[Morpheus]

my thing from the post office finally reached the warehouse in miami... 1 month later..

Mine turn to "Delivered". Just about a week later

[Trini Hookah]

I rather wait on the employee stuck in traffic who i know handling my goods with care.

care??

have you actually seen how they they fling boxes all over when they have to dig up for yours?

Central driver does this.

Never really liked his movements. My old driver used to know my timing, this one will ALWAYS pass when I not home.

[Chimera]

Got a package delivered to Miami office today. Let's see how long it'll take to reach trinidad in this terrible Christmas rush everyone is talking about

Easiest option would be to ship to your miami based skybox..I've done that in the past from China and japan

[Swisha]

[Morpheus]

You can go pick it up Thursday evening at their office in Fernandes compound or get it delivered to you Friday without fail

[Swisha]

Nope cant say i have. Arima driver at least takes his time and has his packages organised and always reorganising them so he know where everything is. Real cool dude. When he reach he goes straight to my package and then after moving it rearranges the other packages for the new available space and perhaps the order of his deliveries.

Call the office and ask them where's your package

Pouseyhole i am a born and bred citizen i could opinionalize how i want. South ppl own trinidad awah? With allyuh water solluble highway lmao

[2NR Smurf]

I feel the courier services in trinidad does lie about the duty tax and vat charged by customs

Of course they do.

I remember a time a skybox employee slip and told me that customs charges as a group. Not per item. And then the skybox divide up the costs amongst the packages based on size and description.

I've always wondered about this. If customs officers go through each item box by box or if they are just presented with all the invoices in bulk and just calculate duties & vat based on that, without ever actually seeing any packages.
I've seen people get cell phone, perfume, coffee etc with zero vat and duties to pay, just freight

[Chimera]

they don't search all boxes, they search some though

there was a time when it had some issue and customs was searching every single box that came in so that lead to massive delays about 2 years ago

i know for a fact that they open some boxes when they don't agree with invoice though

[pete]

Depends on the mood of the officer. A customs clerk told me once he was clearing a whole container of recorders (the flute like instrument they use in school) and the officer made them inspect every single box. However, once the officer is accustomed with companies and suppliers they become more lenient.

[X_Factor]

3 ppl you need to have in your family is a police officer, customs officer and a doctor!

[pugboy]

I just bring a pair of cycling gloves from ebay, cost $5usd
No invoice so i get wood $60

[redrum]

I bought a toy for(US$21.00) that's $187.00 with charges, it weighed 2 lbs and it stated so on package, it cost $187.00 to clear. When I asked the courier how come the invoice they billed me says 5lbs when it only weighed 2lbs, they said the used volumetric which was greater than weight. The sad thing is this toy cost $225.00 in the mall and I paid $374.00 for it. Another time I bought headlights for $US60.00 guess what it cost $1000.00 to clear. It have turners selling the same headlight here for $1500.00 Not me again with skybox shopping....

Always buy cycling wear gear in bulk, never one item. You will always come out a lil cheaper.
