The Official Skybox Thread: Take 2

[Strugglerzinc]

Well at 16lbs your charges correct at $150 usd. The 16lbs are charged by your courier not customs.

Once again the beatup is for correct charges.

By sea freight you mean right ?

[Chimera]

they say 16 lbs. idk how plastic bags will weigh 16 lbs. 140 food storage bags. which is plastic.

Your charges sound correct .

150 usd item is 65 usd in taxes.
And shipping weight at 3 usd per lb is 48 usd

That's 113 usd plus whatever other handling fees and insurance etc.

You need to also look at volumetric weight.

last time i got the same item from amazon i paid about $250 to clear from the skybox people pre covid. them customs shafting customers. before covid i buy play doh costing $25 usd and it cost me about $80TT to collect. last christmas 2020 it cost $230 for same $25 in playdoh which is more than the dam item. something going on in customs and covid helping their agenda

All these changes ‘ pre covid ‘ sounding like skyboxes that aren’t aeropost . I don’t think people realise how much those local skyboxes were giving them a Bligh all this time . The vat / taxes have always been generally high

It all depends on what you buy. I just bought a bed for US$300+, I paid about US$100 in freight and about US$100 in taxes and throughput.

Where you got the bed from?

Due to online schooling I wanted a loft bed for my kid to have a proper cubicle and bed without taking up any more bedroom space. Nobody locally was selling one so I decided to buy it. But if you want a normal bed there are plenty sources locally.

[st7]

yeah... i'll weigh options for black friday. locally, prices looks way better then

just when things were going good....

"...Here's a quick update on the shipments that arrived on the 27th, 30th and 31st August, 2021. We have been unsuccessful in obtaining permission to clear your packages up to this morning.
This is as a result of someone testing positive for Covid at the courier bound. Consequently, the courier bond is now closed until further notice.

We will continue to provide updates as soon as they become available and we thank you for your patience."

Got the same from TE

[Arcmanov]

So unfortunately, because Swissport is the ONLY company doing ground handling of all cargo, it means that the entire courier industry has now ground to a halt.

If everyone from bond has to quarantine for 14 days is more pain.
Guess wha going and happen with Customs when bond reopen.

Jah rass.

Doing over my son's room currently and the wife wanted the same concept Habit described. Wanted to have it done before school opened but my cousin who lives next to us passed away last week throwing off our timelines somewhat.

She ended up selecting a design where the bed has steps on the side which incorporates drawers as well as drawers below. He can also sit on the steps and chill.

Some woodworking guy in Gasparillo but OFC the coin is a bit high. All cedar design except the drawers.
