectful and answer their questions.

I want to put 5 stars because they seem to truly want to help us. However, we get different answers…read moreto our questions depending on which agent we are asking. I suggest if you need clear instructions you can trust, ensure you ask an experienced knowledgeable person. Recommend requesting a supervisor. So far the agent at the window has been happy to get one. You can read the SSA POM and find your answer but I tried and found the answer to my question was not clear.
