The Official Skybox Thread: Take 2

[teems1]

I sent some in a barrel a few years ago. I still have a few bottles. Would you like one to use until you get yours?

I have also used vinegar in my Keurig in the past, but a mild solution. Then flushed out the unit with fresh water about three tank fulls.

Anyone ever brought in descaling solution for coffee makers via Skybox? Also is there someone who brings it in locally or a decent alternative?

I know Nespresso and Keurigs machines eventually need to descale.

It is basically citric acid which is used to descale the heating element in coffee makers.

Thanks for the offer but I should be good for the next 2 months.

I used the 1 packet that came with the machine. I just wanted to know if importing it via Skybox was an issue due it being an acid.

these shipping delays are going to kill alot of businesses this christmas

i have about 900 phones and 100 tabs stuck along the supply chain between suppliers in miami and shippers and local customs....
that all were suppose to be here since last week.

alot of those items were suppose to come for customers for christmas....so nuff flabbergastery

This can actually work in your favour, seeing that you wont have to pay custom duties on phones from Jan1

[sickbad]

It's a bit disappointing that i paid extra on amazon to expedite shipping to miami so my wife's gift can get here before christmas and it still didn't reach even though it reached websource miami 1 week before the cutoff date. I'll have to go shopping for another gift locally to give my wife on christmas yes lol

mmmm why not: wrap invoice and image of item to wife as "pre-alert" .. let us know how it goes

I have an iPhone coming in Week Jan 4th to Jan 8th. Wish me luck y'all

[stev]

customs still stealing people stuff?

ordered two Pandora charms and only got one....the one that's missing is a baby Yoda which i understand is in high demand.

customs obviously opened the package and charged me for BOTH charms yet I only received one. wtf

based on my experience in the past I can guarantee that the skybox (tropical corporate box) didn't open it because they never tampered with any of my packages that's addressed to the corporate box number.

Was with IBC since 2014. Their service is not like it used to be. I would not recommend them anymore and have completely locked them off & so did most in my family who were also with them.
Recently switched to Aeropost and the service is much better. Customs delays just like any other courier at the moment but customs charges are consistent with invoices. (*knock on wood*) The iPhone app for tracking and prealerts is really good also.

At the end of the day, it comes down to your budget and what level of customer service you expect.

Compared to everyone else I realise aeropost was always a bit more expensive because customs just jammed you with the invoice you provided.most other companies had tricks and their customs prices used to be cheaper

What if customs charges all phones by invoice date instead of arrived in the country date?

Just a thought for everybody trying to "be smart" and buy phones early.

[Kenjo]

January 1st to buy

Ent incoming roro vehicles getting hit with the new taxes once they land in January, regardless of purchase date?

Hopefully the same rationale would apply for cellphones.... hopefully.

I don't know if Aeropost is the cheapest but their tracking, reliability and especially the free returns program, make a big difference for me.

They are in no way the cheapest but everything else is better than most other companies . What I don’t need in a rush it’s Seabox instead
