Speed may feel like safety. But in cross-border shipping to Mexico, it often just means paying more for confidence you haven't earned yet.

In this episode of LatAm Unboxed, Diego Rodríguez speaks with Leslie Foxhoven, Latin America Executive Director at Asendia and a 35-year veteran of international parcel networks and e-commerce logistics, about why most US brands shipping to Mexico are not executing a strategy — they are managing anxiety.

The conversation unpacks why brands instinctively default to either cheap postal or expensive express, how both choices quietly erode margin or customer experience, and what a smarter, data-driven middle ground actually looks like for the Mexico market — including why updated customs knowledge, vetted carrier networks, and the right delivery promise can align conversion, margin, and customer trust at once.
