Are you sure about it ? what UPS guys do if person to whom we shipping is not available will they take it back ?? will they refund all or charge something ? ..I Just have hopes that google will not disappoint as X-mas is very near thats why..

What i am thinking to inform Google/UPS to change shipping to another address to borderlinx if she leaves US before delivery of nexus 4 to her US home address & then will ship from borderlinx to india insted cancelling the order ..

Correct me if i am wrong guys !!!

Hey guys ... I was billed Rs. 1593/- for customs duty at Delhi customs (Feb delivery - so before budget). FedEx is saying that I can raise a ticket to claim refund for extra customs charged (that 4% SAD they're charging extra at Delhi customs) if I can provide a proof that same item has been billed for less customs duty earlier.

Can someone from some other city, who got a 16 GB Nexus 4 cleared from any other customs (Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai etc.) and paid less than Rs. 1000 for customs please share/ PM me a photo of their customs charge bill/ invoice? Please share since it'd really help me a lot :)
[Nexus 4 General] sekhar447:
Finally

my nexus 4 shipped by comgateway and estimated date is 03/09 . Any idea what is the customs they are charging in Bangalore after 1st march when it is coming by CGW?.

Plse suggest good bumper/screen gaurd.

I think you will be charged double and 349$ will be refunded after few days.

Friends google has shipped my device to HSG, could you tell me whether I need to forward any documents to HSG or not, if Yes then what?
[Nexus 4 General] zubin111:
Well it would be around the same cost., try calling PPObox and see, and rather than sending to your relative, send it directly to their LG repair facility in Texas. (Open an RMA with google first). There is no cheaper alternative than someone directly taking it there. I had my screen broken, but luckily i had someone travelling so send it back, but will have to pay for the shipping and customs again to bring it back here :crying: (on top of paying $140 for the screen :crying::crying::crying:)... The only saving grace here for me is that instead of replacing just the screen, they sent me a new phone altogether... :good:... But year in all say 10k - 12k would be spent on repairing just the screen (Damn its half the phone cost!!!)

So just a general advice, do not let your phone fall!! if it does pray and hope nothing is broken!!! Invest in something like ballistic case (i did... hard learnt lesson...)

So in all, beg someone to take your phone back and beg someone to bring it back... Thats the cheapest way out....

[Nexus 4 General] coolraghav:
HSG didn't asked for documents, even mine reached today within 3 days of order. just keep on tracking, if it has reached HSG and they dont notify you then I think you should tell them. But they were fast enough for me and I've paid them $28 to ship me.

Borderlinx

Guys, I maybe the only person in this forum who has ordered Nexus -8GB through Borderlinx.

I had chosen standard shipping.

I had paid Rupees 2071.24 ($36.4) as charges (including customs) for shipping to Chennai, India.

Also for Google, I have paid Rs.18163.52 ($348.48) .

So total charges will be Rs.20234.76.

I had waited from 17th feb to 4th march without a second bullet point. On 4th eve, I got the coveted second bullet point. After that things were pretty fast.

1) Ordered on Feb 17th

2) No Second bullet till March 3rd :(

3) Second bullet point on March 4th :fingers-crossed:

4) shipped on March 5th :D

6) Received in Ohio Borderlinx on March 7th night :laugh:

7) Paid to Borderlinx on 8th morning '5' o clock :victory:

8) Today Borderlinx gave me tracking id. :good:

Guys, do you think I still have to pay custom charges ( borderlinx told that I don't have to). Also is the total price for nexus 8GB paid by me reasonable?
[Nexus 4 General] sohanraohr:
Ordered on feb 27-28 via PPOBox, delivered today:) no hazels...definitely recommend its service

Ordered via Axis bank MasterCard debit card charged only once... but now had to pay the new revised PPOBox payment which is around 2.4k. Thanks to this thread

Free Nexus 4

So one of my friend received the Nexus 4 for free.

He had ordered using a Citibank credit card but due to some verification reasons Google cancelled his order a few days later.

To his surprise the next day he received a mail from HSG that his N4 package for the same order which was cancelled has been received there.

HSG shipped the same to India and he paid customs around 2000/-.

The hold which had happened on his card was also dropped by Google and as soon as that happened he had all the credit limit back and asked citibank to close his card so that he is not charged anytime later just as a precaution. Luck sure is a bi*ch !
[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
I have ordered nexus 4 Full body cover from gadgetshieldz yesterday afternoon. I got it today, within two working days!!!. But it may be becoz the merchant ships from Chennai and I live in Chennai

Disadvantage: They don't give u a tracking id.

I have also ordered front scratch guard from xtremeguard on Feb 5th for a very cheap price ($1.25 USD and free shipping). Its still stranded in US
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
I have already ordered full body screenguard from http://www.gadgetshieldz.in/google-lg-nexus-4-e960-screen-protector.html. Heard some great reviews. And now I am planning to buy bumper from http://in.mobilefun.com/37910-genx-hybrid-bumper-case-for-google-nexus-4---black.htm. I dont want to cover nexus 4 fully from back.

[Nexus 4 General] vidhatreg:
Actually my uncle is the one who bought the phone and when i talked with google about the RMA they said that my uncle would have to do it. Also Fedex charges more when i ship my phone directly to the company, atleast that's what the Fedex representative said.

What do u recommend the best way to send it back i looked at HSG on their site it says 22$ for shipping but i dont know the whole details.

PS: I thought LG service center here repairs the screen.
[Nexus 4 General] nipponsahore:
comGateway/HSG or PPOBOX

Hey Guys,

Sorry to bother you guys but i have one question.

Which of the 2 Shipping services are better. HSG/comGateway or PPOBOX

I know you guys must have answered it multiple times, but PPOBOX now also ships from New Jersey, which has lower taxes..

So whats your take on that ?
[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
Yep! Very Good question.. Just in case, if I made a joke of pasting full body cover on nexus 4 and spoil it, I need a spare right. That's why ordered another one. Thats $1.25 only from US to India
[Nexus 4 General] Di@blo:
Heyyy..I thought you did not pay any customs if I remember correctly! Fedex guy forgot to collect and left your shipment right? :confused:

The logic behind this has been explained in this thread already. It goes like this. While ordering using debit cards, first hold happens immediately.

If Google is able to ship within a week or so (approx. value and not exactly a week) they would be able to claim the first hold on the shipping date and ship your phone. In this case, there won't be any second charge. If shipping gets delayed more than that, then Google will not be able to claim the first hold and a second charge happens. The first hold will then be released by the bank to your account.

I have. More than once. First time it took 12 days. My recent order is yet to arrive. Will update once I get it.

It is indeed. :D Congrats to your friend. The same happened to another guy in this thread. Google shipped but never charged. :p

The answer is still debatable and it ultimately comes down to personal choice of what you want and what you don't want out of both. The difference between $32 and $25.41(~350rs) doesn't help much in declaring that THIS is the best. If NJ had been tax free, then you have a point to discuss further. :)

[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
Yes I was wrong in telling that Gadgetshieldz don't give a tracking id.

In my case, I booked on 7th march evening, my item delivered on 8th morning (today), but shipping and tracking info given only on 8:30 PM (i mean 12 hours after delivery) :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] hemant_p:
1 N4 Stolen (might be) out of 2

My weight on FedEx tracking page automatically went from 1.9lbs to 0.9 pounds. It definitely means that it has been stolen somewhere in the transit. I called up FedEx care and the executive said that it might be a typo. Hard to believe as it has been exactly reduced to half. :(:mad:

Who would be responsible for the insurance in case I receive only one nexus 4 instead of 2? HSG or FedEx? :rolleyes:

Will definitely ask HSG for an invoice which FedEx gave from to them having the original weight...
[Nexus 4 General] Jundstars:
i am all set to order the nexus 4.

1) registered in PPOBOX and got the US address

2) VPN tool installed

3) Registered to google wallet

now i realised when using PPOBOX you need to create a "Unique package no." before ordering- since this needs to be included in the shipping address. I Havn't ordered yet but to create the unique id i need the following details which i dont know:

a. ORDER TRACKING NO

b. US ORDER TRACKING NO.

c. Order No. on Item invoice

Iam sure i have goofed up somewhere. Any advise from people who have ordered via PPOBox?
[Nexus 4 General] akhil.in:

No you don't have to pay anything and customs fee is included in this.

Finally placed an order after so much confusion about Ppobox,HSG,CWG etc etc..used ppobox due to following reasons

1. Seal does not gets open @ indian customs

2. I will know exactly how much i need to pay, so no surprises from customs

3. Used new jersey address where google charged me 25$ as tax.

4. Have read almost all the pages and found that ppobox have got best reviews

Waiting time begins today..:) hope to receive a perfectly well nexus in perfect price..:P

PPO Box Unable to "create new shipment"

Hello All,

I am new to this forum. I had read about how to order a Nexus 4 via PPOBox and i did go ahead, but i'm struck with a small but weird and saddening problem. I booked my Nexus 4 16GB on March 7, 2013 (12:56 PM MST) and it got shipped March 8 (1:32 AM MST). Now when I try to create a new package in PPOBox, i dont see my name/unable to enter it in the 'Name' field (2nd from top). And, because its a mandatory field, i am not able to 'Submit' the form. One of my friend who also has booked it with PPOBox says it should appear automatically.

I tried calling their Mumbai office and USA office, but I think their office is closed because its weekend.

I've e-mailed them regarding this problem and also the details asked in that "create new package" form(hoping, they can do something from their place).

I wanted to ask if anyone has faced this problem and im worried if the package might go lost (the UPS tracking says it will be delivered on Monday EOD).

Thanks,

Ravikanth

Hey even i ordered on March 7, 2013 using cc. However, it is still stuck on single bullet. No emails have been received except the receipt. I dont know what to do. Should i wait or send an email to play store ? What mode of payment did you use- debit card or credit card ?

It should be DC 5 Volts for all and amperage differs. For external chargers, it is 2 Amperes and for USB chargers, it is between 0.5 to 2.0 amperes.

You can charge with a good quality charger which supplies less than or equal to 5V and 2A
