Selling comic books in Laredo
Laredo is the largest inland port on the southern border and the busiest commercial crossing in the country, with trade and trucking dominating the economy entirely. It is overwhelmingly bilingual and gets extremely hot in summer.
Trade and trucking employment runs on contract cycles, and the cross-border movement of families means households are set up and cleared on both sides. Heat shortens the life of anything stored without cooling.
Driving is assumed and commercial truck traffic congests the crossing approaches heavily. Summer heat is severe, so agree an early morning or evening slot.
Laredo, in Texas, has around 255,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Houston, San Antonio and Dallas are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Laredo
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
