I sent myself some today when the markets opened before the WU rate dropped by 110 pesos. As always, they're slow to update when there's an increase, but super fast when there's a decrease, now at $1,219

It depends, with companies like UPS/FedEx it comes as an invoice like in most countries and you pay it when you pick up or online before hand, but I've only done it once with DHL and paid via credit card when picking it up. With Aerobox, I pay online via transferencia or when picking up (cash)...

Gonna be honest, you're probably going to spend thousands to see little if anything. If they got 30K out of you, odds are they got something much larger from someone else. As you've probably already come to realize, justice doesn't really exist in Argentina, at least not for the plebs, so the...

No, but it's important to keep in mind that Alibaba/AliExpress/Shein/Temu/etc. all enter Argentina via the Puerta a Puerta regime. You have a franchise of 12 deliveries a year, and each one is tax exempt for the first $50 USD. It's important to remember they take about a month to get here...

Last time I was on one there was no assigned seating, at least not in pleb class, and given how lazy Argentines are at cleaning up their trash after eating, I'd equally assume that the seat was abandoned too. You're more patient than I am, I would have asked her how she planned on getting...

I naturalized via marriage to an Argentine and as others have said, you gotta be inside the country, the judge/their secretaries will order your broder crossing history data from Migraciones, mine was the entire thing, all the way back to the early 2010s wen I entered via a Brazil, TAM flight...

Lunar is right, that isn't how this works, kid needs to be born first...

This is the main reason why I wish Argentina had the islands, so people would shut up about it and stop pretending that not having them is the reason we have problem X/Y/Z...

Maybe I'm dumb, but I've never understood why Argentina simply doesn't bribe the islanders, it's a tactic that has worked throughout human history - you catch more flies with honey than you do with vinegar after all. Last week, instead of spending 1.6 Billion on keeping the dollar cheap, the...

Merval closed down around 10%, country risk back up towards 1,000, CCL/MEP creeping towards $1,350, and Milei went all the way to Me-ah-me and got no picture with Trump. Almost all currencies appreciated against the dollar, except for Argentina, because, well, Argentina lol (real exchange rate...

The fact that Milei celebrated the 10% shows just how stupid he is, once again proving that degrees are only as valuable as the paper they're printed on. All this time kissing Trump's ass for what? The same treatment as people that have told Trump to fuck off. Colombia, Brazil, Chile, etc. all...

Pets are expensive

Sure, we have food prices comparable to Europe/the US, and a minimum wage of $227/month, but everybody knows INDEC stopped lying after Guillermo Moreno left and Milei became president, so now there is absolutely no reason to not believe them!

It is, and it's strange no politician has ever run on that idea before ;)

Incredible isn't it? Despite this intervention it still resulted in the MEP/CCL closing at $1,304 and $1,306 respectively. What does 1.3 billion dollars look like? Well... - You could rebuild Bahia Blanca 4 times - You could vaccinate 16,250,000 people against dengue - Build 52,000 units of...
