usual thing around christmas time and with black friday sales is that the shipping companies like usps/fedex/amazon, if they have a few hundred or few thousands or tens of thousands of packages to delivery to ONE address, they will deliver a whole truck load or container load of boxes and someone will sign for it
so the package will show up as delivered on each individuals tracking but the skybox company would take a few days to sort through the containers and packages to log it to your account

Thats what guessing the total value does do. Only if you bringing a set of electronics or clothes to sell they will shaft.

Also depends on how the person feel that day :lol:


Prayers boy, plenty prayers! LOL.

There was a "maulana-looking" fellow not too far from me with one barrel. I was shocked when he had to empty EVERYTHING and then turn the empty barrel upside down. A real shakeout.

But the ordinary person clearing a barrel once it has basic items will not be hit too hard.

It's been almost 2 days now that Amazon has delivered my item and my skybox ain't email me saying they've received my item. I'm starting to get nervous here now.

X2. Peak season in the middle of a pandemic. Backlogs galore. But keep checking. You might get a surprise.

Allya lucky, I have a package delivered to Miami by Amazon on Monday 13th and my skybox hasn't even emailed me stating that they received the package in Miami. Things not looking good on my end. Might have to switch Couriers in the new year.

Jetbox...
Package received in Miami on Dec 1st.
Shipped and in Trinidad on the 8th
Awaiting customs clearance ever since.

Much less for my other package that was delivered in Miami on the 7th

And their Xmas "assurance" date was 13th in Miami eh.

Sigh....

to be completely honest with you, customs officers are holding shipments ransom

they asking for massive bribes since beginning of december as they know people need their items cleared before christmas

or they hitting you the 3 week wait for an appointment as well as the storage fees that will run up in those 3 weeks

their bribe price is usually just under what the price will be if you have to pay the storage fees

right now everyone screwed

Still no confirmation email from my skybox that they received my package in Miami. It was delivered on Monday 13th. Something wrong I feel. Will probably have to email Amazon and tell them my package wasn't delivered.
