Anyone use the websource mobile app to pay an invoice as yet? I noticed they said payments would be in US so just wondering what kind of conversion rate they're using...

USD scarce to get how web source could do we that at this time given that situation. That is madness!

just use your credit card. the same way you buying on amazon and ebay in USD

I know but websource provides an invoice in TT. So when you pay the US amount on the app and convert that amount to TT, is it coming up to the same amount or more that was stated on the invoice?

I prefer to save my scarce USD to buy things on that site and just pay in TTD to websource. This is awful what web source is doing.

it's paid via a credit card, which you can pay with TTD at the bank, not so?

I don't use credit card I use visa debit card with a limit on how much USD can be put on the card per month.

[Chimera]

then just continue paying with TT . you dont HAVE to pay in usd. theres an option and added benefits of doing it

Been using Aeropost's app to pay for a while now.

[trinigamer]

Just brought in a laptop battery and some USB cables, no vat or duties.

Brought a laptop battery last year and it was taxed.

[Dave]

I always paid vat alone in laptop batteries and accessories

[bluefete]

shipping times eh normalizing at all yes

it sickening!

Global supply chains have been disrupted by Covid. People now starting to feel it.

Look at some of the products on Amazon and the wait times to order / get them.

What is the advantage of doing this vs paying when the driver delivers?

Ok so been reading through the last few pages.

I've never used a skybox personally
Recently got my own credit card

Would like suggestions on which skybox/seabox to use

I read and saw:

IBC Express
Ezone
Aeropost
Seabox tt

I would only be ordering small stuff...accessories(car/phone), cables, pc parts, etc nothing too heavy

Aeropost has free returns, multiple branches, delivery, and a tax-free address in Miami (pay no tax on amazon)
People say they more expensive than others, but i feel thats due to they giving the exact value of the package to customs from prealerting. The other companies have to do that now, so that balance would change...

[trinigamer]

Seabox is ocean freight, useful for heavy non-perishable items, takes about a month to get your stuff.

I use Aeropost for air freight, although Web Source is good to apparently.

Check if any have membership fees, Aeropost has none neither Seabox.

You should consider having both a skybox and an ocean freight account for different items based on weight and how quickly you need anything.

Anyone encountering issues with Amazon not being able to ship to their skybox address?

I am with Aeropost and a few weeks ago I bought some smart LED bulbs and they were sent to my Aeropost address with no issues. I tried yesterday to buy a few more bulbs and all of a sudden, they can't ship to my address. When I checked the possible reasons on Amazon, the most likely reason is that the items are being shipped to a freight forwarder and these items are not for export.

Any way around this? Is Aeropost the only freight forwarder getting this issue?

[X_Factor]

i had the same experience using websource
i switched over to rpm express and no issues there

Yup, try another seller or use another courier.
Some companies are now blocking shipping to fright forwarders

Same issue. I just ordered the same product somewhere else.
Not sure if amazon is intentionally trying to lose business.

[Chimera]

Its not Amazon fault. There's a lot of regulations with electrical products specifically about where they ship to. I had to make a us llc and get a certificate of resale in New York to be able to purchase phones from one of my suppliers as they aren't allowed to export usually.

Best Buy has been blocking couriers for years for example. I just buy all my stuff from eBay now.
