I use Ebiz and have had no problems. They do have a delivery service for the Kingston/St. Andrew area as well. Don't know the details on that though. You can call them 968-3251.

but what about the ebay sellers who only ship to a confirmed paypal address? What then ? How do i get around that? I have missed quite a few items because of this

the best solution is to get an international credit card from a local bank. may have to start be getting a secured credit card to build your credit rating.. then you will be free from third parties and just start doing things yourself (with a US mailing adress from Mailpac etc)

I've always seen these folks advertise items at the cafeteria where I work, seems they recently went online, but you still have to call them to place orders.

is it just me?
or has Mailpac got veeeeeeeeeeeerrrry sllloooow and expensive lately?

or is it a customs thing?

i was bringing down a board and cprocessor and video card, and i see a $2000 "Customs User Fee" attached....what on earth is that?

Well I just use my paypal account on ebay and items are shipped to my house within two weeks. Occassionally I have to go to the post office to pick the item up if I need to pay fees which is usally a couple hundred dollars.
I usually ask the sellers on ebay if they are willing to ship to my address in Jamaica which is different from my confirmed address in the states. Most of the time they are willing to do it if I change the ship to address in my paypal account. For other sites I normally ship to a US address (using free shipping) and have someone bring it or mail it to me. It just takes longer. Works for me.

Fee ur Govt. charges to process ur documents, and have a customs official look at box and say, "Yes indeed, those r things actually listed in invoice."

This is no govt. charges they are making extra money from people. If you notice it will say custom fee and clearing charges. Tell you what if you want to still use them as i do the beautiful thing is i have not lost anythng (yet) thats why i stay with them but all you got to do is tell them you will clear the item yourself you sometime will even get it cleared on the detention notice if it falls below US$30.00 doing it your self
