Colombian Postal Service

I just wanted to relate a story. A few weeks ago I mailed my Colombian fiancee a cell phone. I just boxed it up, went to the post office, and sent it by air-mail. After I mailed it, I came accross a post on here that described horror stories concerning items getting "lost" in the mail down there. Needless to say, I was terrified because it was a brand-new unlocked quad-band Motorola 550 camera phone. A couple of weeks later, it arrived in perfect shape. I thought about using Jetbox, but I couldn't understand the website well enough. Are there any courier services that have understandable websites? Perhaps in English?
