Are you itching to purchase something online but not sure where to go and how to have it delivered to your house. After getting past the barrier of the payment gateway of credit cards, Paypal and 2checkout you are thinking what options you may have.
We have uncovered options available to you, many that come with additional fees and without any guarantees.
eZone is an Internet shopping delivery service, which enables you the customer to make purchases via the Internet, 1-800 numbers, catalogs or other means. It runs as a yearly membership subscription service whereby for an annual fee you are afforded an address in Miami, United Kingdom, New York or Toronto to which you can have any and all your purchases delivered and eventually shipped to Trinidad.
Trade Wind Traders was created to give the people of Trinidad and Tobago the opportunity to shop from major on-line retailers.
Trade Wind Traders puts variety and buying power in the hands of the people of T&T and seems to focus as a full service buying house offering the purchasing of bulky household goods and furnishings.
JetExpress offers a JetEx Box which is an inbound express package and commercial air cargo service designed for individuals using one local delivery address as well as a reverse service called JetEx Courier which his a door to door service from Trinidad & Tobago to major international destinations.
TTPak is an international private mail box service brought to you as a TTPost and Laparkan partnership that allows you to have your online purchases delivered to a Miami address, air or sea-freighted down to Trinidad and Tobago and then delivered to you.

Good service! I like it! I often shop online, and it does help me!
ZipX is my courier service of choice as I’m a frequent internet shopper, I get my Miami address bu now that you mention it I’ll have to give eZone a look see I like the idea of a UK address
i like the idea of a NY address
applecare is available in NY and not FL i think
i can buy my macs!
i currently use aeropost.com
i like them
i just…haven’t had as much to ship with them recently…
things actually reach us…unlike when we were with tropical express…
I always use Bongo International http://www.bongous.com. They seem to have the best prices of all the package forwarding companies and they are extremely easy to work with.
but are they local to Trinidad or have experience dealing with the customs procedures etc?
what has been your experience in shipping to Trinidad with bongous?
Take a look at the following page http://www.bongous.com/country.....tobago.php
It provides any information you would need on shipping to Trinidad and Tobago. They use DHL and my experience has typically been 3 day transits.
UPxpress (aeropost) is the worst! Don’t ever use them! There fees comes up to more than what you paid for the item.E.g, I puchased a camera case under 1 lbs for $18us on amazon, UPXpress charged me $26us to ship. Anything more than 2 pounds makes no sense shipping with them. If you dont send them an email with the details and cost of your item, they will rob you!
Be careful with Bongous !!!
Here is my bad exprience with this service:
They provide USA Mail Forward service and because i’m not an American so this service is useful for me to buy stuffs that just sell in USA, I signed up and provide the USPS 1583 form and everthing is just fine at the beginning.
Once I got the first package from one of my friend in USA (the sender) who use his Credit Card to buy stuff from an online shop, this service try to obtain the Credit Card information and ID of my friend by request him need to send those informations to their Email support if not they will return the stuff to the online shopping and you can image : I lost the fee for return shipping, the online shopping site can’t sell the stuff that they sold, my friend lost fee on chargeback. So before sign up with this service if you’re outside USA you need to obtain the USA Credit Card (it’s impossible) or you will have the problem like me, but if you accept their policy who know what they do with Scans of Credit Card and ID of your friend, your cousin, your partner,… So try to stay away them if you don’t want lost money for nothing.
Anybody has experience with eZone? I’m a 19 year-old student who just made an account so I don’t know its service quality. Any comments, tips or opinions would be highly appreciated.
