Many, many items you can't order from Amazon USA to Argentina. Just try and you will see when ordering it that it will say, "not available to ship to destination". Hopefully this changes in the future but the only things that I hear about going through ok are usually things like books. But try many other products and it won't even work. You will get an error message like this below on Amazon when trying to order.When I was in BA I ordered something on Amazon and it took forever but I got it. My other friend there said he ordered something and it came through to him fairly quickly (within 9 days) but he ordered from Amazon Europe since he is from Germany. I don't know what accounts for some people having issues and some not.
Some friends said they ordered small electronics from Amazon and paid import fees on the front end and it came to them. Some said things were missing but Amazon credited it. The safest thing seems to be to use Grabr.
My friend uses Grabr all the time and he said the girl bringing it is a flight attendant that always flies to EZE so now he just orders directly with her and he saves the commission and they both make out.
Apparently many of the people that bring with Grabr work on the airlines and it's a way for them to make money each week.
@Uncle Wong, you are correct that many people doing Grabr are airline personnel. My friend orders all the time from one of his friends that works for an airline.
