About SkyPostalFreights
SkyPostalFreights
Brief History
Albert P. Hernandez began his career in 1964 as a delivery boy for Choice Messenger Service in New York City. Quickly moving up the ranks within Choice, in 1970, he started the Air Courier division and two years later started the company’s international division focusing on Latin America. In 1983, he and an investor group bought the courier division and merged with Sky Courier Network in Virginia. In 1988, Sky Courier Network was sold to Airborne, but not including the network of representatives Albert had found and cultivated through the years. It was with that network of top notch local representation throughout Latin America that he created SkyNet Worldwide Express in Miami. Since then that network has developed into a world class collection of the finest customs and delivery partners in over 120 countries around the world.
Albert’s son A.J., after a brief baseball career with the California Angels, graduated from college and began to work for the business. He was charged with developing a new service, to be called SkyBox. This service offered clients in Latin America an address in the U.S. in which they could receive mail and merchandise as if they lived in the U.S. By 1996, the SkyBox business was doing over $1 million a year and it was spun off into a separate company and eventually sold to LanChile.
In 2001, the Hernandez’ created SkyPostalFreights to capitalize on the need for improved and efficient cross border mail and parcel services to all countries in Latin America, the Caribbean and Mexico from the United States and Europe. Their goal was to create a new standard for time-defined delivery of mail and parcels in the Americas.
Today SkyPostalFreights is the largest private mail and parcel delivery network in America serving European postal administrations, major publishers, the world’s largest e-tailers, international shippers and financial institutions who require reliable and secure delivery of their mail and parcels.

Some Fequently Asked Questions
We can offer a signature confirmation service at an higher cost than standard delivery confirmation in several countries. Please inquire regarding specific countries for pricing and availability.
In every country we serve you are guaranteed an electronic delivery confirmation with data and time and name of person accepting package.
Our service offers a minimum of two delivery attempts one every parcel, while in some countries we are able to guarantee three attempts. For information on a particular country, please contact us.
We have customers who ship directly from many countries in Europe and Asia, bypassing our Miami hub. Our Miami hub can and should be used when low volumes do not justify flying direct. In these cases, Miami serves as a freight consolidator by adding your volume to our daily volume to Latin America.
PO boxes are serviced exclusively by Postal channels. In certain countries, i.e. Brazil, SkyPostal utilizes the services of the Postal service for some or all of their deliveries. In those cases, deliveries can be made to PO Boxes as well as home or business addresses. Contact us to find out in which countries we have this capability.
Currently we do not offer a pick up service. Check back with us in a couple of months as it is being worked on in a couple of our major countries.
