Now i know if have plenty threads about skybox services already but with the increase in charges i want to know which one is the cheapest currently....and is still efficient. Right now i with ezone for a few months and their charges increase twice. what are yall suggestions for a cheap and efficient skybox

i'm using upxpress 638-4877
relatively cheap USD$30./YR
1st lb USD$6. 2nd USD$8. etc....
prompt delivery not more than 2 days after reaching miami

There is a free one with mastercard, check the mastercard site if you have one, sorry can't remember the site right now.

i think i might give jetexpress a try....but that delivery thing kinda messed up

last time they only had one driver too, and i not always at the place of business, they use to come in front and then call for me and i miles away or in a class :s

i end up telling them to keep whatever package reach for me in their office and i use to go collect them (office is in boundary road)

btw i order a 32inch LCD HDTV las week and it reach the skybox in miami at 12:14 pm wednesday.

I`ll tell you when they deliver it to me in Trinidad



some companies does charge you on volumetric weight :s
I think ecouriers.

Know someone who ordered a golf cart for $20 US and paid $700TT for shipping via ecouriers

is stinking customs does write up the duty and vat

no snyper, that was $700 SHIPPING charges

the duty and vat was separate and was like 75 TT altogether

Masterdelivery charges US$3 per lb. No subscription charge. More transparency than Ezone with respect to customs charges. They attach a copy of the customs declaration showing the amount charged by customs. Ezone doesn't do that. However, despite having an invoice declaring the value of the item purchased, they still assume a value (upward) and customs charges based on that assumed value. For instance, if I buy a CD online for US$3, they still charge duty and VAT on a value of TT$100. That is robbery!

yeah i find ezone ridicudlous but their delivery and speed efficient so if i cud get a skybox with that same efficient but cheaper then i would be in the game. when u buy thing from ezone is best you had buy it in TT yes.

Anybody have CSF couriers? or zipx? how are their prices and delivery speed?

so what about jsl speedpak anyone have any info on them. are they cheap and efficient?

i think jsl sppedpak have a free account so i'll try that next month since my ezone exspiring this month. hope they deliver

nah i doh think jsl is deliver to ure door
u would have to go collect it in there office

you serious....nah i rather the delivery. If they doh deliver then i might hadda forget about them.

btw... Upxpress is not USD $6 per pound, is just $6 for the 1st pound, $8.00 for 2 pounds, etc. So it comes up to round the same thing.

no that is not true jsl delivers wherever you want them to deliver they just have certain days where they deliver to the north and certain days in the south and so on. i know this cause i am with them and i find they cheap and very reliable and when i want them to deliver to my work they do it. you have a choice of having your goods delivered or you can pick it up you just have to call them and tell them what you want.

or ok cool...well i'll call and see and give them a test run next month.

still no info on csf couriers or zipx?

671-CSFL - thaz their number.

JSL's rates are probably the best right now.

Ezone is #1 at speed and efficiency. But their charges have exceeded that now.

jetexpress.

$30 US a year (or was it $50?)

anyway

$2.50US for each pound from 1- 50 pounds

$2.25US for each pound from 51-100 pounds

$2.00US for each pound 100 pounds and above

delivery times kinda okay...they only ship out of miami on tuesday and thursday

Ok ppl i need to get information on the above.

lets say i order an item costing $100.us an it weighs 100lbs. The chart above says that it will cost $2.00 per pound so the total item will cost $300.us. What i need to know is if that will be the cost shipeed right to your door or there are other charges as well.

inocrew u would have to pay duty and vat as well on your item

depends what you ordering but most things is like 20% duty and 15% vat (well everything i ever ordered was that rate)

If its costing you 100 US (that has to include shipping to your skybox eh, from the website to your skybox because they duty and tax you on the FINAL cost)

so 100 US X 1.20= $120

$120 US X 1.15= $138 US

$38 US for it to pass customs in Trinidad

then 200 US for jetexpress themselves

so if you pay $100 US on your credit card

you`ll have to pay 238 US to jetexpress down here (because they doz pay the customs charges for you and you pay them back)

dat estimate working with 100 pounds weight eh....

Thanks for the info fello tuners.

guys i'm gonna stick with my upxpress cause it's almost the same for heavier items....plus reliable shipping schedules..& prompt delivery....
most times customs buss u up & sometimes on similar items u go free...
plus no volumetric charges.....
guess i had a good thing going & didn't even realise it.....

ezone raising their rates again because of increasing fuel charges from miami to trinidad
Got the email today and they raising it tomorrow from $3.15 per pound to $3.25 per pound from 4 to 10 pounds.

Any other skyboxes raise their prices??? anybody knows?
