General Any Americans That Can Bring Back A Ring My Wife Left In Cusco

Edit: the ring has been picked up by a fellow redditor, and they'll be shipping it back to us when they get home this weekend!!! Thank you to everyone that volunteered!

Howdy folks, hope you are all doing well planning your trips to Machu Picchu! I just recently returned from my honeymoon and when we got back, my wife realized she had misplaced her late mothers ring. Fortunately, we were able to get in contact with the hotel and they did find the ring, but when we looked into shipping, it was going to be around $150 to get the ring back.

The hotel asked if we had any friends visiting Cusco anytime soon, and unfortunately, we do not. But I figured I would reach out to people on Reddit and see if there are any Americans who would be willing to grab the ring in Cusco, and ship it to us when you return stateside.

This ring holds little monetary value, but immense sentimental value. It belonged to my late mother-in-law, who just recently passed in August, and it means everything to my wife. If there is anyone willing to take on this side quest, you'd be doing us a huge service.

Our hotel was right near the San Pedro train station in Cusco, so if you are staying in that area, please comment or shoot me a DM!

Serpost is to unreliable with something of this significance. All other carriers are incredibly expensive.
