I don't see why a toy should be an issue but as always in Trinidad...it depend on which officer u meet

email from rpm when i ask how long they taking to clear items these days

Thank you for your email. Generally we estimate within two (2) weeks, we have two flights weekly out of Miami on Wednesdays and Fridays. Once the flight has been confirmed locally, it will then await an appointment date for clearance from TT Customs. Once all proceeds as expected, usually clearance would take place on the following Monday for the shipment that leaves on a Wednesday from Miami and the following Wednesday for the Shipment that leaves on a Friday from Miami. Should you need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at 224-4RPM.

I had packages delivered on the 14th and finally was available for office collection today.

It's approximately a two week wait with them now upon receiving in Miami.

They can be disassembled to an extent, stick to brightly colored ones and you’ll be good. I brought it in with some stuff on a shopping crate whole and in packaging and it didn’t raise any flags. It’s really good fun lol but i left mine in the rain and it crapped out.

Florida getting jammed today.
Almost a cat 5 hurricane

Trying Jetpak with a small package.
Not bad even with the recent storm.

Can anyone post their costs from CAL Jetpak so we can compare?

I dont know why their prices are secret.

[Dave]

There is an online calculator where you can enter arbitrary figures to get a gage.

While that may be handy, the final price still varies. I don't use those calculators. I wanna see the final cost that CAL charges for their packages.

[Dave]

I know.
I would be trying as soon as the bank adds the new address and I shall report back. Item I am going for is coming from China so we may have a wait for that feedback lol.

[Dave]

are the cards coming in the package as the phone?

if not just send it to a friend and let them give u the info

they are stealing alot of stuff in customs these days i find

my wife gets a ipsy bag every month and every single month a item or two is missing from it. every single month

and you can see that customs is opening each item to check it because the packaging on each individual item is always damaged

good idea-- but the cards ship with the phone. i'll use the google store instead and get the credit there -- was gonna use it to buy pixel buds pro anyway

on the brightside jetpak has no tax attached to its address

[hustla_ambition101]

Anyone knows the duties on those battery pack jump starters?

[bgh]

on the brightside jetpak has no tax attached to its address

I noticed that on my last two orders which is awesome.

Also noticed that there are no duties and vat on cell phones.
So with no US tax, I ordered a prime day discounted phone.
Rate Calculator said TTD $110.00 to clear.
