I gave up when my £10 tea order from the UK was impounded....took them 8 months to tell me of course. Only a half wit would have made the 6 hour round trip to Buenos Aires to collect it not before handing over a fee first of course...so I didn't.
I can't comment on tea orders, but books from abroad I receive safely at home (that's the only thing I buy online from outside of Argentina). Only in one case (an 800-page hardcover book) they sent me a letter from the customs authority asking to file an affidavit saying it was for my personal use and I wasn't going to re-sell it, otherwise they were going to charge me with the import tax. I did this online and the package was released from customs and sent to my address a few days later.
