Red face WANTED - Xmas "mule" to EZE

So folks... its that time of the year again....

If anybody is coming down to EZE and doesnt mind being a mule for a couple of things from North America (USA and Canada), please let me know.... my needs are basically in the Toys R US department, but I also need an IPhone 4 from Canada...

Thanks!!!

Actually, your timing is perfect as the Xmas deadline is only for the two dolls/action figures from Toy Story 3. Your schedule means I will have to seek another FTer for those two itema, but I am happy to wait one additional week after Xmas to get the Canadian IPhone 4.

Welcome to FT.

Not sure if you know but Gaucho is a legit businessman in Buenos Aires and runs a very prestigious wine business.
He is the resident expert on all things Argentina.
Every so often he will ask for some things that he cannot get in Argentina.
No funny business and totally kosher.

Sorry Gaucho; no plans for travel to EZE at least until the second half of 2011.

Gaucho- I'm in California now, returning Thursday. PM me with what you need, and if I have room after all the family mule requests, I'll add your stuff.

If you strike out, I'll be back again in a few weeks, returning Jan. 4ish. Xmas in one hemisphere, New Years in the other...

Just as I was leaving SFO on Saturday, Santa's flight from the North Pole was arriving at gate 86. There were UA elves everywhere.

Luckily Santa managed to give me a present for a special little child in Argentina

Maybe "mule" was a bad choice of words to use for a norteamericano audience.

"Courrier," perhaps?

Indeed... a poor choice of vocabulary on my part.
