Amazon shoppers

[GOAT]

Wanna shop on amazon but have no experience so just want a lil info before I move forward.
Lets say I wanna buy clothing are the prices listed on amazon all that I'll have to pay or will I have to pay for other fees in T&T?
Thanks.

i think clothes is 20% duty plus 15% vat

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

most skybox websites have a calculator

example: http://www.caribbeanexpress.com/general/calculator.asp

[pioneer]

On amazons website make sure you pay in US dollars. If you pay in Tt they charge something like 6.6 or so as the exchange.

Yeah check it out its some ridiculous rate of exchange.

i think its more like 6.8, made the mistake once and payed in tt for a tablet.... was like close to $200 more when you use tt.

you can also get amazon prime free for six months if you go uwi or any tertiary education schools and have a valid email (.edu)
all you have to do is-
1. sign in your amazon account
2. click on your account
3. scroll down till you see account settings and click on amazon student membership
4. follow instructions and use your student email
5. for uwi students go on..... http://my.uwi.edu/web/mycampus/home and sign then go in email and click on confirmation link from amazon
6. VERY IMPORTANT - go back on account settings on amazon and click on Manage prime membership and take off auto upgrade (after the 6 months free they will automatically deduct for prime if you don't take this off)

amazon prime allows you free 2 day shipping on many goods

Thank you guys will look through everything properly tomorrow. Just did a quick check on skybox and like on a $100 purchase I'd have to fork up almost $100 to pay customs and delivery.

Thanks.

for taxable items, mutiply the U.S. cost by TEN for a rough estimation of the tt conversion including taxes.

Find the shipping weight on the amazon product page, multiply that by $25TT add that to the above figure,

this should give you a close estimation of the final cost.

this is assuming a skybox delivery of course

[GOAT]

The things I'm looking to buy, Amazon will ship them so how much of a difference will that make?
Lets say a $100 purchase.

d funk ! look how yuh learn something everyday.
Good looking out sk1111

[pete]

Allyuh really never knew that?

First time I bought something I had already worked out the price in TTD and when I saw their price I knew it was off so I knew to switch to USD.

This happens any time you go out of the country, they love to let you pay in TTD, never do it. I paid a ton more for car rental because of that..

[Sky]

^^ I realised when paypal try to buss my head on a $250 usd item. Because they show the cost in TT and it look suspect.

[Centric]

Use ah skybox nah goat. I nuh sure if goats allowed to have visa cards tho..

[2NR Smurf]

Amazon will now allow you to set a default currency on your cc. So no need to keep remembering to switch currency from ttd to usd upon check out.

What advantage is there for me to use skybox?
Now as I said I'm knew to all ah this but I thought that you use skybox when Amazon doesn't ship to you country, isn't that the case?
