As many people find out, shipping a package from the United States to Cuba is a frustrating and inconsistent experience.  Many people end up posting on travel message boards, asking around to try to find someone who is headed to Cuba and will be able to hand deliver their package.  Although the USPS technically delivers to Cuba, the deliveries are often spotty, and people frequently complain of missing or damaged packages.  One person even went so far as to mail a pair of shoes one at a time to make sure that both shoes arrived safely!

As an owner of a website for a hair care product, I am frequently asked, “where can I buy mira hair oil in Cuba?”  Unfortunately, the product is not available in stores so the only delivery option is through the mail, thus making it extremely difficult for Cubans to get a hold of.  One can only hope that shipping between the two countries will improve in the future.
