    Donating to the Salvation Army

    Awesome suggestion. I just dropped off a bunch of clothes to the 1260 O'Brien Constitución Salvation Army store. Glad to hear they do pickups too as I have a bunch of kitchen items and "mom" gifts I'd like to donate. Their WhatsApp +54 9 11 2682-2034

    Donating old non-functioning PCs and Laptops

    I have 4 desktop PCs and 2 laptops, none of them work. Is there any repair shops that would take them for parts? I don't want any money for them, I was going to donate them to a school, but none of them work and I don't suppose a school would want non-working computers. I think 2 of the...

    Covid Vaccination Argentina

    Hello Everyone! I took Ron in his for second booster 2 months ago at the Recoleta Cultural Center and it was crazy busy, huge lines, and the girl at the help desk was not very helpful to me because I didn't have an appointment and she couldn't find me in the computer to make me one. I think...

    Where To Buy A Computer

    I built my own computers 20 years ago when it was pretty "easy", but now-a-days with all the options, I wouldn't know hot to research the best motherboard, sound card, graphics card, memory, etc... and hardware compatibility and reliability between all the devices. There are just too many...

    Where To Buy A Computer

    Hello, I'd like to buy a new custom built Windows 11 desktop computer. I searched Mercdo Libre but can't find what I want prebuilt. I know about Galeria Jardin on Florida and have been there many times, but can anyone recommend a specific business there that they had a good experience with...

    Consumer Protection Agency for consumer purchases

    Originally I saw a posting on MercadoLibre for the electric oven. However, when I tried to purchase it, it failed, so I contacted them through their company's website. That is when they said I couldn't buy it through MercadoLibre, I had to pay them directly. At the time I wasn't thinking...

    Consumer Protection Agency for consumer purchases

    Thanks Edu! I have the bank receipts for when I made the bank transfer, and that lists their CUIT/CUIL ID so I'm hoping that will be sufficient.

    Consumer Protection Agency for consumer purchases

    Thanks for the information Steve. This has actually been going on since September 2021! The box the oven arrived in looked damaged so I took many photos of the box before opening, and then when I opened the box the oven door glass was broken. I should have had the delivery guy open the box...

    Consumer Protection Agency for consumer purchases

    Hello, I purchased a new gas stovetop (anafe) and a large built in electric oven from a company called Tysan2. They wanted me to pay them directly with a bank to bank transfer, even though they had the items listed on MercadoLibre. They said I couldn't purchase the items through MercadoLibre...

    Buying a property in Buenos Aires

    I didn't realize we had them at this latitude. I thought they needed a more tropical climate. If I found one of those in my apartment, I'd just just the door and sell the place. I'm all for sharing my kitchen with Fred, but we all have our limits and mine is a 5" tarantula!

    Buying a property in Buenos Aires

    My step dad told me that spiders are good luck and would never kill one, if my mom really freaked out about a spider, Bob would pick it up and carry him/her outside. We had a large spider that took up home in our kitchen. I called him Fred. Fred would come out every night while we washed the...

    Best way to send money to Argentina from UK

    Excellent information, thanks jblaze! When I used xoom the money did go directly into my Buenos Aires Santander account, so it was safe and easy, so it looks like I'll look into WU next time to compare rates and fees. It's always good to have backup options, it's why I tried xoom in the first...

    Need US legal documents, POA, notarized

    Girino mentioned above, just google "online notaries", I did and it seems there are many options to get USA documents notarized online from abroad but I haven't checked them out yet, that's this weekend's project. Good luck! I'll try and post my findings next week as I really need to get some...

    Best way to send money to Argentina from UK

    Hello jblaze, I heard WU is getting easier/cheaper to use, but what exchange rate do they give you on the transferred money? Is it close to the blue dollar rate or do they use the official Argentina peso exchange rate? It makes a huge difference.
