Argentina: Argentina laws and customs:

Hello. I am leaving and returning to Argentina for the usa and back here. I have been trying to find out things before I leave to help me get my stuff from the us to here. The transferring of money is a major concern. Just today I found it is hard and even costly to have a bank account here. It seems the banks charge you money to have it in their bank no matter the amount. So I am thinking of keeping it in a us bank and transferring or wiring it a bit at a time when I need it. I have been told you can use a debit card from the us and withdraw money here paying a fee for your transaction. Does anyone know about that. I have decided to sell my auto in the us and buy one here. Anyone got any ideas about purchasing autos in Argentina and getting the insurance to drive that car.? I have a lot of household goods that cannot be bought here, and if I could find replacements the year I have been here tells me buying them over would be much more costly than when I initially acquired them. anyone had any knowledge of horror stories of having anything sent here from another country and it getting stuck at customs or whatever warehouse it might be stuck and having to spend major money to get it out? Any ideas you have would be greatly appreciated.

Argentina: moving the real costs:

I live in argentina near cordoba. I moved here from the usa. I am going back to the usa and then returning here with all the things I stored there for over a year. A year ago when I came here I looked into shipping my belongings which include a chevy here, several companies mostly based in miami gave quotes. They were about 6500 dollars. The goods I have are worth more than that. Many of them cannot be replaced in argentina and those that can cost more here in argentina. One company from new york seemed to be inexpensive. they quoted only 2900 dollars but only can do to buenos aires. somehow if I use them I must get it the 760 kilometers furter myself or hire someone to do it. I fail to understand why this relative short trip should cost over 3,000 dollars more if I do the whole trip door to door from a miami company? Whose palms are being greased by the corruption? ANd is there a u-haul kind of company in argentina I can hire and do it myself? Having done u haul in the usa I know i am capable of doing the whole move myself lifting and loading my things. any suggestions someone might have would be welcome. dave

Argentina: moving:

Hello. I would like to know of moving companies or rental truck companies in Argentina. Moving from Buenos Aires goods to Cordoba.

Argentina: Shipping to BA:

I hear from several here that shipping to Buenos Aires Argentina from anywhere is difficult and not advised. Well my question is is there another city or port that would be better if getting goods through BA is not advised?
