you Internet shoppers... THE BEST SKY BOX SERVICE!(ezone?)

[hustla_ambition101]

Yup.....mine is not a priority, but their logistics needs to be improved. Makes you wonder what was really needed, a huge warehouse in Piarco or more staff to handle the volumes

[pioneer]

LOL@ poverty skybox...I got all 12 of my black friday/cyber monday packages already.

Ezone is usually the most efficient. ..you pay a minimum charge of $80 something dollars were package...
There is currently the usual christmas back log, supposed to get some items yesterday but it still hasnt cleared customs...
If its something I can wait a few days for then I use my freight forwarder. ..ie fairway freight....a lot cheaper but usually takes about 4 days more

[TESTED performance]

In all fairness I wouldn't judge the performance of any shipping company as negative based on their ability or lack thereof to deliver packages on time during the christmas season. I wonder if trinituner mods will allow us to compare prices and compile a list of skybox companies and prices to choose the best one?
Aaron 2NR 4 days extra is nothing to me in most cases so i don't mind waiting an extra week if the cost is considerably cheaper.
Also has anyone used ezone's ocean freight option? how good is it?

[Xecutive]

everybody sayin their skybox company is the best... WHY? just based on price alone? that's not good enough. Nothing comes close to aeropost service. The downside is it's bloddy expensive.

I was once with Aeropost but realized they started robbing me blatantly. Had my credit card attached to the account to automatically process fees when my packages cleared. Good thing for me I usually tabulate all my expenses and monitor my credit card statements which showed me that I was actually being charged twice for some packages. Also, they would indicate at times that the payment wasn't processed yet and ask me to swipe my card again when in fact it was already done but they couldn't locate the receipt from their payments department. Later on, I noticed my account on their website showed outstanding payments exceeding 125us. I asked if I'm a credit card customer why would have outstanding balances if my payments are automated. I reviewed all my statements since 2007 and it took about 3months for them to refund me my money and clear my account. Around that time I ended up closing my account with the introduction of their customs charges of 2usd for every package that clears customs that is subject to duties as they could show no legislation or letter indicating such.

Yes I used ezone and Web source and ezone came up ontop cheapest rates ,with all the ps4 craze, i personally hand dilivered at ezone miami address sent 3 ps4 to trini on the 4th , bro called me lunch time today and said he just paid the delivery guy.
The delay was customs in trini .
The gamestop in bayside maket place have alot of units , the original bill was included , dont know what happen but in total customs, tax and ezone charges , 3 ps4 $1700 to clear.

[Xecutive]

Damnn bro...Daz a rell best price lol may get mine next week. Hope I don't get charged alot lol

[pete]

Probably charged duty and VAT for one PS4

[ruffrider27]

Probably charged duty and VAT for one PS3

Well I thinking to go buy 3 more and send again , going down town mia friday again , maybe personally handing over your packages to your skybix company saves you , I have alot of time to spare in mia must have hidden charges . But rember they saying anything after this week will be delayed .

[brandonology1]

Anyone here know whats the average cost to bring in a car amp? I quoted the purchase with aeropost and it was in the region of 300 to clear...

[EFFECTIC DESIGNS]

All of them does use ABX and Amerijet to transport cargo. And servisair handling all the ground work.

It eh have no best skybox.

[acesinghit]

Aeropost or nothing for me...once packages reach Miami I have them in-hand 3 days later.

TOTALLY LEGIT... customers beware... I had almost this exact problem and i forgot about it. Only I never gave them my credit card info thank god but my statement reflected high charges that no one could explain for months and it took very long to rectify the situation which simply was them charging me twice for the same renewal. Eventually when they figured it out they said don't worry just don't pay it but if they had credit card authorization they would have charged it to my credit card and I may never have even known.
I STRONGLY recommend not giving aeropost the option to automatically charge your credit card to clear your packages.

[mohawk]

paid $45USD for an item and the total shipping including vat+duties was $595

Duties and vat alone was $297

like d new rate is 100% awa???

[pete]

Customs duty and vat are really supposed to be attached to the CIF value of the item.

Also, maybe a higher value was used, say it was supposed to be 70US and you got it on sale for 45 maybe they used 70 for calculating the duty and vat. So if the shipping cost was $200, the item value of $450 then the CIF value is $650. If it was an item that had say 30% duty and 15% VAT that could be as much as $340 in duty and VAT.

As I said before, that's one of the things I'm afraid of when bringing in something. Have you made a query to the company?

[mohawk]

trying to call them but busy all the time.. sent 3 emails. will have to go in.

the item was a display item from a major store. a 4ch audio mixer.



have ah xbox and some other stuff coming down. ah frighten...!!!!

[TESTED performance]

I personally hate that CIF nonsense. What's the point of me buying refurbished or used stuff or buying items on sale if customs is going to just decide that They think my item should be twice as expensive and therefore charge me double the vat and duties i should rightfully be charged? Mohawk is absolutely right. In many instances you pay a rate of 100% in tax; Utterly ridiculous!

Say what you want about aeropost but these people are no joke. In the spirit of this discussion I "hawkeyed" my last package just to get an idea of how fast aeropost actually ships and I'm seeing that UPS delivered my package to miami at 5:18pm Yesterday and Aeropost had my package in trinidad going through customs less than 3 hours later at 7:59pm yesterday evening. I had no idea they shipped that fast. The package was prealerted but still holy crap that is insanely fast shipping.

lol.

please tell us when you actually get your package because the flight from miami is 3hours 40 minutes
and i really doubt they were able to get a package onto a flight if they received the package at 5:18 pm

also considering that most of those offices in miami close at 4pm.

[TESTED performance]

don't worry i'm watching it like a hawk... i'll keep you posted

[kurpal_v2]

Looks like I'll get my packages after all from the sause

[grimreaper009]

Aeropost usually moves fast to ship packages and have the ready...look a pic of one of my latest orders

It's just that there prices sometimes you come out good.....next time your sore......

[javishm]

^ Thats a nice service...

[~Vēġó~]

anyone here with the actual skybox company? found them pricey but good customer service..nice lil vid of item being packaged, etc......unsure if to leave them out and go with anoher....last transaction was an otterbox which cost like US$27 in shipping and customs....

???? anyone????

[pete]

People with websource have gotten cases for 39tt.. I brought in a obd2 bluetooth adapter and paid same thing. Thought it would have been at least 100 to clear.

[hustla_ambition101]

Got all my stuff yesterday AP was much faster than the sauce

[mohawk]

Question - when UPS deliver a package the company get it the same day or there is a waiting period like USPS?? have packages delivered since the 10th and still no update from the "sauce" that they received it.

[Strugglerzinc]

UPS delivers directly to the address.

Nothing new with the sauce.

[pete]

Same OBD2 thing was supposed to be delivered on the 2nd, other stuff was delivered on the 3rd and 4th and got the message they received it but nothing about the OBD2. It came eventually, no big deal.
