Thanks for the response. We're going to reach out to a despanchante and will see what they say.

Does anyone have any updated information on this? I want to take two paintings (each around 150cm x 80 cm) out of Argentina to Spain. I paid around USD 300 for each. They can't be rolled as the paint is quite textured and they would crack. Are there companies that can help with this? I don't...

Came back to BA from Houston at the end of August without any problems, although a few people were denied boarding because they didn't have the correct documentation (PCR + DDJJ).

I absolutely advise against doing this. In 2018 my wife and I sent two large boxes of clothes from London to BA via Parcelforce. We were moving over here but travelling for a couple of months first so didn't want to carry them with us. The boxes got stuck in customs for months. We talked to...

I brought a PS4 through EZE in November with no troubles. Put it through the scanner at customs - either they didn't see it or didn't care.

Any updates on ATM withdrawals? I had been reliably using Galicia to withdraw 8,000ARS each time, paying a fee of around 400ARS. This last week Galicia appears to have started to restrict withdrawals to 4,000 per time (I have tried five different Galicias, and this has been the case at four...

I've been with Fibertel for about three months now and have been really happy with it. The 100MB package actually delivers 100MB/S consistently, which I've never had with internet providers in Europe. I work from home so am online most of the day, and I can only recall about two hours downtime...

I've been asked to help plan a tour for a small London-based indie rock band at the end of this year. But having only arrived in BA a couple of months ago, I'm not really sure where to start. They are looking for a couple of shows in Buenos Aires, probably in December. They have provisional...

Thanks - I'll check it out and report back.

Probably a long shot, but is there anywhere in BA to purchase ingredients for Thai food - lemongrass, lime leaves, Thai basil, curry pastes, etc.? I've had a look in a couple of supermarkets in Chinatown with no luck.

I see a lot of threads here asking the best place to swap dollars for pesos. I have a slightly different requirement: I need $1,000 in cash. I have a UK bank account and don't particularly want to withdraw ARS and then swap for $$$, as most ATMs only allow me to withdraw ARS 4,000 a time and...

Probably a stupid question, but: I've booked the Buquebus to Colonia this weekend. They've emailed the e-tickets - do I need to find somewhere to print these out or will they accept a scan off my phone as at airports?

Hi everyone - have just signed a contract for an apartment in Las Cañitas and need to sort out internet. Is DitecTV fast and reliable? Are others better? If you go for another option, is it still possible to get DirecTV channels (keen on their Premier League football).
