It was in decent condition. Just opened a couple of things idk why.

Waited about a month and a half. Delivered to Florida sometime mid July, received today.

No Grand or great grand

PS. They said that they’re working on the massive backlog of packages they’ve had outstanding for awhile now.

Is there any shipping company that purchases for you and ships at sea? Person has some items to ship that air would cost too much. About 24 lbs.

CSF has sea freight. Never used it, so can't vouch for it though.

CAL launches re-defined Jetpak door-to-door service.

The airline said packages will be delivered to customers' doors.

That future option linking to miles rewards will offer a unique value proposition in a saturated market.

CAL will most likely prioritize their own cargo ahead of other skybox companies during peak periods as well and I think they already have their own bond so clearing so in theory their service should be faster as well

I might try a shipment to see how it works.

Already sounding like it might be the most costly skybox service in T&T.

Tuner need to open their own skybox service. The amount of experts inside here day in and day out I'm sure one of them also has the expertise to open one.

Does any of these local companies have their own jets, or are they just renting a shipping container space on regular passenger and cargo trips? I know CAL carries regular mail back and forth as part of their cargo, since it's their planes they could well be the fastest and cheapest courier?

Hello all, just wanted to share my experience with CAL Jetpak.

So far I’ve been using them for around 5- 6 weeks now. Service has been impeccable, they’re averaging around 6-7 days from receiving in Miami to delivering to my door.

I have also attached some screen shots to give a better idea of transit times.

All in all I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

Question: is there a way to bypass customs/duties charges on a item for trial use?

Will give CAL a try. Just signed up for them. I usually use Aeropost which is pricey so I have nothing to lose if they come in cheaper and are quicker

I could imagine some of them skybox companies totin feelings when CAL enter the market. Imagine the airline you renting cargo space from on flights competing with you on your core business, in another country it’s actually a compelling case for a fair trade lawsuit.

right now the biggest tech and graphics card companies are entering the retail space leaving third party manufacturers to drop the line and even close businesses. Eg the NVIDIA and EVGA end of an era market. Middle man getting chop!!!
