I'm due to fly back to Europe from Buenos Aires in February, so waiting a month for a new shock to be delivered and clear customs isn't really an option.
If anyone here is flying to Chile in the next week or two and would be so kind, I could order a shock to their address and collect it from them at the airport.
Thanks in advance.

I just did a lot of reading on taking shocks in checked luggage because I need to get a set down here (Bolivia). They can get confiscated even if they don't have a gas chamber. At least one airline (United I think but not sure) specifically lists shock absorbers of any kind as hazardous and not permitted in checked or carryon. I finally decided to just freight them here.
Just a heads up . . .
