So far so good. The customer service from Amazon is great and that is a big factor for me...

What was the item and the charges?

[mad]

I don't know if this is the tread for this question, but has anyone shipped an engine from Miami?
I would like to know the cost for shipping and clearing and the best way to minimize cost.

[rishi123]

RPMExpress down to a week clearing and delivering as well. Bluesky still stuck. Just hoping that they deliver those packages one day this year.

[Chimera]

things back to normal mostly

3-4 days

[st7]

packages reach websource yesterday. go let allyuh know how long it takes

[Blaze d Chalice]

a bejrin showed me his receipts from Tropic. Total about tt1400 to clear 140lbs of computer parts by seabox but it took about 6-7 weeks (some of the stuff bought early December.)

I brought a few things through Aeropost, one package get divided into 2 by amazon, and when both reach TT (2 of the exact same items/weight) there was a price difference of about 15$

[Swisha]

Got an email from websource that deliveries would be temporarily unavailable for 2 weeks from Monday. Anybody knows why?

local deliveries, or from Miami to Trinidad?

[Swisha]

Local deliveries. Seems like not everyone got the email so guess it's just my area

[Chimera]

Drivers probably on quarantine

[rishi123]

Just got a call from Bluesky. Seems like their sea packages are scheduled to be cleared within 1-2 weeks. Not sure if they're just saying that because of all my angry emails, but it's some hope at least

[st7]

Local deliveries. Seems like not everyone got the email so guess it's just my area

i got an email today stating that today they wont be deliveries in my area, and it'll resume tmr

[justheretoreadthecomments]

Has anyone ever had an item overvalued by Customs and given a ridiculous figure to clear the package? If yes, how did you treat with the situation?

Ordered a solar panel regulator that weighs less than one pound, costs approximately $25USD and WEBSOURCE sent me a bill for $800TTD

[Dave]

Yes. Ordered a dozen oil filters and even though the actual price was sent and I did get a good price due to volume it was over valued.
You can address it but is it worth it? Idk.

[Kenjo]

It has a way but most skybox companies tell the customer pay it and request it back from customs who we all assume are tedious to deal with

[Dave]

Exactly. The savings I got was paid in the extra charges so at the end of the day it came like I ordered my usual 6. Not going through that.

[MaxPower]

Skybox companies liking their self using Covid as the excuse for everything.

When will it stop?

[justheretoreadthecomments]

Exactly. The savings I got was paid in the extra charges so at the end of the day it came like I ordered my usual 6. Not going through that.

But here's the thing, the inbound calculator estimated it to be $80TTD to clear. They put a value of $200USD on a $20USD item, even registered it as a watch, when it was a solar panel regulator and subsequently billed me $800.

How did you go about querying this? I didn't pay Websource yet, I asked them to put a hold on that package for the moment. What kind of extra charges you had to pay?

[Chimera]

The sky box companies suffering because of covid though.

You think they want to pay more for shipping and more for storage in their warehouses abroad and customs bond locally?

Also have to deal with irate customers everyday?

I going through that endlessly months now.

People paying for items and then when it stuck in customs they eh wanna hear that.
So I does refund everyone who wanna quarrel and then just sell the item otherwise when it reach.

Just curious - did you pre-alert and attach an official invoice showing the $25 value and solar panel regulator description?

WS and Customs screwed me with a dash cam and wiring kit, I paid it because the hassle will cost more in the long run. Going back to Jetbox, they are slower but their shipping rates are better
