Venesa Contreras delivers — all the way to Peru.
She regularly travels to her native country from Utah bearing packages from customers who drop into her shop and pay her to personally carry them.
Laptop computers, Mormon missionary books, dolls, pistachios, wafer cookies — all have been delivered more than 4,000 miles away.
"I know it's going to get there," said Mirtha Rasmussen of Sandy, who moved from Peru in the 1980s. "It's a great peace of mind."
Contreras, 24, started the service about four years ago to raise money to visit a man in Peru. The romance faded, but she continued to travel and promoted the business with fliers at Hispanic markets and restaurants.
In 2005, Contreras opened El Inka International Market. The tiny market, south of downtown, sells Peruvian grocery items, gifts and souvenirs, from alpaca scarves to chocolate bars and tea made from tree bark.
It is also where customers drop off packages.
A package sent through El Inka costs $5 per pound. About three times a month, Contreras takes about 125 pounds on a 12-hour flight to Peru. At an office in Lima, people can pick up or send packages.
Contreras said people in Utah and Peru who haven't seen each other in years still can exchange gifts and greetings.
"It makes you appreciate life more," she said, describing her personal satisfaction.
In Salt Lake City, Noe Sabuco recently sent Barbie dolls to his nieces. He also receives packages from his wife and children in Peru.
"All you can do is hold it and think, 'My family touched this, Sabuco said.
