Shopping: Hours, Taxes, & Shipping
|
 |
|
Most stores are open weekdays from 9am to 8pm and Saturday from 9am until midnight, with some still closing for a few hours in the afternoon. You might find some shops open Sunday along Avenida Santa Fe, but few will be open on Calle Florida. Shopping centers are open daily from 10am to 10pm.
Certain art and antiques dealers will crate and ship bulky objects for an additional fee; others will tell you it's no problem to take that new sculpture directly on the plane. If you don't want to take any chances, contact UPS at tel. 800/222-2877 or Federal Express at tel. 810/333-3339. Whatever your purchase, keep your receipts for invoices over 70 pesos; you should be able to get a refund of the 19% tax (VAT) when you leave the country.
