Did I mention Ezone also has a rewards program?

For every airway bill you get 3 points

http://www.ezrewardstt.com/index.cfm

You can use these points to purchase items via ezone.

How cool is that?

But ent you des still hadda pay to clear the stuff like normal ?

[equipped2ripp]

Yeah you do, and at a high value too

[napster16]

I know that.

But right now I put Ezone on the back burner, cuz I asked them a small favor and they couldn't do it. So I just ordered some stuff and left it there a whole month now. Ringing off my phone telling me my name showing up as Accounts Receivable. I told them I'll come when I have time.

Using Aeropost atm and smooth sailing IMO

[EXODUS]

gonna try CSF as there's a branch newly located in duncan vlg.


so if grouped along the foll criteria, which companies would fall into which (more than 1 criteria may be used)-

Lowest Cost / Cost Efficiency -
Reliability / Speed of Delivery -
Consumer Loyalty/Rewards -



inb4 pioneer selects all 3 for ezone which we know ain't cheap!

Looking for some feedback from other Skybox users. I am with IBC and today I got a charge (called a service fee) of $10 per package. A rep at the co. said it covers a Bond charge that is now in effect in the US.

Are any of the other companies charging this fee? I was told others are at about $12 approx.
No notice was given of this which I queried but you know the clause, prices are subject to change without notice.

[S_2NR]

Well fyah bun den....

look at skyboxes that charge based on volume. eg. aeropost, carib express.
their rates for small packages are cheaper than the ones who charge based on mass all the time.

[pete]

I got something in an envelope through carib express and didn't pay anything

[S_2NR]

If its mail. They do that service for free. Mail and magazines are free

[EXODUS]

CSF....my packages like screen protectors, cases etc, only adds up to $23 which is not bad in my opinion. Got an email from them last night saying they are upgrading their services from march. Hope delivery time is better this round.

[*KRONIK*]

^^^will give them a try den...
That price sounds good....

[kurpal_v2]

How long does an average CSF package take from Miami to your doorstep?

[Swisha]

2 days

[bassotronics]

^ Yup, ordered a Portable hd and case from amazon and reached the miami address on monday, package was delivered 20 mins ago, paid $46 to clear both items.

[sonygoup]

No bad price jus wish ezone use to charge small money

[Chimera]

then you would get service like all the other companies that charge "small money"

[sonygoup]

then you would get service like all the other companies that charge "small money"

Sigh true but i get charge like 1600 when i bought my dad a t3i which hot me the most about using ezone but say wah

[kurpal_v2]

De sause received my package on jan 31st in Miami, sent invoice Feb 4th and delivered this morning. Charged me 38$ for an iPhone case.



For an item that I don't need ASAP I'm ok with the sause but some packages I really need a faster service. Actually not faster but more reliable because I think this was one of the faster deliveries I've had from them.

However, president of the Downtown Owners and Merchants Association (DOMA) Gregory Aboud noted Howai's view and called on him to take steps to level the playing field for all local businesses.
"The advent of online shopping and the number of agencies which are now offering services to connect Trinidad citizens to overseas internet shopping is obviously having a very traumatic effect on local retail sales, particularly because the entire business of internet shopping is so unregulated and so open at the moment.
"As you know in the US at this time they are attempting to impose sales tax on internet shopping in an effort to achieve the same objective that the minister is speaking about, which is to level the playing field, and we would be very interested in seeing what the minister has in mind with respect to his examination of this issue."
Aboud said many local companies offered tremendous access to citizens to shop overseas but local retail stores were unable to compete in that environment because a lot of those products that are coming into the country via the online services are not attracting the type of duty and VAT that local importers have to pay.

Retailers worry about getting left behind

I'd like to see the vat/duty he speaks of but stewps.

[Morpheus]

Steups @ Aboud.

[S_2NR]

Maybe just maybe local retailers should get more competitive pricing and stocks.

[grimreaper009]

Steups @ Aboud.

This.........he realize people get smarter and not taking blatant robbery anymore

[Morpheus]
