Just a couple of 'follow up' points for you benlilley which I trust will be helpful
1. I HOPE the 'post' you are referring to relates to EPS, FedEx, Business mail or similar PRIVATE postal service rather than the National Postal System! The latter MAY cause you a few sleepless nights.
2. Keep Metro Bus service & Caribe Tours in mind when needing to get a package from point 'a' to point 'b' in this country. I find MetroPak & Caribe Tours very useful when wanting to get documents & goods to friends throughout the country. I am sure the 'Lady' who made the offer to you would have taken the adapter to her local bus station & sent it to the one nearest to you - just a thought for the future.
3. Just to clear up what might be a misconception in your mind - DR1 contributors are not 'SUPPOSED' to offer help. They are not OBLIGED to respond with helpful information - they do so because they WANT to or they LIKE being helpful. There are some 20,000 plus 'members' on DR1 & around 18,000 never post let alone offer help on ANY subject. Generally any 'attitude' that appears on a thread is a result of the information/advice giver feeling that the information given is being ignored or rejected out of hand. A quick response to say 'Thanks, I'll follow that through' or 'comments noted & helpful - thanks' would reduce greatly the possibility of 'attitude' getting in to a thread!
Thank you for your feedback & I hope all goes well with your POST. If it doesn't arrive in 4 weeks, you might find it necessary to order another one & ask DR1 members coming from the States (or England) if they would mind bringing one down/over for you. ~ Grahame.
