them might just buy from Amazon directly. Amazon will pay all the taxes, refund you the difference if it end up being less, and send it DHL to your house.

problem with that is that many items aren't allowed to be shipped out of the US ...so...yeah.
but with those that can, it works.

Yup, try another seller or use another courier.
Some companies are now blocking shipping to fright forwarders
Best Buy has been blocking couriers for years for example. I just buy all my stuff from eBay now.

I don’t have any problems with BestBuy shipping to a freight forwarder
However I get the problem with Target and Oficemax

I tried to purchase at bestbuy last week and didn't get through at all. Ended up paying a little more in walmart but the order went through

I had abandoned Best Buy because they started giving trouble to sky boxes a few years ago but I guess I’ll try back

Anyone tried any of the newer skyboxes with Best Buy (ones that may not yet be known by Best Buy)?
Or know of any of the more well known ones locally which may have worked recently?

he is talking about sales tax refund if you are an exporting from the US.
Companies which export from the US dont need to pay US sales taxes.

pugboy · Postby **pugboy** » June 17th, 2021, 9:00 am

companies who export over there have a registration you can show to get exempt from sales tax

there are other ways also

All the smaller couriers getting jam the hardest.
They have to almost beg Customs for an appointment to clear goods. What you'll save in fees, you'll pay back in time wasted.
