Lol and when you get there where do you go? Take a bus to Dolphin mall and sleep in the airport before you come back?

What happens if you get sent through the red line and they charge you duty on everything you brought back and tried to smuggle in?

cbox collected package carnival weekend.

Just got an email saying the shipment delayed to leave miami on the 18th but then they sent a follow up saying it could actually leave miami on the 25th of march.

What.....

prav316 · Postby **prav316** » March 12th, 2016, 11:40 am

Apologies if someone posted about this already:

I used shipping calculators from the customs website, IBC and WebSource to check the cost of a printer

Customs Calculator put VAT at roughly $41.00 TTD

Websource put VAT at roughly $101.00 TTD

IBC put VAT at rougly $98.00 TTD

Anyone know why the discrepancy?

I'm saying...the robbery i face kinda makes up for the other conveniences WS provides.

Such as:
reliable delivery
Good relationship with courier
Acessible warehouse/office with parking
No membership fees
I never lost a package in miami or lost items from a package

So overall...i go take some rip-off

IBC offers everything you stated above

*KRONIK* · Postby ***KRONIK*** » March 13th, 2016, 8:23 pm

Except their office too far off my route.

With WS i can pass in on my home from work and pick up stuff.

IBC i'll actually have to go there on purpose...

And i'm pretty sure i read a few back that some men had some serious issues with IBC

dougla_boy · Postby **dougla_boy** » March 14th, 2016, 10:16 am

switching to Aeropost to see what its like.....no more CSF

gurmuk · Postby **gurmuk** » March 16th, 2016, 12:24 am

Same here. Been two weeks a package was delivered to there warehouse and not even registered on the system

On another note.
Got an email from them. They closing there Pasea office from April. Would definitely not be using them in a hurry after this office is closed

dougla_boy · Postby **dougla_boy** » March 16th, 2016, 7:17 am

EFFECTIC DESIGNS · Postby **EFFECTIC DESIGNS** » March 24th, 2016, 4:44 am

Anybody know if Transexpress does work on a Holiday?

This fightstick i order reach piarco Yesterday. But by the time they clear it and carry it to the office its gonna be too late cause by then it will be Friday and is one long dotish weekend going into Tuesday.

I can't believe these skybox would keep people packages for 4 days like that?

EFFECTIC DESIGNS · Postby **EFFECTIC DESIGNS** » March 24th, 2016, 11:50 am

Question do you all tip the skybox delivery drivers?

I sometimes give either a $5 or a $10 tip because those guys at trincargo does like deliver me it the day after it land.

Morpheus · Postby **Morpheus** » March 24th, 2016, 4:26 pm

They may deliver on a Saturday based on the 2 holidays coming up or if they have a backlog. I got a delivery on a Saturday before due to backlog in the warehouse.

As far as tip? Nah. Frig that. I pay for all that already. Trans is pricey enough LoL. I don't fight up for change sometimes though when I pay cash. Most times is Linx or CC for me.

Swisha · Postby **Swisha** » March 24th, 2016, 5:10 pm

Transexpress and Trincargo is the same service?

Morpheus · Postby **Morpheus** » March 24th, 2016, 5:22 pm

Yes... basically

Add Trinebox to that mix...

Swisha · Postby **Swisha** » March 24th, 2016, 5:49 pm

CSF jus sent out an email indicating fees raising from April.

The new fees are basically similar to Websource

if that is the case then there's literally no reason to use them since rates is the only thing they had over websource

Swisha · Postby **Swisha** » March 24th, 2016, 6:15 pm

Exactly. Will be using Websource from now on as they are certainly more efficient

neexis · Postby **neexis** » March 25th, 2016, 9:03 am

Lol @ CSF's reasons for increasing the rates though : increased administrative costs as a result of a bigger operation.

Yet they closed the Pasea office.

By my calculation, a 2lb package will cost about $80 before adding duties and vat.
Is this comparable to Websource?

Swisha · Postby **Swisha** » March 25th, 2016, 10:15 am

Yeah Websource cheaper. Websource and IBC are comparable in terms of rates and efficiency as well.
