I had one bad experience with Amazon US here .... it was an item sold by a 3rd party vendor and it was not Prime. They put it thru US and MX postal and it was 3+ months late. Now, I only use Prime mostly with Amazon Mexico as I find better prices there when I search by the Mexican/Spanish name for the item. I am also expanding my vocabulary 🏆 Never a bad experience using Prime at Amazon MX or Amazon US.

Ordering from Amazon US is no problem and very reliable. They sometimes use DHL but more and more they use "AMZMX" which presumably is their own shipping service using local contractors. I have found both to be reliable, although AMZMX is less trackable. I find that if the same product is available from Amazon US and Amazon Mexico, it's usually a little cheaper to order from Amazon US, including paying the shipping and "estimated" duty. I have actually had refunds of a few cents when the duty was below the estimate paid. As Joco said, if you set your default shipping address to a Mexican address, you will be informed whether a product will ship to Mexico as soon as you view it. Most things that are shipped by Amazon will ship here, but items shipped by third parties may not.

I ordered recently from Amazon.com.mx. The product had to come from the US so Amazon put it in the US postal service and then in the Mexican postal system. It took a month to reach this area and then the Mexican postal service didn't know whether I had to pick it up In Ajijic or Jocotepec as both denied they had it. Maybe stick to products that aren't imported.

Amazon US is great. Just make sure you enter your MX shipping address so you are told when looking at a product if it can be shipped to Mexico. It is better to click on "Ship to Mexico" on the left menu and the seller, "Amazon.com." Shipping from an Amazon warehouse is cheaper and faster. It always is shipped with DHL. If it is shipped by another vendor it can cost more and might not be DHL. Once DHL has the order you can count on it being delivered within 3 days and that is regular shipping, not Prime.
