According to Álvaro Coghi, CEO Correos de Costa Rica, "... most companies in the sector are more focused on providing services for the Greater Metropolitan Area (GAM)."
However, "... the coverage and services of companies such as Novus Mensajería (its closest competitor locally) and others such as DHL, and JetBox and Aerocasillas is strong."

Eugenia León, Novus Mensajería’s legal representative, told Elfinancierocr.com that "... Correos does represent the strongest competitor, but they are counteracting this situation as they have greater flexibility and responsiveness to the needs of their customers, both in terms of schedules and responsiveness. "

While Aerocasillas has a commitment to online shopping, Jetbox focuses on "... the opening of physical branches in the metropolitan area and beyond, and DHL on deliveries by air."
