Yea their conversion rate sucks. I only use when I need USD. Also keep in mind when the dollars arrive you have to fill out a form online and choose the option "deposito de residente en el exterior". That's the only option that let's you receive dollars. Other options conver to pesos at the...

I think the last time I did a $3,600 transfer and they charged me $40. So net $3,560

If its the first time transferring to that bank account then you should keep it below $1K. After that you can make larger transfers, but I would still split into 2-3 if you can. They use an algorithm to highlight potentially risky transfers. I dont have it 100% figured out, but the above...

This looks perfect. Thanks guys!

Any recommendations on where to buy big & tall clothing for men? Looking for semi formal to formal. I would normally buy when I visit the US, but haven't been back due to the pandemic. Starting to get a bit desperate lol.

Tinaco.com.ar has several types of imported cheddar plus the local la suerte. My favorite store in Argentina

Does anyone know what the rules are for traveling/renting a weekend house within the Province you live in? I live in provincia de Buenos Aires and am wondering if I am allowed to rent an Airbnb in a barrio cerrado in Pilar or surrounding area for the weekend. Would love to have some open space...

I dont know about USPS, but FedEx is working well enough. Books would probably be pricey though

I recently received a package from my family. It had 4 spice bottles and a kitchen towel. $400 shipping plus 200 some pesos in tax upon delivery. 2 months to deliver

Everyone realizes he is just trolling, right?

Huawei E5573 https://articulo.mercadolibre.com.ar/MLA-788378651-modem-4g-huawei-e5573-wifi-vehicular-portatil-_JM I will report back once I have had a chance to test

Thanks for the advice everyone. I found a Huawei on mercado libre that looks promising and covers the bands that were mentioned here. I ended up going with a battery powered one (can also plug in permanently) as I figure I can use it for traveling once the pandemic ends in 20 years....though it...

Does anyone have any recommendations for a 4G router/modem? We are planning on renting a country house that doesnt have wifi. Owner says cell phone signal is decent. I could use the hotspot on my phone, but prefer not to have to rely on that/have to leave my phone at the house if I leave the...

If youre going to pay upfront make sure you get a contract that states this. If possible get the contract certified by an escribano. You don't want the owner pretending you only paid them 1 month

Honest question: Would a clause like that have any legal standing given Argentine rent laws heavily favor the renter? Also would renters really be willing to sign something like that?

This article says you as the owner can only cancel the contract for one of 3 reasons. Misuse (running a business in an apartment with a residential rental contract), abandonment by the renter and if they stop paying rent. So you cannot cancel the contract because you want to live there. Your...

A couple more to add to the list: Onneg salads/dips. They have really good coleslaw, egg salad, hummus and a tangy green salad with cucumbers and onions. They have a bunch of other products, but those are the ones I have tried. Mikonos feta cheese. I recommend the sheep's milk (they also have...

I got hot and spicy doritos delivered last night by Glovo. Honestly in the 2.5 years I've been here I've seen all of my favorite imported products run out randomly. English Cheddar was in the store for 3 months and then dissapeared for awhile came back and dissapeared again. I'm not sure...

I use vyprvpn by goldenfrog and it was worked well for me for years

One place I can reccomend is Fresco Market. It is not exactly quality Argentine products because they don't make their own products but it is related because you can buy a lot of the "quality products" mentioned in this thread from them, plus lots of organic vegetables and products. The only...
