Amazon shoppers

Use ah skybox nah goat. I nuh sure if goats allowed to have visa cards tho..

What advantage is there for me to use skybox?
Now as I said I'm knew to all ah this but I thought that you use skybox when Amazon doesn't ship to you country, isn't that the case?

with a skybox, you'll receive your items in a few days with little or no local U.S. shipping fees. If you ship direct to home, you'll have to pay an exorbitant shipping fee, and depending on the product, you'll have to go to customs to clear the items yourself. Also you'll receive the items in no less than 3 weeks, if you're lucky. Sometimes it takes 2-3 months.

actually it's the other way around. Always use your skybox unless the vendor doesn't ship to a skybox or is not in the USA.

On amazons website make sure you pay in US dollars. If you pay in Tt they charge something like 6.6 or so as the exchange.

[smr_fingers]

[konartis]

anything you buy online will come up cheaper when you get it here, i shop on amazon for almost everything...trinidad small business ripping of people here...its ridicules....

[pyromaniax]

So i ordered from amazon from 3 different sellers for the generally the same items so it was shipped in 3 packages using Aeropost.

When it arrived checking the finals fee's that i must pay only 1 out of the 3 packages where charged duty... my question is why was it only one package being charged when its basically the same items...

Looking to buy a tv from amazon but I don't want to ship it through my skybox company because of the weight,charges and it can easily be damaged.I am looking for an alternative way to ship it.Any suggestions?

[88sins]

GOAT you will have to pay for shipping charges, import duty and vat.
As a safety I just multiply the cost of the item by 10 to average for the total tt$ cost when it get here.
A skybox is the better way to go, cuz a lot of things ppl buy outside sometime amazon won't ship outside the U.S.. & sometimes its even cheaper than amazon int'l shipping(depending on the company you use)

The shipper you use is liable for any damage occurring to your property while it is in their care from the moment they sign for receiving it from the vendor to the time you sign for receiving it from them(@ least a reputable one would be), so you shouldn't worry too much about damage.
Not too many ways to avoid charges/taxes

Amazon will now allow you to set a default currency on your cc. So no need to keep remembering to switch currency from ttd to usd upon check out.

I think they changed this recently. I have mine set to USD default now.

Local dealers down here killin ppl fuh real tho. I understand that everybody need to eat & they have bills & expenses & tryin to turn a profit, but dis shite is jus plain greed w/o justification

Was able to get a better model than i would have gotten here for the same price. Saved about 2 grand. TV i bought was 10 grand here at the time. it isnt worth the stress though, worrying about warranty and all that. i was lucky that the tvs i bought are still going strong but u never know.

shipped with a company that used to be good but isnt anymore. u can SOURCE this information anywhere on the WEB or right here on tuner to see who i talking about. Just ship it with a mass charging skybox company who is reputable and you should be fine.

just go pricesmart is my advice. pricesmart prices really good.

[buckredan]

just multiply any item by $10.00tt dont forget to check your shippin from amazon

[bassotronics]

anyone knows how much customs charge on a life jacket?

[Cross Blood]

So if Amazon charges $6.8TT to $1US when using TT currency, how much TT is $1US when using the US currency?

[Monk BANzai]

Wanna shop on amazon but have no experience so just want a lil info before I move forward.
Lets say I wanna buy clothing are the prices listed on amazon all that I'll have to pay or will I have to pay for other fees in T&T?
Thanks.

for taxable items, mutiply the U.S. cost by TEN for a rough estimation of the tt conversion including taxes.

Find the shipping weight on the amazon product page, multiply that by $25TT add that to the above figure,

this should give you a close estimation of the final cost.

this is assuming a skybox delivery of course

yup..been buying meh old school sneaks there ...pay about roughly $500 TT for a pay of sneaks costing 55-65 US.... and thats with Amazon Prime.

[volcanosnowstorm]

Depends on your bank's rate at the time for USD.
