The Official Skybox Thread: Take 2

[TheBoostLord]

Over the past few months my amazon orders have been broken up to singular shipments. It might be seasonal, because i never really notice it during the year. Even my latest order this week, 8 items(15 if you count duplicates) but 7 shipments. I use prime.

[Coppershot]

I always go with free shipping (5 to 8 days) and i am not a prime member.
Ok, if it seasonal thing, with them fudging their total number of items shipped, I will order outside of December month next time.

I ordered all my stuff after Christmas, weird part at least 2 of items shipped next day etc even though it was on 5 to 8 days free shipping.
In October and November they kept holding all my items until the 7th day before shipping it out.

[Chimera]

i does cant wait 7 days for shipping yes

if i order something saturday, i need it within 4-5 days in trinidad
i eh rly mind paying the extra but i eh rly like how what could have fit in one box, they put in 10

and its not that it came from different warehouses
they all have a tracking numbers in sequence and all left location at the same time and delivered at the same time

small thing, speed and efficiency not cheap lol


i will order a 5 pack again and send it to my websource account with free shipping and see the scene

Time to get rid of prime I guess.

[TriniAutoMart]

so um I decided to try seabox and shipped a UPS costing $165 and weighing 29lbs.

They hit me an invoice of $732

had to tell them a UPS is duty free, now I have to wait till next week for them to sort it out.

Did this get sorted out?

Ordered item Seabox. Delivered to Miami 4th December. Not a word since. First time trying seabox.
Just called to query. Awaiting feedback.

[simplec]

aeropost works wonders for me i normally buy from amazon and package take 2days to ship to Miami and from there most of the time i get same day shipping to trinidad. In the end package take sometime 5 days to reach .

[neexis]

only funny thing is they charge me $20 extra on one of the packages

other than that is real jamming lol

eZone lil pricey though... for a duty free item weighing less than 1lb to cost almost $105.

A bit Concerning...



I had a musical keyboard that was ordered late and got delivered on December 23rd. Didn't expect it to come soon due to the Christmas rush and the time frame etc so I told the person who asked me to order it for them that it would take a while. I got no email stating it arrived. I called last week only to be told that the warehouse was closed at that time and shipments would resume from the 8th of January.

Not that I'm panicking but I certainly can't recall getting any email notifying me when warehouse would be closing. This is also my first time trying them so I'm also unsure what to expect. Can anyone who's used them in the past state when they email you? Do they inform you that have received a package for you in Miami and it would arrive locally at a particular time? Or do they just let you know when it arrives locally and the cost? And how close do the estimated charges from the calculator match actual charges?

That's because they have a 5 lb minimum fee

[Morpheus]

That's what I deciphered. 1st time trying it so I really didn't know what to expect. Just went on previous guys experience of approx 3 weeks.

[S_2NR]

Next time choose free shipping. That is always consolidated for.

Not always true...
I just ordered 7 small miscellaneous items..like tiny items costing under 5US each..
I am not a prime member so i chose free shipping (5-8days)...
Package still got broken into 2 shipments...

Two is not bad compared to others here

[Morpheus]

^^Yeah I consider 2 more or less normal actually lol

Agreed.
But considering how small the items were...
All could have fit in a 8.5"x11" bubble wrapped envelope and they would have had a whole 8days to do it.

So now i'm gonna have to to pay 2x1lb freight + 2xinsurance + 2xfuel surcharge + 2x vat+ customs and on top of all that...i still wont get all the items together as 1 is in transit to miami and the other hasnt shipped yet.

It just is less cost/hassle for me to receive 1 parcel...
But i guess its less hassle/cost for amazon to send 2 seperate pkgs

lol csf their service is horrible on a normal day far less for around Christmas time i only ever use them when im looking for cheap rates and i don't need anything in a hurry or else is websource you pay more but at least the service is good and reliable

oh anyone brought in any game consoles via skybox?? curious to know how much they charge exactly most shipping calculators round the price @1k which i find is pretty excessive

Leave out the receipt in the order. Shipping company would quote lower price for customs (hopefully) and bam! Less than $500 to clear. #truestory #websource

nice plan but there's a possibility they quote an even higher price than what you paid then is double rape...i does fraid websource sometimes when it comes to these things lol

This has happened to be before on more than one occassion with aforementioned company...
So i started leaving the packing slips/invoices as it still works out a bit cheaper than the calculator

[WM_Tuner]

Finally collected my laptop last week Thursday, had to go in to the warehouse to get it. When I called on the phone beforehand, the guy said I need to give them FOUR days notice before coming in to collect any packages because they were busy. I still went lunch time and explained to them that I was waiting for this for a month and they got the box for me in about 5 minutes, date on the box shows clearly that they had it in Trinidad since the 7th DECEMBER. To top it off, on the way there I took a wrong turn, ended up reversing in someone's yard and scraped a concrete post on my way out ..some nasty scratches and dents all along the car door. Repair for that go be in the thousands ... I certainly not using this courier company again! Only plus side is the laptop working real boss.

Always leave the invoice out and if they quote a cheaper price, great. They have always quoted cheaper for me. If they dont they specifically say in the confirmation email to send a copy of ur invoice if estimate is off. Once you do that they adjust it to suit so you will never pay more only less.

Remember Amazon ships from multiple warehouses, even on a single order. As far as they concerned they shipping within the US.

You are literally describing your 3rd world problems.
