Shop from USA to Argentina: A Practical Amaboxly Guide

To shop from USA to Argentina with Amaboxly, you have three routes: order an item already listed in our shop, ask us to buy from a US store for you, or buy it yourself and forward the parcel. This guide covers what each route costs, how long it takes and what Argentina’s customs service expects.

Checks to make before you pay a US store

Get a quote for Argentina first. Every route outside Malaysia needs a destination-specific quote before you buy or ship, and a listed country does not mean every item, carrier route or postcode is accepted.

Some goods need extra review before buying: batteries (installed or spare), power banks, liquids, aerosols, cosmetics, magnets, anything with radio functions, fragile glass or ceramics, and bulky household items.

If you plan to forward a parcel, get the complete receiving address and suite details from us before checkout. Our US forwarding address checkout checklist lists what to confirm. We do not sell freight insurance and forwarding terms give no loss or damage cover, so glass, ceramics and liquids travel at your risk.

Three ways to shop from the USA to Argentina

Shop listings are labelled Ready Stock Malaysia, Ready Stock USA or Pre-Order on every product page, and the shop’s own price, delivery and returns policy apply.

For Buy for me, open My Account, Forwarding and choose "Buy for me". Send the exact US product URL, product name, size, colour, quantity, store price, a cart or product-page screenshot and any promotion details. Retailer acceptance and stock are never guaranteed, and the fee is shown on the Buy for me page and in your payment request.

If you buy it yourself, choose "I bought something" instead. Keep your receipt and retailer tracking number, declare the parcel with accurate contents and paid value, then review the quote before you authorize shipment.

What goes into a delivered price in pesos

Shop prices can be shown in ARS as an estimate. We charge in ringgit at checkout and your bank converts, so the final amount can differ slightly. Delivery to Argentina is a live quote per item shown at checkout, before you pay, and parcels travel by FedEx.

For Buy for me and forwarded parcels, the pieces are the retailer’s price, the assisted-purchase fee (Buy for me only), air freight on the billed weight, door delivery, import or clearance charges, and any services you request. Argentina is one of seventeen destinations on a benchmark-based freight rate: a published competitor benchmark minus US$0.10 per billable kg. We confirm the figures in your quote, as explained on our worldwide parcel forwarding page.

Billed weight is the higher of actual and dimensional weight, with a minimum of 1 kg per box. Take a box of winter jackets measuring 20 x 14 x 10 inches that weighs 4 kg on the scale. Dimensional weight is 20 x 14 x 10 = 2,800, divided by 166 = 16.87 lb, times 0.4536 = 7.65 kg. The higher figure, 7.65 kg, is the billed weight.

The calculator on our shipping fees page estimates Malaysia forwarding, so do not assume its rates or timing for Argentina.

Our US base is New Hampshire, which has no general state sales tax. That can benefit eligible purchases delivered to the confirmed New Hampshire receiving address. It does not remove Argentina’s import duties, taxes or clearance charges.

Timing, the 50% deposit and the balance

Pre-Order and Ready Stock USA items take about 30 days from the order date. Peak seasons, US store delays and customs inspections can add a few days, and the date at checkout is an estimate. For forwarding, about 30 days is our air freight planning estimate, so confirm departure, arrival and local delivery timing for Argentina with us.

The 50% deposit is offered on Pre-Order items only. On the product page, choose the colour, choose "Pay 50% deposit" and add to bag. Checkout shows what you pay today and the balance due later.

Orders for Argentina ship straight from our New Hampshire hub, so the balance is paid before the item ships from the USA. The payment link arrives by email and WhatsApp, and the item ships once the balance is paid.

Clearing Argentina’s customs service

Duties and taxes are set by Argentina, are the buyer’s responsibility, and are not included in our prices or delivery fees. We declare the accurate item value on customs forms. For forwarded parcels, you must give us an accurate declaration and receipt.

We do not list Argentine duty rates or allowances here because they can change. Check the current guidance from Argentina’s customs service before you buy, and keep your receipt in case it is requested.

Returns and cancellations

Shop orders can be returned within 30 days of delivery, including for change of mind. The item must be in new condition, a 10% restocking fee on the total amount paid for the order applies, and the cost of shipping it back to the seller is deducted from your refund. Contact us with your order number and reason before sending anything back. Full terms are on our refund and returns page.

Cancelling a Pre-Order or Ready Stock USA item before delivery carries a 10% processing fee, and payment gateway fees are not refunded. The rest, including the deposit, goes back the way you paid.

A Buy for me request can be cancelled free while it is Submitted or Information needed. Once the item has been bought, the charge is USD 35 per checkout. Sending a forwarded parcel back to the US seller means a per-package handling fee plus a return label that you pay for.
