Anyone heard of Ocasa?

Just got this from Google:

Hello,

Recently, your AdSense payments have been mailed to you via
FedEx. As the result of improvements we are making to our
payments system, we are unable to mail your February earnings
payment via FedEx.

Beginning in March, your payments will be mailed via the
courier delivery service OCASA. There will be no charge for the
cost of mailing payments with OCASA, and we anticipate that
publishers will receive their checks within 7-10 days of the
mailing date. Please note that no tracking numbers will be
available for payments mailed by OCASA.

Thank you for your understanding. We apologize for any
inconvenience.

Sincerely,
The Google AdSense Team

I'll miss the Fedex guy, Quite a nice person :D

Nice... so is it true that when you make $10k+/month, you get the FedEx service? :) I've never hit $10k, so I wouldn't know.

Well, Fryman is in Mexico, so it could be different in other countries. I'd imagine that Ocasa is a local courier to Mexico (could be wrong).

I'm in Costa Rica and even though they send me the check via FedEx, once it arrives in Costa Rica, it's given to a local delivery service called CONDOR.

I have searched Ocasa and apparently they are a courier service based in Argentina, but they have offices in several places, including Miami FL and San Diego CA.

The weird thing is that the only web site I found was the one of the Brazilian office and it seems to be not even finished: http://www.ocasa.com.br/

OCA S.A. is an argentine private corrier. I have my adsense address in Argentina so I received the same email, but I m not sure they operate also in Mexico (I doubt it). I never saw a violet guy delivering while I was there 3 months studuying last year.

I supose the email they sent you was wrong, instead of sending you the Mexican new courier template, they sent you the argentine one.

By the way the website of OCA S.A. is (www.oca.com.ar). I won´t comment about Yabran´s peculiar history (OCA founder) because it would be completely off topic

I have never heard of OCASA here, so I found it very strange for Google to be using them

[hanyixin]

You can use Google to find the answer :)

[fryman]

Will using Google change the fact that I have never heard of Ocasa in Mexico?

Those idiots haven't sent me my check after more than a week. I emailed adsense support about this, I hope I get a decent reply and not just some robot emailing me back

I guess direct deposit into bank accounts will be the future option for everyone. It's easier to trace back when something goes wrong.
Priority mail or first class mail are what it says and safer then registered mail. Most mail lost is registered mail (according to an international statistic).

so is it true that when you make $10k+/month, you get the FedEx service? Not necessarily. Everyone I've met who gets over the threshold has a UPS delivery. I haven't heard of a Google FedEx delivery in the US since September '04.

They changed to UPS in the USA, but kept using FEDEX for international publishers
