Someone flying in from the States or Europe to southamerica ? HUBB - Courier !

[thecoon]

Hey guys,

... why we dont put a thread, with all the people travelling in and out of Southamerica ?
This is a big community. There must be at least 5-10 people travelling to southamerica per week.
We could use it as a spare parts/needed things from home courier system. As you dont need to pay taxes on things when you fly in by plane. Of course, this is all on mutual trust.
But I think it is better than trusting courriers, with their strange fees, and customs riping you off. Besides alot of people here have a reputation, and it is a "holding together" community.

Thing is, I could use a new 525 chain from home. I went trough all the threads with courier problems, and I thought: why dont we help each other out. Same with the Bike swap system in europe and the states. It is a brilliant Idea!
We spare mother earth some less polution and strenghten our community.
There is no need for meeting, if that is an issue. Specially for those which dont have the time. There is still the local post, to do the rest of the job.
And today ordering and paying something over the internet is so easy. So there would be no work for the courier.

So guys, what do you think ?
