From my experience, I think packing method plays a huge role in how shipments end up at the destination. Lots of packing fill and try not to pack a box full of (especially fragile) heavy equipment.
I may be wrong but from the photo album, it looks like all/many of your machines & monitor(s) were shoved into one shipping box. That's a bad idea. Heavier boxes tend to get munched a lot easier (carboard box strength being what it is). So one computer or monitor per box with lots of packing!
In BC Canada, local telco has a program for do-it-yourself ADSL connection where you purchase a $400 CAD modem from any electronic store (or wherever), hook it up yourself instead of getting on a waiting list for a telco techie to connect it for you (how hard is plugging in a couple of cables to a modem??), and the telco credits your account for $300 CAD. That'd be $100 CAD for the modem then. What is that, like $2 USD?? Not worth the effort of shipping a modem to Canada. I don't know ADSL availability in Mexico. Might be viable option.
