Tax Refund - Aeroparque

[trennod]

Unfortunately my grandfather is really ill so tomorrow I am flying back to Australia. My flight goes via Santiago and therefore is (thankfully) flying out of Aeroparque. Anyone have any experience with the Tax-Free there, I am interested to know - location? delays etc? any other interesting surprises (not surprised if there are any..) B)

Thanks!!

I'm sorry to hear about your Grandfather, I hope he gets better.

Beware the devil in the details....they say you need to show the actual goods you purchased. This is the problem because most people will have packed them in their suitcases and will have checked their bags (with the goods inside) before going to Tax Free....the layout makes it highly inconvenient to do otherwise...so IF they want to they can ask you to show what you bought which if you've checked your bags will be impossible.....I personally have not had this happen to me, BUT I have seen a group of Asian tourists madly searching through open suitcases laid out all over the place! If you can, best to have the stuff in a carry on just in case. And the refund came within 30 days as a credit (albeit at the official rate) on my credit card.

I have never had to show the goods at EZEIZA , when I claimed the refund last year. The refund came in about three weeks to my c/c.

All good, it's a few pieces of clothing and shoes of which I will either be wearing or have in hand luggage. Thanks for the advice!

I didn't have to show my goods in EZE either. I haven't been used the Jorge Newberry service.
