Dear Hiddy-- congratulations on your move, Im sure you will not regret it. I think that a door to door move is the only way to do things... the extra cost is not enormous and trying to clear everything on your own will be a nightmare.

One thing I recommend you do once you are down here is get a good immigration lawyer and have your personal residency paperwork taken care of. I assume your wife still has her Argentine Citizenship...? This fact will make things somewhat easier, as you can have a head start at getting most things like bank accounts and such under her name but it may still be useful for you to have your local residency issues in proper order.

I dont know how outfitted your home here in Argentina is... but what I do suggest you look into is bringing the major appliances for your home with you, provided you can purchase them in 220V 50-60Hz versions. While you can buy everything here in Argentina, the best quality appliances tend to be more expensive than in most G7 nations... plus the selection down here is also not the best

The same goes for all electronics.... home theaters, PCs... etc. Remember the compatibility issues for TVs and other issues before you buy, though.

Hope this helps.
