What size package can I receive through P.O. Box International?
You can receive packages of just about any size. What you have
to keep in mind is that we use air freight only. Items such as
furniture and large appliances can be sent through P.O. Box International,
it just becomes very expensive to air freight as opposed to sending
by sea freight. Large items that we often ship for account holders
include items such as computers, electronics, car parts, ready-to-assemble
furniture etc. (Please ensure that all shipments are packaged
properly as we will not accept liability for damage to goods due
to improper packaging.)
How long does it take to receive mail and packages?
Deliveries are done either the same day or next business day after
the cargo is cleared at the airport. From the time something gets
to the mailbox or street address, it is usually delivered to you
in Trinidad and Tobago within 2 days.
Is there a charge for delivery if I elect to have my
mail and packages delivered?
There is no additional delivery charge for mail, magazines and
small packages.
How do you deal with Customs Duty?
On your behalf, P.O. Box International will pay Customs Duty and
VAT in advance, and collect on delivery of package. (In certain
cases, we will ask the account holder to prepay customs duty prior
to customs clearance.)
Is there anything that I cannot receive through my P.O.
Box International account?
Items considered to be Dangerous Goods by Aviation Regulations
will be put on hold in Miami and will no be sent. These items
include all aerosol cans and hazardous chemicals. If in doubt,
please call us before shipping such items.
Can I drop off items at the street address to be sent
to me?
Anyone can drop off items at the street address in Miami, to be
shipped to you. The shipper will be given a tracking number for
each delivery. Our opening hours in Miami are 8AM - 4PM (Miami
Time) Monday - Friday. Please try to schedule deliveries between
these hours.
Does P.O. Box International provide pick up service in
Miami?
We can provide pick up service for packages that you want sent
to you. This service is at an additional cost quoted on an individual
basis.
What if I want to open an account but I live outside
of Trinidad and Tobago?
You have several options. You can give us the address of a friend
or relative in the corporate area that we can deliver you mail
and packages to. You can elect to pick up your mail at our office
or you can instruct us to send it to you via courier once a week.
(This would be at your expense.)
