Good day,Skybox received 2 shipments; 2 test glasses and a back heating pad from November 3rd.The charged my card, created the following skybill ending ****5146 and 5017 Then, told me afterwards they they were consolidated into one box skybill ending ***3749 *********** has charged my credit card 228USD to ship 8 small items which were charged separately at several different times but, then shipped only 2 boxes to ***** present, they have held on to my medical device which is a back heating pad and 2 pairs of test glasses for the past month (from November 3rd).They have yet to send these items to the Island, even though they have charged my card for these items singly from November 11th.Last week I was told that these 3 remaining items were not shipped due to Thanksgiving holiday celebrations; however, the 2 boxes containing non-essential items were shipped before November 18th.I contacted my lawyer who suggested I give 72hrs before making a final claim against them,this us the 2nd day Dec. 3, 2024 and they still have my money and my packages.The fact is, they send items in 2 small boxes that were not medical itrlems and unnecessary but, held on to my medical devices and I am still waiting for them to ship my things out of their place.This is very unprofessional and I cannot believe that ******** recommended them as shippers because the customer is poor, and unreliable.I need my things because my eyes are sick and I have opthalmology report that says I have to have tinted lenses and UV lenses with blue light filter.I also have neurological report that shows I have scoliosis and need that heating pad, or I would have never sought them ******, with this pain and distress that ************************** has caused, they will need to pay.Business Response

By July 29th to July 31st I received several packages that were sent to Skybox for consolidation and shipping to **********. There was one package that they mentioned had some issues and required coordination (0051 - ********) I tried contacting them several times but the response was always that there was some issue with my address, even though all the other packages had the same address and those never needed that coordination. It's now been 2 FULL WEEKS since 0051 - ******** has been retained and I am not able to take any action on it. I have contacted several times about this and no one has been able to resolve this issue and they always say they have escalated the issue while I never get a response.There was another guide that was created for my packages (051-35827104, 0051-35829364, 0051-35829631, 0051-35830401) that were all consolidated in 0051 - ******** they charged me on August 5th beforehand USD ***** for Customs + USD ***** for Shipping. And allegedly started the transit process, by August 8th they said that the package was at the airport but never gave me a tracking number so I could follow up on that. There was no update and the package doesnt even seem like shipped on their page. Even though by now this package should be in ********** based on their timeline and the responses given by one of their representatives (who doesnt even makes sense when he speaks because the information he gives is misleading and not accurate)The business claimed that after I consolidated the packages (which I did on August 3rd) it would **** * to ****************************************** **********. This process has not been followed and the business is denying any responsibility and refusing to give me a solution by keeping my money, my information and my packages.Business Response

While they have acknowledged my issue, they have been unable to provide a resolution or a timeline for when the package will be processed. This lack of progress is extremely disappointing.Desired Resolution:I urge Skybox to immediately investigate and resolve this issue. I expect the following:Immediate processing of my package (32066796500058C330C74) and its appearance in my account dashboard.A clear explanation for the delay and the discrepancy in processing times between the two packages.A sincere apology for the inconvenience and frustration caused by this ongoing situation.I am a paying customer who expects reliable and efficient service.

Complaint: 22043223Dear Supervisor,
Thank you for your email explaining that my order is being processed. However, I still haven't received the package and I don't have a clear delivery date.
Also, the problems with your website continue. I can't see my packages or their status on my UK dashboard, even though I've paid all fees. This makes it impossible for me to track my order.
I understand that delays happen, but the lack of information and the ongoing website issues are frustrating.
I will keep my complaint open until my package is delivered and the website is working properly.
Please provide an update on my delivery and the website fix as soon as possible.Sincerely,
****** ******

I am filing a complaint against skybox because they still have a package of mine and have been refusing to resolve the issue and send my package and its tracking information. According to the records available to me on the skybox dashboard, this package has been there since March 22, 2024. Initially, there was trouble with the original company I purchased from, so it took some weeks for them to send me a proper invoice to attach to the shipment. However, from April 3, 2024 my package has been marked as further assistance needed and it is still showing has having NOT been delivered. So, I began communication with their support team, two individuals in particular: ***** and *****. ***** first informed me that the invoice was not accurate, even though I had sent him accurate copies of an official invoice multiple times. Then ***** told me the package contains damaged goods. I viewed the video footage, and all the goods were in fact in good condition. So, I requested the package be sent to me anyway. At that time, ***** informed me it would be sent to me. As of June 13, the package still has not been sent, and the company is ignoring my messages and refusing to resolve the issue. I have attached a write up with more detail. Just to reiterate, I want my package sent and the tracking number sent to me. If my package is not able to be delivered, I would like a refund of the following fees: $39.01 for freight for package 0051-35780720 $97.27 for customs for package 0051-35780720 I have attached proof of all fees, proof of the package not being cleared from my dashboard, and also all email communications, and chat communications between myself and ***** or ***** to resolve this matter. Once my package is in my hands safely, then of course I will be cancelling my skybox subscription permanently.Business Response

Good afternoon,
So, I have finally been contacted by a supervisor and miraculously they are now getting my package sent out to me. While that is the desired outcome, I want to make note of the malicious intent shown by the business in this. Even the supervisors reply of "not providing the requested information" is false because I have proof that I did that in the messages I shared. This business purposely has their site locked down with absolutely no way to contact anyone when there are issues. They seem to enjoy having you at their mercy. I also want to make note that before you reached out to them they sent me a series of emails taunting me as well. I hope there is somewhere you all can make note of this and make that information available to the public.
I just wanted to update you. Thank you so much for your help. Without you this would not be solved.

I made a purchase of a product for a value of around ***** USD and sent it to one of the warehouses of Skybox.net s company which provides services for managing storage, cargo and shipping internationally. Furthermore once the package was received in their warehouse I made a payment two payments on July 7th for the amounts of $5.5 usd and $45.33 USD to cover the shipping costs and taxes of the package to the indicated destination address. This order was registered under the reference or order number: 0051-35682193. This was supposed to be a premium service with a delivery time frame not later than 7 days. ** tried to contact the company multiple times and they tried to discharged the responsability on a third party than provide them with transportation and delivery services although that company wasn't aware of the package neither gave any answers to my enquires. Therefore I have kept raising my complains and requests to the email address for customer support and service or **********************, Skynet which is contact@skyboxnet asking about the tracking number of the package or any update about the state of that delivery, unfortunately the company has ignored all my requests without reply. Additionally, I contacted them on the live chat support service that they have available at their website www.skybox.net only to find my requests to be ignored too ins spite of the support being active and online. Considering all the facts presented above I decided to scale this issue with the regulatory authorities such as BBB in order to leave a precedent about the poor actions with lack of transparency of this company and with the aim of getting my money back from them .Business Response

This was my first time utilizing skybox services to ship multiple packages to ***************** has the option to set pre alerts for packages you are expecting and offers to hold all packages until you are ready to consolidate all the packages into one big box. I ordered numerous items from multiple different places and provided all the invoices for the pre alerts. I expected the company to see that I have numerous things coming when I put all the pre alerts in and expected them to wait till all my packages were received to consolidate everything into one box and should've only gotten one delivery fee.Instead this company consolidated the first three packages I received without my permission and then proceeded to charge my card $314.67 without my permission to deliver the package.The price is based on the weight of the box but they overcharged because the box was light and contained a few things. After I contacted the business in numerous ways to try and avoid any other issues.No one ever answered the phone and I got someone to respond to an email days later.After explaining the situation I requested to wait till I received all my packages then consolidated everything together.She stated they cannot do anything with the already consolidated package and said that I should turn off my consolidation setting to stop my other packages from shipping before they all got there.The representative lied and gave me the wrong information.As soon as I turned the setting off I received on of the other packages a couple days later and the company completely ignored everything I told them and sent of one single item for the price of $112.51.They sent it and charged my card again without my permission.When I received my other packages they quoted me one price of $339.46 when I consolidated the packages then charged me $439.46 without my permission yet again. They also took a long time to deliver the package. I would like a complete or partial refund.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: the business is absolutely out their kind of they believe that they are not over charging people and that they are in the right in this situation. They state that they told me that the consolidation is due in a certain time yet they completely lied cause they did the absolute opposite with all my stuff. I was instructed to turn it off so my other packages werent be shipped yet my s*** was still shipped without being consolidated yet they trying to blame me for Turing the setting off when I was instructed to do so. They say they been in contact with me several times yet disregarding everything I told them and fed me a pack of bs. They need to return all my money back or the business needs to be shut down. This company is a pathetic embarrassment.

I am rejecting this response because: the company completely gave me wrong information. Every thing they stated are complete lies. They need to refund my money. What person with commoner sense will tell a customer to turn of notifications to ensure my packages dont get shipped without consolidating everything I put I am expecting why the next day would this incompetent business send my stuff off without permission. Why would common sense not let whoever I sent numerous emails to put in my account that I have a special request. How is it legal for them to charge my card for straight bill s*** with out my permission. They need to be stopped. Its a crime to overcharge do simple shipping. I have gotten stuff shipped to me for literally $15 per consolidated box with another company, so how the h*** they charge over $1000 for three things which should have all been IN ONE BOX LIKE I TOLD THEM NUMEROUS TIMES. I literally followed all their orders on what to do to avoid any issues after the first stuff they shipped without my permission and overcharged me yet they still did not listen and COMPLETELY LIES TO BE AND IS LYING TO YOU. I WANT MY MONEY FOR THIS RUBISH.

In total, I ordered 5 packages (the packages receipts can be found attached), that arrived between the 4th-15th of January 2023 at the offices in Europe and ******* of the company. Since early January I have pursued ongoing communication with the company via email and through their webpage chat in order to find a way to be able to deliver the products to ********, asking them on several occasions to give me clear updates on how to proceed to do a grouping of the packages in ******* (3 of them), yet up until today this exercise has been unsuccessful and I keep receiving answers like "the option should appear available on the website to do so". When I tell them that this is not the case and they can proceed to carry out this task through my specification, they have not provided any clear answer. Thus, up until today, I do not know what would be the potential cost of sending this equipment and, what is more, I have not been able to receive it in over a month. At the same time, with the delivery made to Europe, their answer was that they would get a quote from different companies since this is a different type of delivery than what they normally manage. After around a week they told me that it would not be possible to send it to me, even though this restriction was never communicated beforehand and the website advertised that they can ship all types of packages. Due to these inefficiencies, I did not receive the packages by the time when I was needing them, implying personal hardship. I would like to receive the packages as soon as possible and also have compensation for bad service.Taking this into accountBusiness Response

Is our duty to inform that we have been in contact with *********************************** in several occasions, and is important to make clear the following instances:
Our company, SkyBOX, is working continuously since **** and we have presence in 180 countries, and, as mentioned by our valued customer, it is possible to buy in any store and sed the acquired goods for us to receive, process and ship to the required destination. Also, as per the terms on our contract it is stipulated that we follow all the customs and airlines rules and restrictions, taking in consideration what merchandise is legal in each of the countries we have presence. As mentioned in the 5th clause of the contract between the customer and **********************:
Article 5 - OBLIGATIONS OF THE CUSTOMER WITH RESPECT TO AIR CARRIAGE: a) LIABILITY: (i) The Customer is responsible for all violations of laws. The Customer agrees to abide by the applicable postal laws of the country of residence, **************************** (***) and the ******************* The Customer agrees not to ship or participate in the shipment, receipt and air transportation of illegal or restricted materials and/or substances, such as drugs, cash, dangerous goods (explosives, flammables, chemicals, firearms, live animals, losibles, plants and seeds, pornographic material, jewelry, drugs of any kind etc.), or any other type of prohibited item by the local customs authorities in the country of destination. It is the sole responsibility of the Customer to familiarize themselves with such restrictions prior to shipping through SkyBOX. SkyBOX shall not be liable for loss of goods resulting from customs confiscation. (ii)The Customer, through the service offered by **********************, shall be solely responsible for any violation of law. SkyBOX reserves the right not to ship and to refuse any item or merchandise that *** result in any detriment, damage or fine to SkyBOX. Certain goods *** require a license to *************** to export. Customer is responsible for arranging and delivering to SkyBOX all documents necessary to obtain any required license. In the event that ********************** does not receive the required documents and license to proceed with your shipment, ********************** will provide you with a notice indicating a maximum period of five (5) days to obtain the missing documents. If the documents and/or information are not received within the indicated period, the shipment will be held for a maximum of 60 days. After 60 days without receipt of the necessary documentation and/or information, such shipment will be subject to the terms of Clause 2. (iii) In addition, Customer authorizes ********************** to inspect, open and repack each package made available to it under this Agreement, releasing SkyBOX from any and all liability for any prejudice to SkyBOX from any additional requirements stated on the Air Waybill or required by **** law.
Regarding the packages bought by our customer, only one that was acquired in ****** was not able to be shipped taking into account that contained Wine (alcoholic beverages restriction), and the Colombian laws specifies that only 3 items (bottles) are allowed by shipment and the airline reduces the amount to 2 units per shipment. Mr. ****** bought 24 bottles of wine, and this leads to take a decision to split the cargo in 12 parts, increasing the total cost, and the customer is rejecting the new price offered by our company.
Taking into account the delay in the delivery process, we offered the customer a credit as courtesy and also we assumed the freight fee of the shipped packages that were acquired by the customer in ***** and were entered to his suite under the tracking numbers 0051-35627468 and 0051-35627469, in 03/02/2023 and 03/08/2023 respectively, which were already received and also we have the corresponding Proof of Deliver (POD).
In the same way, we offered the customer a free return of the boxes to the store, and this option was also rejected by the customer, which let us to have the only option to split the cargo in 12 different shipments, but this alternative has to be accepted by Mr. ****** in order to make the delivery effective.
Please feel free to reach us if you have any additional concern.Initial Complaint
