Hi All I have a problem with my Dell laptop (who hasnt ) and I have to send it back to the Dell uk for a refund where I bought it from. Easy I thought. First checked Correo website for EMS packages which are tracked and can be insured. Went to the post office , filled out 8 (EIGHT) forms , then told to go to another desk to pay only to be told they dont offer insurance for any international postage , its worth £1200/$2000. I proceed to bang head against the nearest wall as I often have to here. I`ve also tried Oca but they dont do international. Any suggestions on how to send it back to the UK? Other than risk sending it without insurance, which I dont really fancy doing when the box states it contains a laptop worth $2000 (please steal me!!). p.s i`m not in BA which makes things even more difficult. Thanks Paul |

Thanks but no DHL office near me. Actually I`ve rechecked the website and it looks like it should be ok to send via Correo. It states in the optional section that packages can be sent with a declared value to cover insurance with the linea Pack Plus boxes. Which is what I had. So I dont think they now what theyre talking about. http://www.correoargentino.com.ar/particulares_y_pymes/encomiendas/internacionales/encomienda_via_aerea (Message edited by admin on October 13, 2011) |

Just an update It seems the international ems (tracked and insured) post has been discontinued since last year. So unless you live near a fedex or dhl ie buenos aires you dont have any other option. So either I find someone who`s going to BA or its a nice 15 hour bus journey. |
