Anyone ordered from apple.com recently, which skybox did you use. I usually use Aeropost however that address seems to be blacklisted as its a freight forwarder.

Folks another issue, I got a notification from WS that they received my package in Miami for an item I didn't pre-alert and one that I did pre-alert I haven't received a notification yet. Funny enough the one I didn't pre-alert was delivered by Amazon after the one I did pre-alert. So how come the item that arrived a day earlier has not been notified as being received yet?

[supercharged turbo]

What courier do yall recommend for shipping items to other Caribbean islands/North America?

[pugboy]

doh sweat the small stuff
it’s a warehouse receiving packages which then have to be sticker tagged and entered on a computer to track
things can easily get out of arrival order but it will be entered eventually

[st7]

fellas, remember to send in your skybox invoice to amazon for your tax refunds.

[DMan7]

What invoice am I using with Web Source to send to Amazon for the rebate? With eZONE there was a "Proof of Export" document they have for each shipment but all I'm seeing on WS web portal is a regular invoice.

What are the options for shipping a laptop/cell phone battery?
Jetpack says prohibited and customs will seize. Others say classed as a hazardous item and will attract a charge.

the worry is that lithium ion batteries could ignite on the aeroplane and kill out everybody, so they have regulations against shipping batteries past a certain energy capacity. they does put all kinda markings and warnings on the box.

customs would not seize when it reach here. is purely a shipping issue.

might get a bligh and it ship normel normel (likely)
might have to pay hazmat but it ship normel otherwise (also likely)
might refuse to ship and charge you a fee to dispose of it (also possible)

skybox kinda hit or miss with this scene

Different skybox have different rules it seems

Websource told me its good up to 5Ah

Tropical Express will ship it as hazmat regardless of the size

email websource and RPM and find out

certain things RPM told me i can't import, websource will import without issue

certain things websource say i need hazmat, RPM will bring without issue

brought in some boric acid the other day and websource said they would have to hazmat, RPM bring it in regular with no hazmat

[Dave]

Bit the bullet and used Trincargo as I am already a client and they have provisions for that stuff and have done batteries in the past with them.
Nice thing is no state tax lol.
Just wanted an idea on the general consensus.
$11usd shipped... AliExpress FTW!
