Some places have opened up Black Friday sales already because they don’t want the rush of people all together so try now

i ship with websource and their rates are a cheaper than them, so it works out well for me plus their office is 5mins from me

*KRONIK* · Postby ***KRONIK*** » November 13th, 2020, 7:05 pm

Hmmmmm
Interesting

I fed up of tropical express
Them like they have 2 gears; slow and stop
And their fees 110% right thru, plus flecking membership fees

I fed up of websource too...
Driver for my area is a peg. Pick-up is a rel hassle and the place never have park....
Plus, i was reading the fine print on their bills. They make you pay for and sign that you have received your package in good condition and then you go collect it in another building. Thats very underhand as you have no redress if items are damaged or missing since you already signed to that.

So i ready to move on.....

yeah, all you need to do is put a US billing address for your credit card and it should work. i did that 2 years ago, and in my case i used the skybox address.

I see Tropical Express started back their Seabox service...

Haven't used them for a long time. As someone mentioned before, they have 2 speeds, slow and stop....
I'll stick with Transexpress/Trincargo yes. Lil more expensive but items ship within hours of arriving at their facility in Miami.

Dell confirmed. Interesting thing I learnt. First time I ever ordered a product directly from the manufacturer. They will assemble it and then ship. That is why it will take about 2 more weeks before shipping. It is not coming directly from their inventory.

Called hp support, the order getting declined because the address being recognized as a freight forwarder.

Anyone has a work around to this?

Or know of a skybox company address who doesn't get flagged as a freight forwarder

How is Hummingbird Express by TTPOST? I see they offer consolidation of packages. Looking useful as amazon always splitting them up

aidan · Postby **aidan** » November 19th, 2020, 12:24 am

Fellas, I need to ship some pc monitors (4x34"). What skybox will you recommend? Usually used tropical, but haven't shipped anything in months.

Nice find. In for review.

Aeropost has been really slow for the past few months. Any other skybox service offers free returns with tax and shipping refunds like aeropost?

I’ve come to realise they making real money with the ‘ free returns ‘ . For a regular customer I can’t say how much I have actually had to use it
