Need a favor from someone headed to Medellin soon...

I need a big favor from anyone headed to Medellin from the US in the next week or two. Here's the favor...

I left my leather jacket at an airport in the US and they, the lost & found department at the airport, said they would FedEx it to anywhere in the US. Is there anyone out there willing to have my jacket shipped to them and then bring it down with you on your flight? There is nothing in the jacket pockets so no worries about bringing down anything illegal etc. it is just a leather jacket.

Please get back to me and let me know if someone is willing to do this for me.

Expat, I can do it if Robert's suitcases are too packed with sneakers. I'm landing in the US for 10 days Nov 19th arriving back in Medellin the 29th - if you can wait that long.

Thanks for the help ujay. it looks like Robert won't be coming down for several weeks so I will continue my quest to find someone coming down a little sooner.

Roc: Thank you for the offer but I'm really trying to get someone coming down much sooner.

zzzzzzz: Thanks but no thanks...

Si hoy hable con el por teléfono. El no sabe cuanto ira a ser hasta que llegue y por lo que hay un cargo de Marcela incluido, la cual dijo que te lo explicaba a ti.

En total había estimado que cerca de $200. Cuantos dolares necesitara tu Mama para pagar por esto? Le llevo los $200 por si acaso.

Lo que tu te refieres al seguro es realmente un soborno, especialmente en el caso de Marcela y el Xbox. Como un Xbox le costaria el 30% del valor real para nationalizarlo, lo que hacen es que pagan un promedio que en el caso de ella fue otros $35 o algo asi encima de los 2.50 por libra. Es totalmente un soborno a la aduana, para que no le pongan mucho cuidado. El resto mio como que sale al 15% mas o menos encima del precio que pague por estos aparatos. Por lo menos no es el 30%. serán como $155 del envio mas el pago en impuestos (el seguro) casi otros 50 me parece.

Pero la forma que funciona esto es 2.50 por libra mas los impuestos la cual tu llamas seguro. Esto depende de lo que Gustavo decide declarar en la aduana para que la dejan pasar. Portátiles los pasan completamente por debajo a un precio fijo.

Bueno buscare esos aparaticos tuyos haber donde los encontramos. Por lo menos encontramos un sitio. Hablando de Portátiles hice una compra. La pedi donde Jaela. Ganas mas trayendo un solo portátil que con esos aparaticos. Hay $100 para ti. Si yo pudiera vender 4 portátiles al mes de esta manera serian $400 para ti mensuales.

Esto llegara donde Yaela entonces:

1) El portátil de 17"
2) El maletín para que la pases por la aduana en el mismo. En el futuro puedes ir con un maletín propio exclusivamente para traer el portátil.
3) Un protector de voltajes
4) Una cubierta decorativa que encaja encima del portátil
5) unas calcomanias que convierten el teclado Ingles al teclado Español

Todo esto cabe en el mismo maletín. Llegara a diferentes tiempos. De 5 a 10 días estará todo. Creo que lo que mas llegara rápido seria el portátil después el maletín del mismo.

Bueno lo dejo contigo para ver como lo traerías. Si puedes guardar las cajas planas y los empaques y eso para traerlos después seria bueno para la presentación. Haber si se interesan mas gente para seguir trayendo de esta forma. Hazme un favor y guardam la factura de este portatil, el packing list, y la barra de codigos. Ya que me devuelven $50 si lo envió por correo. Es un rebate.

part of an e mail to just one AA GIRL,
BUT WE DEAL WITH ABOUT 15.
its not what you know but who .......
