Ahhhh boi,

“Released from Customs” in allyuh mc

Boom!

I see released from customs and still had to wait a week to collect the actual package

Sheit, sorry to hear mate.

Never had that issue, they are extremely consistent with the delivery schedule with my experiences and i order stuff pretty pretty often.

If its needed urgently, chance going into collect or do a curbside pickup.

[nemisis]

I normally go collect mine but early in the morning like 8 when they now open before people reach…..I hoping to see my “release from customs” today but I feeling is more a next week affair

[INDAVID WORKSHOP]

Guys, note they can transfer your package to the Marabella branch of Aero.

My item is scheduled for delivery next week but i can collect same tomorrow in Marabella.

This is definitely helpful service.

same nonsense by me.

[Chimera]

remember everything is appointment now

appointments are anything from 1-3 weeks after a shipment arrives

[paid_influencer]

them might just buy from Amazon directly. Amazon will pay all the taxes, refund you the difference if it end up being less, and send it DHL to your house.

I use VIP Platinum Express and they charge US$3.20/pound.
They giving a 10% discount if you vaccinated.

[Kenjo]

only good thing about aeropost is that you dont pay the state tax when shopping online

USA state tax to be specific

problem with that is that many items aren't allowed to be shipped out of the US ...so...yeah.
but with those that can, it works.

Does anyone know what carrier aeropost uses to bring in air freight? Cargo plane?

[dredman1]

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

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

I don’t have any problems with BestBuy shipping to a freight forwarder
However I get the problem with Target and Oficemax

I tried to purchase at bestbuy last week and didn't get through at all. Ended up paying a little more in walmart but the order went through

I had abandoned Best Buy because they started giving trouble to sky boxes a few years ago but I guess I’ll try back

Anyone tried any of the newer skyboxes with Best Buy (ones that may not yet be known by Best Buy)?
Or know of any of the more well known ones locally which may have worked recently?

[pugboy]

he is talking about sales tax refund if you are an exporting from the US.
Companies which export from the US dont need to pay US sales taxes.
