VAT on Local Handling
Why am I being charged an additional 75 cents on my invoice?This new tax has been imposed by the Inland Revenue Division of the Ministry of Finance and applies to all skybox providers.
This tax took effect since April 13th 2012, but we chose to absorb it for as long as we could to prevent your rates from increasing. However, to meet the cost of maintaining a quality service, we can no longer pay this tax on your behalf.You can view the official letter from the Inland Revenue Division here:

Package Weight
My weight from my supplier does not match my package weight from Web Source. Why is this?We re-weigh packages both at Miami and Trinidad for security reasons. There will be times your supplier may state your package weight as 2lbs when it is in fact 1lb, or vice versa. We always re-weigh to ensure that you only pay for your ACTUAL weight. -
Delivery Delays
USPS says my package was delivered. What's the delay?Due to their extremely high volume of parcels, the United States Postal Service is unable to individually verify the status of every delivery. Therefore their records of your package being delivered to our warehouse can often be incorrect. WebSource is not liable for any delays for packages shipped via USPS.
I didn't ship with USPS, but my package is still delayed.Two possible causes of such a delay are:- Your complete Web Source shipping address was not entered during online checkout.
- The shipper did not label your package with your complete delivery address.
-
Fuel Surcharge
What is a fuel surcharge?A fuel surcharge is imposed on all carriers by all shippers (ocean and air).We at Web Source remain committed to serving you our valued customers in the best way possible keeping our "rate per pound" as low as possible.
