The Official Skybox Thread: Take 2

[Musical Doc]

didnt order stuff in months to skybox

tried it last week
item was delivered on the 11th of July. Websource emailed today to say they received it.

We have received the following package at our Miami warehouse. It is estimated to arrive in Trinidad on Friday 15th July.

However, there will be a further 6 to 8 day delay with clearance at the airport due to constraints beyond our control.

an update to this, item was ordered 11th july
today is the 25th of July, status of package on websource app is "delayed- pending airline update"

Clearly it have some kinda mess somewhere because I had stuff that I ordered after the 11th and I receiving them tomorrow. It had cleared customs on friday

Has anyone tried the skybox with Caribbean Airlines as yet? What’s the quality of their service?

Any link to their website for signing up etc?

Jetbox delivered my prime day purchases last week and today...still waiting on WS

Got a day one Prime Day purchase delivered by Websource yesterday. Still waiting on another purchased on day two Prime Day.

I got Websource's "received in miami" notification email and the "awaiting customs clearance" update for both packages on the same day, but this second package's status is now reading " Piarco - Customs Has Postponed Clearance - Awaiting Update "

Never saw that update before? Anyone ever got that?

Looking to ship a cordless lawn mower approximately 70lbs. Who would y'all recommend for most economical rates? I accustom using SeaBox and their estimate is $1500 so looking for options. (not the azul skies eh )

It is not possible to buy from Home Depot or Lowe's online from outside the USA. They will not accept international credit cards on their website.

However, do a search online for international orders on either Home Depot or Lowe's. You can email them and from there you can arrange for a quotation and delivery to your FF. I was looking to buy a lawn mower last year and contacted both and got my quotes. You will have to be complete a form with your cc information. I didn't go through with the purchase because the shipping cost plus the item cost was too much for the item (battery powered mower) as hazmat charges were incurred.

Reach out to them. I do not know if this service applies to smaller items.

Hey guyz ..y'all ever buy n ship form home Depot.? Do I choose anyone or the one in Miami...p.s do they ship to skybox..any info will be appreciated

Who were you shipping the mower with bro?

[carluva]

Laparkan.

But the hazmat charges were quite high and made it uneconomical.

Check locally for a unit. You can get Echo from Trinitrac or Ego from Hadden.

Both should be cheaper than bringing down one yourself.

But I have always had poor customer service from Hadden and have never bought from them. YMMV.

cordless lawn mower probably have a big lithium ion battery.... when them skybox companies see that, is hazmat charges and that quickly gets expensive..

if it is bulky, they will charge you volumetric weight, so it might be 70lbs but you will be charged for 100+lbs.. check the calculators on the different skybox sites, they will have a spot to put in dimensions and it will tell you whether it will be charged by actual weight or volumetric weight..

[Arcmanov]

So apparently power-banks are considered 'hazmat' now...at least the ones with lithium-ion batteries in em.

I haven't had to ship one in about 3 years.
Since when is this a thing?

When its over a certain size and amps from what i was told

I had ordered a hoverboard for someone and they took the battery out and shipped it separately as hazmat.
Battery came about 6weeks after in another package

yea, it based on the capacity of the battery. think is like past 100 watt hours or something, don't quote me on that.

I already have a bundle of tools and batteries in the same brand so just looking to add lawn mower. Will most likely ship via sea freight given the weight so just looking for options. Will contact Laparkan for quote.

[carluva]

What brand of tools is it?

[NR8]

Greenworks
