The Official Skybox Thread: Take 2

Ground in the US is taking longer for both an item from overseas as well as one originating from the US. Will comment when they get to Miami enroute to Trinidad

Kenjo before the pandemic when I ordered within 2 weeks I would get my items I'm with Amazon prime so fast movements an I order mostly everything online bcuz of the ridiculous prices from businessmen locally

Hello superstainless1250,

Prime is the way forward.

Nothing beats the luxury of online shopping especially from our mobile devices.

How unfortunate of those who are unable to enjoy this convenience and are subjected to high prices and stink Trinidadian customer service from establishments such as “Pennywize”

[Chimera]

They are still prioritizing medical related or essential items in the usa. So plenty items simply not going to ship as fast as they usually do. Even prime shipments have 2 or 3 weeks delay before they ship it out. It reaching in one or two days once they ship it but they not shipping it for a while.
Look at the date of estimated delivery when ordering items.

Go with seabox or any other boat shipping . Air freight will be much more expensive unless you can’t wait 2 weeks extra

[Damien]

Which company you recommend? I wanted to get an average cost before...I am really afraid of the surprise prices

[Dave]

Lol Seabox the man said.

No problem with them. Did wheels already with them, even a very huge bonnet.

[Damien]

Lol thanks I now see it

Cleared a floor standing commercial blender by Tropical this morning. Blender was about 5 ft tall and weighed 125 lbs and cost $900 US. Was shocked they charged me $1800 to ship and clear sky freight

I buy my tires at Tirerack. com

[Dave]

I get from Discount tire and simple tirefrom website and from eBay. I also used Tirerack.

[Kenjo]

Thanks i will check them out but I’m assuming it’s more high end tyres where the benefit comes from . Looking for suv tyres and I will see how they go

[Dave]

Never buy an equivalent tyre away, will almost always be more. You buy something that cannot be compared to anything locally.

What law is that?

[*KRONIK*]

Not a law
A policy change is more like it

They apparently hire a setta retired customs officers to open everybody package, over value the items and then if yuh have a problem, take it into your own hands

What law is that?

[Kenjo]

^^^^^this was business accounts , not private accounts . But it’s real random because some friends got charged way less than they were expecting too

[zoom rader]

You lots will just sit & complain and do nothing. Take bull.

What to do?

Write letters to the President, PNM prime minister, your MP, media houses and the customs head. Start a social media page. Educate more folk on what is going on.

An election is comming.

[*KRONIK*]

Or....
I go just boycott them skybox who aint paying they bribe to clear they stuff

Move to one who runnin they money

[Chimera]

People dont have the money to do that.
Lawyers not going to waste the time either unless it worth the money
