I would suggest using an international shipping service such as DHL. If it can be avoided, I do not use the regular postal service via the Bolivian post office, as they open packages to determine tax amount. At times, the post office will apply a tax that exceeds the cost of the product, so that you are forced to leave without it.
If you MUST use the postal service, be sure your package is marked "REGALO" (gift) on the outside. This should allow you to retrieve it from the post office without paying tax. In any case, get a detailed description of the package shipping addresses, tracking number, & contents (translated into Spanish) so that you can leave a copy with the post office IN ADVANCE of package arrival. This should deter the post office staff from taking your package home & telling you that it never arrived.
