The Deals Thread (Prime Day, Black Friday, Sales)

[GLANIMAL]

What stores have boxing day deals in the US? And what malls in the Miami area would be the best to go on boxing day? Probably going to sawgrass mills mall but saw someone said boxing day wouldn't really have any specials there as opposed to normal days.

i dont think there is a boxing day sale anymore

its more a canadian thing

Sorry to bump but this is just a FYI as plenty people seemed to uninformed and/or purposely misleading others in this thread.

Ezone does NOT charge volumetric weight once it's air freight via the USA, as i have been saying. I confirmed this earlier in the week. Volumetric weight only applies for ocean freight and shipments from the UK, which is standard.

So please stop the misinformation.

Whoever skybox charging them volumetric weight from the US via air is getting ripped off

Check yo shipments.

that's not correct.

it might be an exception with ezone and websource (i see aeropost doesnt), but most other skybox companies charge the greater of the two between volumetric and actual weight for air freight..this has almost always been a standard practice

e.g

http://www.caribbeanexpress.com/general/calculator.asp
http://www.csfcouriersltd.com/downloads ... eights.pdf

additional point to note is that the companies that dont charge you for volumetric "make it up" by charging higher shipment rates

not all that glitters is gold

[jeevdude199]

Did you click "from" miami "to" trinidad?

A minimum charge is applied to anything less than or equal to 4lbs, which makes sense. Is it profitable to charge "per weight" for the shipping of a package weighing a few ounces?

Lemme give you an example as posted below

viewtopic.php?f=4&t=400282&p=5797952&hilit=+volumetric#p5797952

Well my package measured 27.5 x 21.5 x 9.5 inches...accorindg to DHL's calculator the "volumetric weight" should be 41lbs

ezone charged for 10lbs.

Talk done.

I did..and unfortunately:

Range From Range To Rate
0 4 USD$12.40
5 and over USD$3.10/lb

that makes it even worse

what you dont pay for in volumetric, they surely make it up for by the rate/lb

[S_2NR]

Ezone is the most expensive skybox but i heard they're very very efficient.

As opposed to?

A cheaper rate?...2 flight shipments a week?

When your package gets to your skybox...how long after you get it in your hands brah?

Efficiency>cheap ting = you're getting ripped off

Amazing how you missed this

Guess your angus is comfy paying 41lbs for a 10lbs package while claiming to save a couple dollars

[equipped2ripp]

Yeah that's right. They're expensive, but you're guaranteed to get your stuff on time and they deliver to you.

[pioneer]

You're guaranteed to get your stuff, period.

[r3iXmann]

Guess your angus is comfy paying 41lbs for a 10lbs package while claiming to save a couple dollars

dunno how good your maths is but:

41lbs * $3 < 10lbs * $12.8

[chindian88]

keep it in the skybox thread please

[pioneer]

Guess your angus is comfy paying 41lbs for a 10lbs package while claiming to save a couple dollars

dunno how good your maths is but:

41lbs * $3 < 10lbs * $12.8

meanwhile at Ezone...

"volumetric weight" (what you guys pay) = 41 x 3.10 = $127.10 USD

Whereas they actually charged for 10lbs, 10 x 3.10 = $31.00 USD

Package in my hands the very next day, no damages, no sad story, no excuses.

Your "skybox" however...

Volumetric = 41 x 2.5 = $102.50 USD

Now IF they charged actual weight, 10 x 3 = $30USD

So as i was saying, you're comfy paying $102.50USD for a 10lb package?...

Guess your eyesight isn't that good, or your math.

31<102.50

27.5 x 21.5 x 9.5 inches isn't that big.

41lbs * $3 < 10lbs * $12.8

Ahm.. it's not 10 * 12.8

12.8 is for everything 4lbs and below, a flat rate. it's 10 * $3.1

[pete]

From their Terms and Conditions though:

Weight and Package Information

Dimensional weight or actual weight (whichever is greater) may be charged
Dimensional weight calculations (measurements must be in inches) [Length x Width x Height) / 166]

So your package MAY have been charged at 34lbs pios.

[pioneer]

Actually no, I asked the manager in person...you all can call and ask to speak with him...Syndey

He clearly stated they DO NOT charge volumetric air freight from the USA, only via sea or from the UK.

[pete]

Oh ok. Good thing u told me that about the UK.. was thinking to bring in some new front flares for my car from the UK but they kinda big but light.

[st7]

so fellas... where the best deals at this year?

[pioneer]

[Chimera]

Every day they always have some decent laptop deals, and you can even get factory refurbished ones for even cheaper sometimes.

Seeing as it's for donation that might be a good idea.
