Same freight rate here
If you look at your invoice you can see exactly where the charges came from .. shipping/duties

[Kenjo]

Aeropost is by far the most expensive which used to be worth it when they were the most efficient but …

Show us the invoice for the charges and how much its valued at.

Aeropost used to be 'expensive' because other companies used to declare the value to be less than it actually is.

What's the difference between online purchase tax and import vat...add customs duty to that....seeing some rather disturbing figures on some items I purchased recently...used web source

[Dave]

Online tax is the 7%
Import vat is vat charged on imports at 12.5%
Duty/Customs charge is the rate the item being imported is taxed by the government such as motor vehicles parts 30%

All these taxes to dissuade the public from buying foreign and support local yet it still cheaper to order online LOL . Online tax only applies to air cargo as items brought through sea are not subject to such

[Dave]

Everything imported into the country is subject to these taxes. The only new one is the 7% as rightly stated applies to online shopping through air freight.

You can go to any local skybox website, they have a "calculator " that would give you a breakdown of the categories of items and their associated taxes.

Thanks for the feedback....the extra shaft i get was from customs. Checked old invoices from other couriers, very soon its gonna be cheaper to jump on a plane and go shopping. Covid or not!

[Dave]

And hopefully not get jammed in the airport!

Jason that is 100% accurate.

Which is why they are never taken seriously and are just a bunch of bobolees.

You would think providers would try to step up their game and adapt, however, Aeropost has a package received on Nov 4 and still hasn't left Miami as at the 10th.

Wonder if they blame customs for that.
