looking for a skybox to bring in clothes and small items... which seems to be the best option?

Taking the suggestions of you more experienced purchasers.. :P
I'm getting the jist that CSF is long with bad services and WS is expensive.. was with LAparkan last year but their rates went up and delivery delays became more common... like 2 wks for an item,,.. smh

Guys, what may be the average price so to bring in a cell phone approx 600usd. Know the calculater figure is much different to what is actually paid.
Couple friends told me they brought in and cost from 200-500Tt. This normal?

signed up with seabox, customer service seems nice so far. Got confirmation email next morning, a rep called to make sure I got it, confirm info etc. Rates look good for heavy items.

Yea this
this what I'm afraid of. Don't wanna get shaft with a $1800 charge

Btw signed up with Laparkan. Bought 3 apparel items on amazon totalling about $80usd, weight about 3 lbs. Cost me $125 to clear. Not too bad at all I think.

Best bet is to send it with someone coming from away. OR bite d bullet and go to the pharmacy and buy some ky to prep for the shaft.

While I never had to undergo "misplaced" goods with these items with WS, I've heard of others with other companies who bring in phones and items were missing from the box after being tampered with by customs/freight forwarder/piper/thief/(whatever suitable name applies).

dont expect any sort of online tracking....all you will get is when they add the package to the shipment after they receive it and still, you may have to call to confirm stuff

dont expect a package before 2weeks...sometimes ur lucky, most times ur not
