Thanks. Does this apply only to Argentina? Would I be able to safely receive it in Uruguay or Brazil?

Would Brazil be safer to go there and receive? The DHL option is quite expensive BUT they claim they can get it through customs mafia. I'd be willing to pay that. Has anyone here tried? Speed is important of course, so is safety.

Might have someone FedEx me laptop I forgot in usa to Buenos Aires. How safe/reliable is this?

Does anyone know if the carniceria at PIAF or Covadongo has grass fed beef? Perry had some good suggestions above, but more options are always welcome.

OK but where do I find wild pork grass fed in nature and grass fed beef? Perry had some suggestions above which seem good, but if you know others please say.

Where do you find it in Buenos Aires? What butcher shop? Would pay the extra price. Number one priority is grass fed, organic important too but I need grass fed beef. Also interested in pastured/natural pork products.

It seems Transferwise can only work if you already have an Argie bank account...irrelevant to me since I don't... Anyone know the monthly limits for RIA (to send to yourself) and if they're a pain about bugging you for paperwork?

I mean by using localbitcoins ofc ...doing it directly with someone privately.

What about Bitcoin? Is it easy/reliable to sell in Buenos Aires? Can you sell only for pesos or are there people who would buy for dollars?

Thanks but what are the rules for this service? What are the limits, and can you send to yourself?

Can you send money to yourself with RIA?

THANKS for the reply. So Xoom and Ria...can you still send to yourself? I heard reports recently that they only accept if you get money sent from others like friends or family members.

Amazed to see $10 fees for each transaction at Banelco ATM's. And I assume the limit of any one transaction is 5000 pesos? This makes it very hard to have access to my own money without confiscatory fees. What's the solution? Any ATM's that don't have this fee? Can you still send money to...

I'm asking for an older woman from the USA who wants to come do implants/crown etc. work in Argentina because it's too expensive in the USA. Anyone done this here or know someone who has? Looking for a dentist of high repute/competence who is reliable, obv she's worried about coming to a foreign...

yes achuras are great in Argentina but not all places do them well. Already asked for suggestion.

Actually this is an interesting question. What happens if someone doesn't have either a) the cash to pay or b) the money to pay? Will they not let them leave the country? Or what?

Idk like I said I've tried a few highly-rated burger places in Palermo, full of people, and it was nearly inedible. They have no idea how to make a burger, the meat itself is all wrong, and I do believe they all cut corners and use meat past the sell-by date.

Point is McDonald's burgers are superior to the "gourmet" burgers you find in Buenos Aires. Julian--I read some of your other posts. The point isn't what the rate was in 1975 when Argentina was in a state of civil war. Prices are now 3-4x what they were in 2010 and even much higher than they...

I've tried a number of the highly-rated burger places in Palermo "Soho" and they're all bad. Shake Shack in USA for example is far superior (and cheaper). McDonald's makes tastier burgers here. Where can I get the best-quality achuras plate? Fervor had the best one I've tried yet, but curious...

I'm not sure you're correct! I did overstay my visa once many years ago and when I left for Uruguay with Buquebus, I paid them directly in cash, not through the Bank. I also think they must accept credit card even if they don't encourage it. Otherwise, what would happen if someone leaving simply...
