good.. Very curious to kno how much they charged.

9YDMS · Postby **9YDMS** » July 6th, 2015, 10:52 pm

To answer all PMs etc...

Weight of 4 rims=104lbs
Freight=$1693.12
Fuel=$253.97
Duty=$617.24
Vat=$401.20
Total=$2965.53

Time from miami(skybox) to trinidad=3days

This is my first time with tropical express couriers and I would highly recommed them...customer service was excellent and this meant a lot to me...

They also have a seabox service which cost a lot cheaper..(0.95/lb)

Here for info.... Ocean freight is the better option for items such as rims. Usually takes like one week, three days before I get it . From Miami to Trinidad is Friday to Friday and about 3 days before containers are cleared etc.

I need info on how to select the right rims to fit my vehicle however...

waiz d chance of the rim being damaged?

I wa do d same thing if it afforable, RIM and Tyre if possible

^I think for tyres you would need an import permit...
