moving personal belongings from Russia to Uruguay

Post new topic

Hello, everyone!


There are lots of recent arrivals from Russia in Uruguay, but sadly none of them are on expat.com, understandably:  So my questions is to all of you here:  Does anyone know any of these new arrivals or better still anyone wanting to come from Russia to Uruguay?


I need to find out how one can ship a few personal belongings from Russia to Uruguay.  There is no airline that I am aware of that could be used on such a route that does not use code share flights (including to Buenos Aires).  On code shares it seems you can not bring more than the two suitcases that are standard, while Turkish and Qatar offer up to 5 suitcases more on their own flights.  (Connections via Schengen airports are difficult to impossible)


The information from the Russian post office is that they can ship almost anywhere in the world but not to Uruguay.  (They do, I know someone who used it very successfully and cheaply for shipping to Canada.)


It may be related to the sanctions but I can not find a freight forwarder that would take suit cases or crates. 


So the question to these new arrivals would be  how they did it or whether they know someone that could take the shipment in their container ...


Thank you so much for reading so far and thinking about who you know.  It is appreciated.
