The Official Skybox Thread: Take 2

the document I am referring to is a customs document (i believe) or a document from the out shipping company. I hope the amazon document works. Maybe you should call someone in customs and see if it will work.

[M_2NR]

Is it an RMA item? Generally you shouldnt have to pay once the paperwork is in place with customs.

Aeropost rates slightly more expensive than some others, they charge only by weight and not volume.

Sometimes the vat not correct on taxable items, usually a lil more than the real value.

Takes about 3 days from miami to trinidad.

Recommend you prealert everything to hasten the customs process.

Well item costing more to send back than to buy one new. So I tell them I'll pay full price for the new one.

Went by ups today, sounds decent. So I in for the reviews.

Viking ships within 2 days from miami to your door, vat and customs are always on point never over. Rates are pretty cheap.

Do not ever EVER order from AE.com on sale. Unless you email WS before or have a service that consolidates... Yuh gonna have a bad time.

AE partial shipped the order. It came in 4 shipments. No joke. All in 1kg parcels. Worse yet, WS somehow started declaring them as the pre-discount value which was almost double the actual cost. Thankfully WS assisted in sorting out the other 3 parcels with the correct invoice value.

(Big up BB!!)

Thanks

brought in a graphics card an mc websource class it as a fan so now i have to pay duty and vat.............mc

[M_2NR]

you should probably email them. They are generally on cue with issues. They sorted out the issue I had recently when my item was incorrectly classed and also in the past when I brought in an iPad and it was wrongly classed and charged as an electronic device.

[S_2NR]

skybox is up for renewal. may not renew with my current company since their quality has dropped.
may just switch to ezone from next year since they seem to have consistent service.

Jetmail is under new management it may be worth a try - I'm testing them out with a few shipments this Christmas

[craig lee quay]

2 questions.

Which skybox company is the fastest.
( cost doesn't matter )

And which company is the cheapest (speed doesn't matter)

[Chimera]

Ezone is fastest and most efficient

60lbs u looking at about $2000 + vat +duty. i suppose its a large tv over 50 inches, so your total cost with vat and duty may come up around 3-$4k ttd.

I'd like to know what are the skybox companies' position on the recent decrease and/or elimination of the fuel surcharges that they apply to our bills.

For example, Websource (currently) charges 17%
http://www.shipwebsource.com/inbound_rates.php

Caribbean Airlines (which ships in a lot of cargo for some of the skybox companies) recently (as reported on Oct 31, 2014) eliminated the fuel surcharge fee.
http://www.trinidadexpress.com/business ... 45302.html

While DHL continues to add the fuel surcharge fee, it has significantly reduced it from almost 12% in Oct 2014 to 8.5% for Dec 2014.

I wrote to several of the skybox companies about this matter and (amazingly) none have bothered to respond (surprise surprise).

Anyone has any input about this?

Giving them a little test out - I quite believe they don't charge Fuel Surcharge either.

Thanks. Was catering for $4 to $5k. Still seem to be saving a few grand total over buying locally. Only problem is warranty issues...
