This is what is my wait time at the moment for some printer ink.


5 packages clear since Monday night and Aeropost driver cant reach.

Went today and collect myself via curbside pickup because they seem to quite slow over the last few weeks.

skybox companies have been running on one or two flights per week since CAL shutdown
previously they would use CAL daily cargo flights

But then you have to pass those prices on to your customers. Lucky is T&T you are dealing with. Customers will pay once they get their goods.

Can someone please guide me as to how to go about using FedEx as a freight forwarding service? Where or how do I sign up and how does it work? How long is the transit time (from the time the item is received at their address in the US to the time it is available for collection/delivery in Trinidad)? I need an item within 5-6 days and that is no longer possible with a typical skybox anymore as items are now taking nearly two weeks to arrive from date received in Miami. Any info or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

you do not need a miami fedex address
its your trinidad address you using

just give your supplier your Trinidad address and they will go to fedex or call fedex to pickup the package and it will come straight to you in Trinidad
2 day priority delivery takes 3-6 days these days

I'm thinking he doesn't understand what type of business FedEx is. They are not a freight forwarder so you can't send your Amazon packages there for them to skybox to TNT.

Guys I recommend giving RPM a try. First time in history a package reached in Miami on Monday and it was delivered to me on Friday the same week. I have tried Aeropost, CSF, websource, blue sky, IBC, all this year and RPM was by far the cheapest and fastest. The app is great too

They need to get rid of that "convenience fee" when paying with the app though. Websource doesn't charge that

Was informed by a rep today that the majority of CSF's drivers are under quarantine. Was wondering why my package was taking so long to be delivered
