Ordering stuff from abroad

With Grabr and Amazon....why fight it?

Grabr sounds great, but the farther away you are from Buenos Aires the more limited your options. I'm nowhere near Buenos Aires, out in the country, and there's one person somewhat near me who looks like they occasionally make trips. I like being country mouse, but sometimes it's a lot more convenient to be city mouse.

My wife wants to get something that costs less than US$50 so maybe we'll look into Amazon and keep fingers crossed.

With Grabr and Amazon....why fight it?

But....I did one Grabr purchase a week ago but....the Uber round trip here in B.A. was about $40 dollars. Muy estupido en mi parte. On the other hand....yestserday my new laptop was delevered to my by my purchaser here in B.A. ....so check delever locations. (I waited weeks and weeks for Amazon to even give me a delivery date....didn't happen)

I have tried to find information about this in this thread and others but have not been able to.

At the end of March I ordered something costing 10 dollars for a friend here through AliExpress.

When I track the package, the last thing it says is "Despacho de aduana irregular." But below that it says "Despacho de aduanas de importación completado" and that they are optimizing their services to be able to deliver the item as soon as possible.

I'm confused. Does anyone know what I need to do at this point? I realize this is under the old door to door regime. I have not not received anything from Correo Argentino. Do I have to go to Aduana and pay some tax, or do I need to just wait for some sort of notification from CA? Thanks for any help you can give me.

I found a YouTube video that explained everything.
