Can anyone recommend a good oil based polyurethane paint for an exterior furniture (heavy duty planter shelving unit) that's meant to be soaked in the rain and bombarded with UV light? White polyurethane pops to mind but I could be wrong. Would be nice if someone has experience with Argentine...

I suspected that to be the case, thanks for your insight, I'll probably end up buying foreign tools here even though the imports are so terribly overpriced. I was thinking about getting domestic brands at first but their quality and durability are questionable. The sellers on Mercado Libre and...

like how long is long? i'm obviously not flying so it has to be shipped if they aren't going to charge me for its value there.

Hi guys, My dad happens to have a 220 V saw that I can make use of here but I worry I'd be forced to pay more money at Argentine customs. It's an old saw, not a new product or anything, what are the risks? I've never had anything shipped from Canada, just heard a bunch of terrible stories. Thanks.

I've experienced the same kind of inadequate treatment time and time again, the customer service is horrendous here, as if it's some kind of norm. the customer needs to beg and have an infinite patience just to find out later that whatever it is that he/she is looking for is unavailable or...

Steve, Ha! The person in the link seems to use "endulzantes" which I categorically stay away from because the idea of true keto is to not rely on any type of sweetener, especially because argentina's food industry is so under-regulated that suppliers can package and repackage just about...

Thanks for the insight Daniel, this is probably one of the most encouraging responses I've got thus far, yes I'm looking into becoming a monotributista eventually, once it picks up a bit more.

Oh please, do yourself a favor and order one of my freshly made no-bake cheesecakes and do not worry about my low-key business profile.

I don't need my citizenship not will I get deported for making no-bake cakes, thanks for the scare tactic.

Argentine delivery services do not provide guarantees and if they mess up my cake I would be the one to take the heat from frustrated customers, too risky, not sure what to do about that.

So far I'm able to maintain a small volume of orders from people on Instagram, but most of them don't like the idea of having to drive all the way to Floresta to pick up their cake. I definitely need to promote the product locally somehow, word-of-mouth like you say is timeless and very...

lol...

I do have DNI, I'm a permanent resident of Argentina, without it I wouldn't be able to charge customers through PagoFacil, no cash accepted.

well, such can be the case even if the product is perfectly regulated, we are talking about people mentally predisposed to take legal action at the slightest imaginary whim. My cheesecakes are technically keto, meaning relatively low on glycemic index for not containing any flour nor sugar so...

I appreciate your responses, this is interesting, I wonder why would anyone sue me specifically for not being registered? And what does "above board" mean? Don't get me wrong, I wish I could feel comfortable and safe enough to operate legally, I just don't. I'm scared.

As a foreigner working from home (no shop), I wonder what do I need a legal permit for? So that someone would sue me on false accusations? This is not Canada. Argentina is a country where the law is too relative depending on luck. There are people in cahoots with well-trained lawyers who go...

Again, I don't carry stock. My product is made from scratch every time. Highest quality is pretty much guaranteed.

London2Baires, thanks for the reply and the information provided, I read it very carefully. In terms of hygiene, I feel like I provide excellent food safety considering my past experience with food prepping in Vancouver while working at various restaurants during college years. My cakes are...

Dear expats, I sold 11 cheesecakes to complete strangers on Instagram since I launched my healthy cheesecake business in December of 2019 and now I need to think hard about how to promote my product. I joined the Buenos Aires Diabetics group on facebook to no avail and wonder if you guys can...

5G infrastructure is too expensive to install, Argentina would be busy fixing pot holes, rotted service poles and street signs for the next couple of decades before bringing in the 5G. Safety-wise, 5G is not any more dangerous than 4G, it's not ionizing radiation and as long as you don't sleep...
