Delivery Time: How long does it take to receive packages?
Upon arrival at our Miami address, your package will take 2-3 days to be shipped and delivered to you.
Why should I set a pre alert?
Pre alerts are important for three reasons:
1) It allows you to receive e-mail and SMS alerts regarding the location of your package once it reaches our hands.
2) It ensures your package does not remain in “Unknown Packages” if your account number is left out, since Miami can easily correlate the tracking numbers.
3) It provides customs with the actual cost you paid for your item. If customs does not know what you actually paid for your item they can charge you based on the cost the item generally goes for, and would not be aware whether you purchased your item on sale. This can affect your Duties and VAT charges.
Can I track my package and how do I do that?
Yes, of course you can. Trinebox offers you the ability to track your packages on your Trinebox account. When you set a pre alert and upload you invoice, once your package reaches our Miami warehouse you will then be alerted every step of the way.
How long does it take to process my shipment?
After we receive your shipment request, please allow for up to 36 hours for us to process and shipfrom our warehouse. Packages received before 10 am (East Coast USA time) are typically processed and picked up on the same day.
Please also Allow 48-72 hours for packages from USPS as we must collect packages shipped through those means from the post office. We collect these items daily.
Trinebox only tenders packages to couriers on business days (Monday to Friday), not including certain U.S. holidays.
In some cases, high-value merchandise and shipments may require additional paperwork to comply with U.S. government regulations.
Shipments containing certain animal products, feathers, animal skin and mother-of-pearl may require review to ensure compliance with U.S. Fish and Wildlife (USFWS) regulations.
These type of circumstances may result in additional processing time for your shipment.
Will Trinebox open my packages?
Normally every package is opened and inspected when it arrives at the Trinebox warehouse. Our trained staff carefully inspects your packages to ensure they are safe for shipping and verify that the stated contents are allowed to be exported from the USA.
What if my package is gift wrapped?
To ensure quality and compliance with US export regulations, we must open and review all wrapped items. When possible, we make every effort to return wrapped items to their original condition.
How long will you hold my packages?
Your packages will be held, free of charge, for up to 15 days after each delivery.
After 15 days, each package will be held for an additional 30 days for a charge of $2 USD per day.
We will send you reminders before your 30-day storage period ends and again before your paid 30-day storage period ends.
The maximum storage time is 90 days. After 90 days, unless prior arrangements have been made, the goods will be considered abandoned, and we may dispose of it in any manner permitted by law.
