Hello all,
Anyone have any experience of sending credit cards from the UK ro Argentina?
I have been told not to use the Royal Mail / Argentinian postal service as there is a good chance the cards will never arrive.
I have been told by DHL that they will not carry credit cards. I am not sure if Fedex will but anyway they are really expensive at £72!
Any advice is welcome, thanks.
If the card is coming directly from your bank (like a renewal or new card) and they have a branch here have them send it to the branch c / o the manager. I did this several years ago with an HSBC card from USA to a branch in Recoleta.
Otherwise I would say FedEx. DHL sucks. Just wrap it in papers and send it off in the envelope.
I have been sending packages / gift to my to dear one and family for the past 6 years using the post office with no problems at all. I am express mail.
This past week they asked that in addition to the regular small customs form that I fill out an additional customs detailed sheet that requested more information.
The result was that they called and said the name did not match what was written and she had to go to the capital to pick it up.
I thought it might be a scam to collect duty but I had listed only gifts. No commercial value so it was just another inconvenience placed on the public.
This was a new request by the post office who would not accept the package without it and said packages were being returned if not included.
Wtf
It depends on the weight.
It has to be under 13 pounds or something like that.
I sent a package just a little over that three weeks ago, but wrote down on the custom form, what it was, pants and shirts. It got there in a week. I also have sent two DVDs and it got there one week later.
A year before I sent a Snow Globe of San Francisco to my Teacher and it got held up in Customs. They wanted 70p for her to pick it up, saying that she was late picking it up. Funny I got it back a year later, at no extra charge.
I bought her one with me on my next trip.
Does anyone need one to send to their favorite Chica?
