Thread: Shipping Question (and yes I did use the search feature)

Hey everyone,

I tried searching for an answer to my question using search but no such luck So which shipping company have most students used and had the least trouble with? I've heard about 4 star cargo and Tropical shipping and was wondering if anyone's shipped with them and if everything came to SXM in one piece.
Thanks

4 star cargo by air. I've heard of no complaints from their air cargo shipments. One of the best businesses I've dealt with on the entire island. Sign up with them here on the island(or through the internet and give them your email address. The will send you a confirmation as to when your package will arrive and even the time(I found out the time padded a few hours just so they can get everything in order, so I went to pick up my package earlier). Prices are fairly good when compared to The Mailbox(another shipping service but mainly for regular mail).

I've never used the other one so I can't comment on them.

You definitely get points for effort, though!

Aloha,

anencephalic takes this "search" function very seriously... do not challenge him on this.... he will get mad and send microphage through the internet lines to punish you.... that would be scary.

thank you

ps
tread carefully...he is watching...

Aloha,

Thanks everyone for your help on this question. At least I know I'll find an answer in search if I ever want to ship a car down to SXM.
