1) local or skybox address works
2) no , might need it for other sites though
3) when you see order shipped.

Have The bank put your skybox address on your VTM card.

Set your billing and shipping address to your skybox address on Amazon.

The VTM card is in US$ currency so make sure you are paying in US$ on Amazon when checking out. Select "switch currency" and choose US$ before checking out.

You will get an email from Amazon when your order has been placed and you can track your shipping on Amazon. Your skybox will let you know when the package was received at their Miami warehouse and when it gets to T&T.

You can call credit card center or sign up for online banking to check the payments on your VTM card.

for free yes. You have to sign up for Amazon Prime. If you buy alot from Amazon it's definitely worth it. You also get free movies on your Smart TV, PS3, phone or tablet.

You can pay to have one day shipping with Prime as well.

Use ur skybox address....sometimes ur not allowed to ship to your local address.

and plus it will cost you less in the long run to ship to the skybox then to trinidad

yea they can ship to your cousin. Just notify the bank of the shipping address and everything will be fine

With Amazon I have shipped to three different locations without even telling the bank once. Only on my last couple purchases I've gotten problems. Just put their address for delivery and you should be good to go. Those seem to only have a problem because of using usps instead of a Courier. Expedited shipping and at least you can track it.

It's not absolutely necessary to put a skybox or US address as your billing address but it ensures all sellers will process your order and its a requirement for other sites like Target

when items are shipped via USPS it says its delivered but the Skybox don't receive the item until days later.

I ordered stuff on Amazon on Friday and it was delivered at my house this morning except for one item which was shipped via USPS. Normal thing

yes this will be cheaper.

Just use your skybox address as your billing address and use your cousins home address as your shipping address. Simple.

Target accepts the VTM card. However they don't seem to accept T&T paypal.
