Good day everyone,
Tried running a search but couldn't find what I was looking for.
Was wondering if there are any other local skyboxes that exist in a US sales tax exempt location like how Aeropost is.

Have you tried HDMI out of laptop to TV? This should offer a temporary reprieve.

Projectors are supposed to be tax and duty free now
Just like laptops

Had a phone delivered to Websource in Miami on May 4th.

Got a notification today with my invoice and that it was received at their Trincity warehouse. But i waiting on delivery(I not leaving the house).

Was expecting much longer but took just about 1 week - not too bad IMHO considering all the stress going on at Swissport/Customs.

Wife had a pair of sandals delivered to Aeropost in Miami on April 24th and only got the invoice yesterday. They delivered it to her today *shrugs*

It will sit there and then eventually makes it easy to the skybox. You may or may not see when it does. That only started happening to me in the last year.

So it will eventually get to me and not be returned?
Previously I had a package tht was at the post office because they said it had no one for collection.

Your welcome. It seems worrisome when you see that as the tracking update but it has become a norm now. 2/3 of my packages shipped with USPS usually has that notification.

Aeropost is taking quite long recently.

This is what is my wait time at the moment for some printer ink.

5 packages clear since Monday night and Aeropost driver cant reach.

Went today and collect myself via curbside pickup because they seem to quite slow over the last few weeks.
