Was told by an aeropost driver that customs is opening every single thing. 2nd March is ridiculous though. I had two come in on 29th April. Got one last week Friday. Other still delayed in customs.

I feel like I have to give them stuff another week yes. Real snail thing with shipments.
Seems like customs opening everything for true. Collected 2 packages. The shipping envelope was opened and the plastic security seal/sticker on the box was cut look like they wanted to verify the item inside as is a Chinese brand electronic part.

Same brought in a reverse camera from Phillipines. Fully open

I get accustomed with TE, every single package is opened

Before the big customs fiasco, things used to come in normal, clothes and stuff in the sealed plastic bags used to be sealed
Now is everything getting cut open

lol TT customs officers don't care about invoice and sale and thing. Is what value their system says.

Postby **Dave** » May 29th, 2023, 8:44 am

And have been hearing lots of reports of that lately even with real invoices.
Even with items properly labelled being judged as something else.

Why would you allow the competition the use of your facilities? The increase in business going to WS from Skybox customers by WS having their own bonded warehouse is probably more lucrative than charging the competition to use their facilities.

i was just being sarcastic eh
but many cargo companies with their own bond allow others use of it
eg pas cargo

A public servant brought a lawsuit against the government to stop the implementation of the TTRA. && is one the lawyers representing her and judgment expected in June. Might see more protest action when the judge inevitably rules against her.

hmm i dont see that here in the link below. it still says AFTER it's been delivered.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer ... =201910550

the first policy:

Amazon won't be responsible for damage, defect, material difference, or loss that occurs to goods after they're delivered to you or a freight forwarder. This means that Amazon isn't able to provide a replacement or a refund for any shipment taken outside of the U.S. by hand-carrying or using a freight forwarding service. If ordering from Amazon.com to deliver to a U.S shipping address, you should refuse the delivery of these goods if they arrive damaged and instruct freight forwarders to do the same.
