Anyone else got a similar email from websource?
They sent notification the item was received by them in Miami on Feb 15th

jhonnieblue · Postby **jhonnieblue** » February 23rd, 2021, 2:17 pm

I got one saying that it was supposed to be on a flight mon. But I call them and they said there was a further delay by the airline and to look out for an email.

Any one got word from web source as to the delays yet?
My package in miami and scheduled to come since the 17th and can't see it yet. What causing this backlog?

In the same boat as well. Packages reached Miami since 12th and hasn’t arrived here yet.
And that’s way before the adverse weather in the US

Called them just now regarding the same shipment and their response was "it might come next week..we not sure because the airline didn't give an update"

I tried calling couldn't even get onto a rep, this is real unprofessional on their end. Oh gosh man come out straight and say what's the issue

Stories like these are why I don't use websource. I don't have the patience.

I don't really get problems with Websource, only issues I get is usually christmas time with the rush.

im also waiting for a package that reach Miami since the 15th, i dunno what going on with websource but their service usually pretty good

i notice every time i go to collect recently the line does be outside the door so like they have a huge backlog, the staff does handle it fast doh

jhonnieblue · Postby **jhonnieblue** » February 26th, 2021, 12:05 pm

Just called, same delay they saying about the flight, but it's alsmot 2 weeks now, is everyday a flight getting delayed? They seriously need to get their story together

Musical Doc · Postby **Musical Doc** » February 27th, 2021, 8:30 am

My stuff cleared last night so I'm going to pickup today. Saw that Websource has extended opening hrs today till 3 pm and they open tomorrow as well

wagonrunner · Postby **wagonrunner** » February 27th, 2021, 4:10 pm

The struggle continues. I wonder if its because there is not room for profit on the item.
At least they are not a monopoly, just means another provider gets the profits.

blaming the skybox has limited utility right now. Every one of these freight companies out of Miami is getting issues right now. Staff working from home. Staff on quarantine. Staff working while sick. Mistakes being made. Shiet generally falling apart.

4 days with aeropost....lemme go try them yes

Kenjo · Postby **Kenjo** » February 27th, 2021, 7:13 pm

They aren’t that efficient as before . So running to aeropost means your package comes but customs still slow

Zalos · Postby **Zalos** » February 27th, 2021, 7:20 pm

I realize with aeropost now, customs always clear on a thursday. So if your item reaches trinidad on friday, have to wait a week

Chimera · Postby **Chimera** » February 27th, 2021, 8:18 pm

Wha d muddac**t.

Daz pressure.

muddac**t pressure all over.

no joke, maybe is ocean they using? ocean freight and air freight basically the same transit time nowadays (1 week) given the airlines seem to be at capacity/backlogged for covid issues.

Nah man, I have stuff arrive on a Monday then "released" on Wednesday so is more when they get the appointments because i seeing various days.

That being said, sometimes customs clearance takes 2 days, sometimes 5 days. Also i think they only have 2 flights out from Miami a week since Covid and USD problems.

THIS time i was lucky on the timing but its not all rainbows and unicorn farts. Its also not Websource either.

S_2NR · Postby **S_2NR** » February 27th, 2021, 9:19 pm

I've had aeropost packages clear every day of the week, not just thursdays.
But it does usually take a few days to a wk max to clear since covid.

Zalos · Postby **Zalos** » February 27th, 2021, 9:20 pm

The past 4 shipments i've gotten, always release from customs on wed/thurs

Had one time a package reach miami monday, here wednesday, release thursday and i collect friday - just like your picture
Had another in miami friday, but released from customs on thursday the next week

Just a reminder to those paying for websource via the app that they only accepting US not TTD.

First time trying out Aeropost.

First package reached Trinidad relatively quickly. Two days from arrival in Miami to Trinidad.

However it has been in Trinidad since and not ready for collection yet as of today (Tuesday night)

How long does it typically take for things to clear once arrival in Trinidad with Aeropost?

Approx 1 wk.
