The Official Skybox Thread: Take 2

It depends eh.

Certain courier companies who dont pay there....facilitation fees..... will get 100% checked and everyone get jam

Others will get tru with no issues at all.

Basically when the shipping company bring stuff in to clear...it's on a manifest list with the item description and value

Customs then pass the items through a scanner to basically check for contraband/illegal items first....ammo..guns...etc

They also check the item description and value and pull suspected values to match items...mainly phones...watches... jewellery...common brand electronics

So if u have a 300$ USD Samsung phone and the value is 100usd...it could get pulled for verification

If u have a 100usd shoe valued for 30$ it may not

They don't physical check each value to item...

And then it have the companies who gonna charge YOU the customer the full taxes even though they ent pay it. I was with ezone for years and years.....then I realize the customer service calling me and roughing me up....telling me I hadda go clear stuff myself....charges going tru the roof....

I switch to someone else and never looked back.

And I spend a easy 200k in just freight fees in the time I was with them.

[*KRONIK*]

Who you switched to?

I looking to jump ship again.

Websource was kinda waste coming down to the end. The really did some kaka when they moved my driver to another route.
Replacement driver is discourteous and unacommodating.
So i done away with them


Switched to tropical express, they was good for a lil while, but they start moving slow, they have no system in place to speak with a manager of things go wrong.
And they prices just start increasing.
And they switched their ocean freight to volumetric. I aint able nah.

Hearing good things about bluesky, but when i check with their calculators, doesnt seem to make any sense at all.....

Stay farr away from the Blue company. I had two packages delivered to their Miami warehouse on Jan 27. They were to be shipped via ocean freight and I'm still awaiting them. Every week I am being told that they are experiencing Customs delays due to COVID-19 but my packages were supposed to shipped 1.5 months before restrictions were imposed! On a couple rare occasions earlier this year I did receive air freight quickly from them. Around the same timing as WebSource. But the majority of the dealings have been frustrating. I used them 2018 for the first time and there were some small delays (~2 weeks) but it was Christmas time and the rates were good so I decided to give them another chance this year. Not me and dem again sah. Look at all the recent negative customer comments on their FB posts similar to my experiences. I'm sorry I didn't check that before using them. And they disabled reviews and the messaging function.

hmm i was thinking about switching from websource to bluesky as well based on much cheaper fees, seabox, and ability to consolidate.
Other than delayed delivery (which is acceptable to me) would you say they okay?

When customs strip their containers and find something illegal or many items are under priced on the manifest, customs seize the whole container. They lying to u... Bluesky always getting catch doing rachifee. Not the first and won't be d last

Tried the azul company once. Item came in on time but had to wait about 6 weeks to get it delivered. Believing it was an anomaly, I sent an email requesting some information in order to give them a second try.

Never received a response so I went elsewhere...

[Chimera]

For the last 2 or 3 months is real jamming.

[hydroep]

One of my providers sent out an e-mail stating that even if you submit invoices, customs has the right to amend values as they see fit. Like they getting blame/a lot of complaints about the issue...

[Jade_Inc.]

As in slow you mean ?

[gastly369]

Yep my orders coming in ... Few days later than normal but no issues

Things still coming in? I thought borders locked?

[Arcmanov]

Definitely longer/slower.

Items that usually take 3 days to get here 'in your hand' from Miami are now taking over a week.
