I actually think that they are quite cheap... i sent my brother some mobiles phones to ARgentina, he had to go to get it at Customs, and the guy just made up his mind right there about how much to charge, he said $300 (* i paid £140 for the 2 mobiles) the guy said that obviously me ( the sender) had money to get such expensive phones and they were the latest, and my brother explained that it was not the case, they were not the latest and that i have been saving hard to get them those mobiles.... they guy then say, ok, just give $100 but next time.. make sure she sends you clothes or books, otherwise u will have to pay.
Should i mention that they charge in dollars, when the argentinian money is pesos ?
1$ = 3 argentinos pesos.
He went to a friend who is a lawyer and asked about it, and she said that there is no regulations there and they can charge whatever they feel like...Mejor morir de pie que vivir toda una vida de rodillas.0
