this is Amazon bro they are notorious for absorbing the competition. Besides once u are able to provide an airway bill to Amazon showing that the items bought were shipped to another country they credit you back the state taxes u would have paid.roadhog wrote:boxy wrote:I don't support Amazon trying to slip into our economy like this it seems as they may eventually try to muscle out the local sky box companies which is pretry bad in the long run.
Price of service would dictate is they give skybox companies the boot. Nobody is going to intentionally pay more for something, when a reliable cheaper alternative is available.

boxy wrote:this is the ignorance that places companies into receivership. sky box companies pay for their services in USD in an economy where that currency is scarce and sometimes expensive to come by they tend to do what is necessary to keep the operation running. customers who come to pick up packages don't want to hear that they can't afford to pay the airline in USD they just want their shipments so they pay their bills by any means necessary without affecting their bottoming which they pass on to customers. In a sense it's customers own fault that they pay so much as the much needed USD is also syphoned out via credit card purchases. which is only now being regulated in some banks.
What going to happen now is that u going to put companies out of business and pay Amazon directly in USD for local vat and duties shipping and cost. Therefore hurting our countries economy further.

The decline in UPS shares this year is a great buying opportunity due to the company's dividend, according to one Wall Street firm.
Stifel raised its rating to buy from hold for UPS shares, predicting Amazon will remain a big customer for the delivery company.
The company's stock is down 11 percent this year through Monday due to investor worries over competition from Amazon and UPS' increased investment spending guidance for 2018.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Feb. 9 that Amazon is gearing up to launch a delivery service for businesses.
"We believe the [UPS] shares have been oversold and find it the most attractive dividend play in large cap U.S. transportation," analyst David Ross wrote in a note to clients Tuesday. "Amazon needs all the capacity it can get from its service providers, and still needs to build more capacity in-house, in our view … Amazon is a significant customer and were they to take all their business away, it would hurt, and the stock would move lower. We just don't believe it is in Amazon's best interest to do that, nor do we believe it is consistent with Amazon's operating philosophy and stated strategy."
UPS' stock has a 3.4 percent dividend yield, according to FactSet. The company's stock is up 1.2 percent in Tuesday's premarket session.
Ross lowered his price target for UPS shares to $121 from $127, representing 14 percent upside from Monday's close.
The analyst said the company will likely avoid a strike as negotiations with its unionized employees continue into the current contract's expiration on July 31. He predicts an agreement will be completed before the deadline similar to the last three deals.
"We believe the package and general freight markets remain strong, and the stock has sold off to a valuation that we believe reasonable considering the risks ahead and the increased capital investments expected over the next several years," he wrote.

The carrier was DHL as I expect, since they are the best, and when the items reached no extra payments were made. Delivered straight to my door with options to deliver elsewhere once shipped. My overall take on it is, global shipping is for when you have a few items, not for one item orders, it's almost a steal on both shipping and customs.
rotorhead24 wrote:It is generally cheaper than a freight forwarder, and the service is a whole lot better, but buying single items seems to be a lost when it comes to shipping (think taxes are adequate on them). Can't quite remember their return policy for global, but in all my years using Amazon, I never had to return items as they easily give refunds. A next plus is, it seems like they check all items ordered as one package even if it isn't consolidated and it seems like they don't consolidate as much as before, which makes the tax and shipping they charge a steal, and even if you end up paying more, they give you a refund within two months.
