RPM indicated today that they cleared all my packages....they'll be delivering tomorrow.
They also indicated that a new rotation of workers are at the bond so work is back on!

How does surface mail work when shipping an item to Trinidad?I know that the package will be shipped by ocean to save money because of the weight but which company locally handles the package when it reach?Will I have to go in myself at one of the ports to clear it or hire a broker?Does TTpost deal with any form of ocean shipping?Any further information on the topic would be greatly appreciated

Anybody experiencing delivery delays with WebSource? After the packages are cleared and ready for delivery btw.

Waiting a week now for the courier and still can’t see them. They used to keep their customers informed on days when they can’t deliver but it seems like their customer service is non existent lately ..

Did they state
: out for delivery or
:released from customs?
A couple times well all I saw was reased from customs and had to go in to collect. And when they "feel to" some items are actually delivered..

Pay local price then.

I see a store selling a reef slippers for $500 that I normally pay 25 usd for plus maybe 100 in shipping and tax.

I will wait the 2 or 3 weeks yes

It is not possible to buy from Home Depot or Lowe's online from outside the USA. They will not accept international credit cards on their website.

However, do a search online for international orders on either Home Depot or Lowe's. You can email them and from there you can arrange for a quotation and delivery to your FF. I was looking to buy a lawn mower last year and contacted both and got my quotes. You will have to be complete a form with your cc information. I didn't go through with the purchase because the shipping cost plus the item cost was too much for the item (battery powered mower) as hazmat charges were incurred.

Reach out to them. I do not know if this service applies to smaller items.

a 2020 SE brand new sealed in box 64gb sells for between $4000 to $5000 locally

$4000 if you're a random seller on facebook and cant provide any type of warranty or security to the buyer

$5000 if you're a store that can provide warranty/after sales service

what do you mean surface mail?
From wikipedia-Surface mail, also known as sea mail, is mail that is transported by land and sea (along the surface of the earth), rather than by air, as in airmail. Surface mail is significantly less expensive but slower than airmail, and thus is preferred for large or heavy, non-urgent items and is primarily used for sending packages, not letters.

The tropics taking on average of 2 weeks from what I see recently.

I was watching this RPM page.
Air Prices a bit higher than tropics, per pound.
Using their calculators, the shipping fee is not much more but I see they have an 'Insurance' fee which increases with the item cost, which makes the overall price higher.

But anybody dealt with RPM Ocean/Seabox?
Trying to bring down around 500lbs.
I didn't see any figures on the site about time/cost.
Tropics said USD1.50/pound (volumetric) and I might most likely stick with that because I not in a hurry, but I still interested in hearing what ollor RPM users have to say.

ttpost have a set of different services

EMS network
Hummingbird Express Shipping
Parcel Post

but with regards to anything with sea shipment from abroad to here, whoever you buying from will have to organise specific shipment to Trinidad with export documents and proper packing etc

they might talk to a big shipping company abroad like Laparkhan etc who will handle the logistics and when it arrives here they charge you their shipping and all other fees and you can pay them to handle the brokerage and delivery or you can go clear and collect yourself
