I agree completely with Debbie and Jeannie.
Mailing a package to yourself at a small island is risky at best.
And it's hugely unfair to ask the local post office to store 60-pound boxes for people who aren't even residents.
You can take an extra 50 pound bag/box on a major airline for $25 to San Juan. Once you're in PR, if you take the ferry there's no extra charge for that bag (though they are entitled by the rules to charge a couple bucks if there in the mood).
If you take a plane from PR to Culebra, they'll charge 40 cents per pound, I believe, so that adds $20.
So, you don't save any money by mailing it, and the risk of lateness or loss by the Post Office is much greater than the chance of the airline losing your bag/box.
