Finally got my seabox package today that was delivered in Miami since Dec. 9th

On the upside, my invoice was less than I was expecting and was surprised that they did deliveries on a Saturday.

Got no notice of delivery and had no idea of the cost until the driver called and said he was coming though. And seeing that they don't have portable linx machines I was lucky to have the cash on me.

Even though this package took this long to arrive I would still most likely use them again. I assume it took this long because shipments were cut off in December and there weren't any until January.

Locking off skybox from next week. With the TT dollar depreciating wrt USD, shipping costs which are quoted in USD will rise. And all those stupid taxes. Not my money. I will suitcase it.

[M_2NR]

Anyone has the compiled "new" list of duties reflecting the new VAT values and zero rated items as related to items we often skybox?
I would like to add it the OP.

[S_2NR]

Ask Rowley. Only he could keep up with that

So what's the best skybox out there right now? I'm a bit fed up with aeropost

FYI, CSF Couriers is still charging 15% vat, the extra 2.5 percent seem to be going into their pockets.

BTW collected my seabox shipment today. That box was battered
When sis opens it she'll see if there is any damage...

[M_2NR]

Thanks guys for reaffirming me to not use seabox

[X_Factor]

and u know i have no issues with seabox......
30lb box with miscellaneous stuff cost me 450.00 to ship and clear recently

[Morpheus]

I will try it again but not for something urgent. And the Vat and duties really was more than the shipping which was about $450 @ 80lbs lol.

collected children,' clothes through seabox today and in my view they are more expensive than websource. Cost of items 56 USD or approx. 375 TTD. I paid 302 TTD to collect. With websource I multiply the cost of item by 10 and that approximates what I pay; cost of item and shipping included.
I paid more than websource and waited four times as long from a company that advertised "cheaper than airfreight" shipping.

[Chimera]

how much lbs were your item?

the savings would come in with heavier shipments

once the package was more than 5lbs u would have saved compared to using websource....
I jus have a serious dislike to them after getting hit for a couple sixes, No invoice was in the packages so they valued it way above what was paid

compared to now where the company calls or requests invoice to prevent those scenarios from happening

I ordered a strut bar--5lbs costing 40usd to seabox
delivered there today so wont be reaching here till about 16days
Websource quote is 300.00 so we will see

[Swisha]

Websource sticking this week or something? Had a package delivered on Tuesday and haven't received any email notification or anything yet...

[pete]

Got 3 packages this week delivered between Friday and Tuesday.

I have a little situation that I'm sure a couple of you have experienced.

Ordered 13 items from amazon which came in one box but only 12 were in the box. Naturally I contacted amazon but since the items were shipped to a freight forwarder they basically said go to hell. As in before I was finished describing my issue to the rep I received the 'contact your freight forwarder' email. What do you guys do in a situation like this because it tends to be happening more frequently and I'm left out of pocket as the freight forwarder says to contact amazon regarding the issue. This same package which contained plumbing supplies was charged duty mind you, when I contacted them they said provide the invoice even though the description was clearly labeled plumbing accessories/supplies.

On another note, since complaints aren't 'allowed' here, what is a good alternative for Websource you guys are using?
