Hey question here. Has anyone ever had someone from the us send a package to you in Trinidad through FedEx. In this case, would the person collecting the package still have to pay customs fees and duties? How does this process go

Yes if local duties are charged the person collecting has to pay them

So the way the "group my items" worked with the skybox -
They were supplied the invoice for the shipment.
They only ever listed the first item on the shipment, which happened to carry the highest duty.
Skybox charges were based off the shipment's weight, and only that item's value and duties.

Anyone ever had problems with shipping genuine gold and diamond jewelry. Is there any restrictions on such items. ??

My guys, anyone ever encounter Amazon sending you a password to deliver an item? First time I'm seeing this, how do the skyboxes handle this? Aeropost specifically, nobody answering today so I'll try Monday but in the interim, how is this handled?

did you mistakenly deliver it to a amazon locker rather than your skybox address?

Unless the skybox implemented Amazon Lockers at their receiving location...no. Check with Amazon support. Look out for scammers and phishing.

PSA: everyone turn on 2FA for your Amazon login. Use Google or Microsoft authenticator app and authorize your account. 2FA is the only way in life now for everything online. Even if you have a password manager. Don't authorize a phone text or call OTP code for anyone else ever.


It's even tricker because look how Linus Tech Tips YouTube was hacked target a Session Token through a phishing email. Use an ad and malware blocker on your browser and use a malware screening DNS.

This is the main part of the email from the same email address that sends shipment/tracking info. Amazon's help page confirms it's a thing but I never got it before and clearly I won't be collecting the package.



your package will arrive:

Monday, April 3

info icon On the day of delivery, we will email you a one-time password to read to the driver for delivery. Learn more



Secure Delivery with a One-Time Password
Due to the value of some items, a one-time password (OTP) is required on delivery for some orders.

An OTP adds an extra layer of security to your packages.

If an OTP is required, we will send a six-digit, numeric OTP to your registered email address after we ship the item.

You can also find the OTP by selecting Track Package beside the order in Your Orders.

Your OTP is valid until the end of the delivery day.

Read the OTP you’ve received to the driver .

Nope. Nope. Never share an OTP. So this driver will call and ask for the OTP that you received? So they can now use it to verify your account that they just tried to access with your password? NOPE. Never share an OTP.
Report and junk that email.

Your Amazon account is compromised. Install Ublock Origin add on, use an incognito browser and change your password.

Even if the procedure is correct. You can't share an OTP with anyone ever. Just don't do it.

Be extra careful. If you think it's suspicious you're right. Why the sudden talk about Amazon Locker and OTP if you never do it before with Aeropost? Don't make a move until you call them and get confirmation.

Do not share an OTP ever. That's bullshiet.

yea i think phone surgeon is right. i seen that Amazon One-time-password ("otp") field on my ezone prealert page, right next to the field for tracking number, value, etc. is just a way for Amazon's delivery driver to confirm you (or your agent) are authorized to collect the package

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer ... 2CS752PLE3

read it there, on the official amazons webpage.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of a time token unique OTP?

So a "driver" could be trying to log into your account and ask for an OTP and everything cool? And also what's stopping the driver from receiving the OTP, marking it as delivered and then taking it? You know Reddit is full of all these cases if anyone wants a read.

OP make sure you talk to Aeropost and confirm all this procedure and verification with them.

I buy car parts from Japan and have it shipped through TTPost if I don't need it in a hurry.It usually takes a week after it arrives in Trinidad for me to get a letter stating the charges and where to go and collect.This has always been the procedure years now.Recently I shipped a pair of cars keys to replace my old broken housings and this has been the longest the package has remained in customs.

Is there some significant delay currently in customs other than the regular go slow delay or are my items classified as some kinda stolen car parts where they think I shipping in the keys afterwards?Should I wait to collect a letter to go in and clear my item,consider it lost or give it some time and wait?I visited TTpost today and they were of zero help.Any suggestions?

You got through with this?
Usually TTPOST takes a while but pulls through.
