About Colonia Anexa 20 de Noviembre, Tijuana
Anexa 20 de Noviembre is the extension laid out beside Colonia 20 de Noviembre, and it carries a civic function its parent does not: the Juzgados Civiles y Familiares — the civil and family courts — sit inside its boundary, with their own access road.
Forty-nine hectares between Boulevard de las Américas Oriente, Boulevard Federico Benítez López and the Vía Rápida Poniente. Alongside the courts are the Colegio Internacional de Tijuana, the Centro Internacional de Estudios Superiores, three small plazas — Plaza La Once, Plaza Andrea, Plaza San José — and a strip of car dealers and furniture traders on Avenida Industrial.
Courts, colleges and traders give the colonia a working-day rhythm and a mixed order book: office and legal supplies, teaching materials, and the vehicle and furniture parts that the businesses along Avenida Industrial source from U.S. sellers.
Colonia Anexa 20 de Noviembre covers 49 hectares in the La Mesa delegación, bordered by 20 de Noviembre, Alfonso Corona del Rosal, El Prado Este and El Prado. Boulevard de las Américas Oriente and Boulevard Federico Benítez López carry the colonia, and the routed drive to the store is 4.7 miles — about 8 minutes of driving, with the border wait separate and reported live on this site.

Will I be told when a parcel arrives?
Yes — you are notified, so the crossing happens when there is something to collect.
Can more than one person collect?
Yes, once each person is named on the mailbox agreement.
