Perfume is hazmat because it is flammable. Doesn't matter if it's aerosol or liquid

Right ordered 2 bottles

Update from skybox
2 bottles max any size can be ordered and shipped (non aerosol pressurized types)

More than 2 bottles will be split and have a charge of 5usd added per bottle

Other than that it can be done regularly

Just clarifying.... can we still apply for a tax rebate for items purchased after dec 1st 2022? I just purchased a laptop to ship via jetpak and was charged tax.

The state of Florida has a three year maximum filing requirement for sales tax refund applications of any type. If you're speaking about the time requirements of a particular vendor, I can't speak to that.

I mean that before dec 1st 2022, when setting the delivery to jetpak address, I was charged no tax. Since the change tax is now charged. Were there any changes as to applying for a tax rebate or can I still apply for the rebate?

You can apply for refunds of sales tax by contacting the vendor. IIRC, Florida changed to 0% sales tax law. All you need is the exemption certificate from the freight forwarder to submit to your vendor. They probably already have seen the address and certificate before but may ask for it to pass on Florida Department of Revenue.

Didn't get back any refund yet. Submitted one and they responded asking for tracking number. Its kinda strange the tracking number no longer shows up on that order anymore.

Also seeing orders to jetpak address are now taxed, so idk if they changed that exemption

Also this is costly as the skybox will obviously charge more with all these different shipments from the same order.

Recent orders have option to "Group my items into as few shipments as possible"

That helps, sometimes. I use minimum number of shipments along with shipping to be received on the same day.

Even with Prime, Amazon will ship across multiple carriers or from multiple warehouses.

Incremental shipping costs can be absorbed but getting an order split into multiple packages with multiple delivery dates and documentation requests is unrecoverable sunk time.

Don't hold your breath, though. All of that has still yielded mixed results for me. I placed an order recently with all of those options selected. Instead of getting two or three of the identical items bundled together from the same order, they were still shipped separately. Some arrived a week later.

Now, I just place the order and expect it to come in separate boxes and budget the extra time, hassle and expense. Though I still prefer that to calling all over, checking local websites, being told that's it's in stock, and finding that the inventory was wrong once I get there. Good luck.

expect longer shipping delays as they are waiting to bundle everything.
