DON’T USE - ATTENTION TOURISTS
DO NOT USE CORREO ARGENTINO. If you have made an international purchase, good luck because you will need it. It is the worst organisation i have ever seen. After waiting 2 months, and paying $90,000 pesos in TAX! I arrived to the local branch on a day when Customs was present as instructed to collect my CONTACT LENSES. For me, these are a MEDICAL NEED and i literally cannot live without them. I had my package IN MY HANDS for about 30 seconds, before ‘customs’ (One random man, in his own clothes and feet resting on the table whilst on his phone) said i can’t keep it, because i haven’t completed some sort of Registration as my contact lenses are classed as ‘medical’. This was never previously mentioned by ANYONE.
Now, i go home in a few days back to my country, and will have to leave my $300 contact lenses here, despite paying, waiting and holding them in my hands, because of this stupid, backwards system. What i have lost cannot be changed, so i am making this post with the soul purpose of HELP FOR OTHER TOURISTS. If you need something delivering from abroad to Argentina, DO NOT USE CORREO ARGENTINO. You have to use a private company, and even then good luck. I have been all around the world and NEVER seen a country with such outdated and unreliable systems. I am so sorry to the lovely people of Argentina that you have to deal with this sad disaster of an organisation. If my horrible experience saves a future victim of this scam, let it be the only positive to come out of this.
