Anyone from Ecuador here?
 

I need some assistance on the proper format when addressing an envelope being sent there. Would this be correct?

The name and street address I understand, but the city/state/zip I am not too sure about.

Coming from our form it says:

Guayaquil GUA 00000 Ecuador

Would I just eliminate the 00000 and all would be well? Or should I eliminate the GUA as well?

You have to know the name of the mule that the sack of mail is carried on to your destination.

Example:
Ivaro DeCampos
604 y Avenida Reina
Pedenernales
Burro Sancho
ECUADOR

That plus a separate envelope addressed to the local Policia with a small bribe to ensure its delivery.

hahahaha

thank you

zip code 0000 is correct cause there they don´t have zip code....

So wouldn't you just omit it altogether?

Having been to Ecuador a number of times let me tell you it wont matter how you address the envelope because it will get stolen before its delivered :helpme

That is pretty much what I am afraid of since I am sending them a check. I just wish they would answer their email.

if is a check a fedex or dhl will be okay, never postoffice...

and with fedex the zip code 0000 works fine as we don´t have zip code neither in my country and always arrives okay :winkwink:

and state in blank or GUA I think is okay too, they will know what do to...

Well, I am not sending it FedEx, so there could be a problem.

It may be wise to register it if thats possible? I love Ecuador and Peru but they do love to steal stuff, its like their national sport and the police could care less.

This is one of those occasions that I wish someone accepted epass. Again, if they would respond to their emails it would help a lot.

"couldn't care less", ie, they care so little that caring less is not possible. One of the most frequently misused English phrases!
