Finding information about Aeropost's true executives is like being in a 007 movie!


PACKAGE FOUND by Aeropost Miami and is on its way to T&T.

LOL. It seems that little talk I had with their Chairman was an incentive for them to find it.

Thanks for the advice, tuners.

So if i order a box with 3 items, and the order details saying it ship with 3 items, and the packing slip saying it have 3 items in the box, but i only get 2 items....what i supposed to do?

I sure Amazon wont take any liability so i didnt make any claims yet...

Anybody ever experience this?

Bump... Returning to skyboxes after some time. I was just using the calculator on Aeropost to see how much a 9usd seal for a thermostat will cost to ship.

$17.92- Is that right? Or am I missing something here. WTF

you sure thats not US$ buddy because customs alone will be around 40 % the costs and shipping is always a minimum of around 50-60TT$

That is US. Sorry I didn't make it clearer. But to pay 18usd shipping for an 8 USD item is rediculous

Yep. We all do it. Not much of a choice.

In my experience, once it comes in an envelope or some such small package, it usually costs under $100ttd. Shipped many seals and gaskets with that result via Aeropost.

Is that the freight cost or the price if you buy it from them?

Just checked a similar item that's 7US and their delivered price is 22US.

With other skyboxes you'd pay around TT$30 minimum shipping charge(5US), 7%OPT, 30%duty, 12.5%VAT which ends up to 56% on 7US is around $4. Total price landed should be $16-17USD

Honestly low priced items like that do not make sense shipping alone with skyboxes as the minimum freight cost is ~5US.

Try to get it locally.

Csf... But their charges were good. Customs charges were crazy. Not sure who collects the OPT. I mean, if customs charges it and us paid just like duty and vat, or if the courier is responsible for charging, collecting, and paying to the authorities.

so i looking to bring in 1 or 2 of these pumps

https://www.amazon.com/Red-Lion-RLSP-20 ... +lion+2+hp

65lbs weight each, 2hp

Red Lion RLSP-200 2-HP 80-GPM Thermoplastic Sprinkler Pump

Ezone has a "preferred air" option where it takes 5-8 days to reach
minimum 150lbs at $1.25 USD per lb

which isnt bad imho

their sea shipment has the same minimum 150 lbs requirement because its sea shipment i originally wanted
