The Mailbox additional charges

Hi everyone,

I just got a membership with the Mailbox mailing service and I wish to order a projector but amazon has inform me that they can't deliver this item to the P.O. Box, so I wish to use the other address the Mailbox provided me (7640 NW 63rd st). My question is how much should I expect to pay in additional charges (fuel and collect charges) ?

Thank you for you help.

I suggest you ask mailbox.
I know that a similar service that I use on the island costs me a little over $2.00 a pound to bring in

Just curious but did you order a projector and a screen? This may seem like a strange question but there is a good reason I am asking.

You pay a flat fee per pound. Ask them the rate.
Someone sent me an outdoor shower once and I had to pay $80 for the shipping! LOL
Used it alot though.
Cheers

Thanks everyone,

I will call them tomorrow. I just wanted to get your opinions and make sure that I would not get any surprise fees.

You may want to check also with Safe Cargo (AKA 4 stars cargo) or even caribtrans, I almost certain it will be much cheaper than the mailbox... I don't know why I have this feeling eye rolling smiley

Kind Regards,
Philippe
