    Vacation In Germany, Suggestions Requested.

    I've gone to Munich a few times for vacations, I loved it so much. I agree with lucha54's recommendations and think using Munich as your base is a good idea. I also will suggest going to Berchtesgaden. It's gorgeous, full of history, and you can also cross into Austria from there and see...

    Afip, How To Receive 'family Assistance' Packages?

    I was the one who received the XBox in Retiro this week. The people helping out front of the Correo say they do not know if a person has to pay for a gift or not (that was super helpful), but the man at aduana told us that it did not matter if it was an ordered item or a gift. He let us off...

    International Post

    We had the same with our 2 boxes that arrived from Washington State. They were sent Jan 23 and my family was told when sending them that we'd have them within 5 to 10 days. The first box came fine, but I have yet to receive a notification for the second one. Last night I checked the tracking...

    Picking Up An Xbox @ Correo Argentino

    We paid the little bit for storage and $25 pesos as the correo, the front, first line you get into. At the actual aduana section in back, no...we paid nothing. You know the big room where you go second and wait to be called to the aduana? There they have about 6 or 8 computers set up. One of...

    Picking Up An Xbox @ Correo Argentino

    Yes! Actually, I am here to give you all just that! Sorry, I didn't update before, I just didn't have any news. Funny you ask now because I just went this morning. Long story short: XBox is in my house now and my son is setting it up. We paid...$65 pesos and the entire thing, from leaving my...

    Picking Up An Xbox @ Correo Argentino

    Well, we're heading to Retiro tomorrow to try our fate getting our stuff. Other than filling out the AFIP's form, we're not sure what we're in for. I asked my boss just now if she had any idea where we pay exactly, at the Correo itself or online...she receives stuff all the time and any search...

    Picking Up An Xbox @ Correo Argentino

    Yup, it's an XBox One. I feel like I'm already playing some sort of XBox game, only one that doesn't require a cd and, apparently, a consol...

    Picking Up An Xbox @ Correo Argentino

    The thing is, I am not even sure if we're able to pay the tax. From what we're seeing online, you have to maybe be an importer to receive it at all. And you need to pay the fees before you even go online, using a clave fiscal, which we don't have. I would pay whatever necessary in order to get...

    Picking Up An Xbox @ Correo Argentino

    Yes, this is exactly the sort of thing I'm talking about. Thanks for sharing your experience, Eclair! I thought I'd edit to add part of a PM reply I just sent with some new info: Yup, I think we're screwed. I just asked for the shipping manifest, and my dad's girlfriend didn't even list the...

    Picking Up An Xbox @ Correo Argentino

    I've picked up a lot of things before, too...but not with all the new regulations and the new form. And to pay, you need a clave fiscal, which we do not have, and go to a bank---I think? Also, we just read that something being a gift doesn't matter as there is no law yet differentiating what it...

    Picking Up An Xbox @ Correo Argentino

    ...with the new rules. I am lost. My dad sent my son a new XBox and me assorted (cheap) goodies from the US. His girlfriend listed the items as gifts and put the total value at $50.00. We usually devalue things when sending them abroad, but I admit this makes me nervous. Believe it or not, the...

    I Wonder What We Could Come Up With Here?

    Ok, this is a bit off topic, but I thought this was a hoot and could only imagine what sort of signs we could make especially for our transit system here! :eek: Someone has made fake London Underground signs, and whoever did it is a ruddy genius. A few pics from the post:

    Good Sushi Restaurant

    Bit of an older thread, but I just came from Zen Tea Sushi Nikkei in Nuñez (11 de Septiembre 3351) and I wanted to let you all know that it is delish. It is a Peruvian/Japanese fusion restaurant and it's only been open since March or so. We went there completely on a whim and we're glad we did...

    New Year's Without Firecrackers

    I did something similar, though I am in Vicente Lopez and everyone was shooting them off. My son and I watched the show on our terrace until about 12:30...he scooted off to bed afterwards, while I watched a movie with earbuds in. When I took them out to step into the kitchen or whatever, my...

    Sube Card - How To Get Cheaper Fares?

    Yes, it was last year (I think?) when they started the price difference. I was going to Recoleta daily...with my Sube card the price was $2.35 and with coins it was over 4 pesos, if I remember correctly.
