Their email acknowledging receipt of the first package said it scheduled to arrive in T&T on Wed 12th, and the second package said scheduled to arrive Friday 13th, but both if them also said a further 6 to 8 day delay with clearance after that *shrugs*

I’ll update on timeframes here once I get them.

UPDATE: Invoice for the first item received last nite. Status was saying “Pre-selected delivery” so it should be received today.

UPDATE: Invoice for the second package received last nite and status this morning is “Out for delivery” so should get it today.

Typically it was a week turnaround.


Depends on skybox company. With TE its around 1 week now after arrival in Miami, add a couple more days if its delivered via USPS.

My package at piarco since the 17th, was scheduled for customs clearance on the 19th, then it was changed to the 23rd and now I'm seeing it was changed again to the 25th. Have no clue why

So I got this email from eZONE that my package arrived and awaiting clearance and it's 19lbs. When the package arrives in my hands its actually 2lbs. So did I just pay for a 19lbs package that is actually 2lbs? WTF? :shock:

trinebox, amazon delivered all 10 packages last monday (16th), i got it monday gone (23rd), 1 was held back in customs for whatever reason and that one hasn't arrived as yet but i got invoice for it 2 days later than the rest so i guess it en route. An i'm in bago so i would imagine delivery would be faster if i was still in Trinidad.

In the Bond, it feels like how License Office is. Certain people can walk in and out and get their way with Custom Officers.

Things slow down. Package delivered to WS Miami on the 24th and the site saying package still there, even though my email says the package was supposed to arrive in trinidad on the 27th.

Aeropost giving level shaft right now with their charges.

Ordered a headphone from Amazon US$6.99 - about TT$50.

Weighed less than 16 ounces.

Aeropost charges were TT$104.00 - Freight was $74.00 / Service Charge was $20.00 and Return Insurance was about $10.00

No government charges

I really feel it for you.

BUT, if it was me, they would have found my stuff a long time ago.

I was writing everybody and copying everybody else.

Had that situation when Aeropost was foreign owned. The owner, in Miami, was shocked to get a call from me because his number was unlisted. When I was done telling him what I had to say, they found my item and it was shipped within 2 days. This was after no one could find it for 2 weeks.

this is a whole different type of situation

they know where the items are, its in a shipment that has less than proper customs documentation and so got bonded while that was being sort out

now it has alot of storage fees

and if you read the fine print when you sign up for a skybox company, hard luck for you if things are not delivered

even massive companies like fedex have some nice fine print that f#%ks you
