1. As u only said they changed their options after checkout... how would i know, I only quoted what they mentioned on their website...

Go blame them... They are the ones who broke their agreement...
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
I'm not blaming anyone for anything. Besides, the whole point was the inclusion of customs duty in shipping charges by Negri Electronics. Well, it's not included. Neither in Economy nor in Priority. Same with MyUS and a couple of other services I've checked.
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
Ok... As per Rodeo_Calling's post, he mentioned that the shipping included custom, taxes etc. which cost him 4.5k...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1978169&page=45

@Rodeo_Callig - Bro can u elaborate us on the customs duty u were charged after the device arrived at ur doorsteps??? If so how much???
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
He didn't incur any extra costs. Borderlinx rates include duties.
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
Yeah thats why i have mentioned a few posts back that Borderlinx is reliable & I said MYUS may calculate just shipping & one should always calculate with FedEx or DHL with the link posted... As far as Negri concerned, they broke their promises as u have mentioned after checkout...

And now we should Stop this or we might get a warning from moderator for spamming...

Does anyone know if there is anything different in the new HW REV? Are any of the issues fixed?

Also, doesn't look like this phone is going to release in India. Does that deter any of you?
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
HSG, PPO etc are just forwarding companies. They finally ship the good via one or the other international courier. e.g borderlinx ships via DHL. AFAIK in HSG you can choose to get it either via FedEx or DHL. Some ship via ARAMEX which is a middle east based company.
[Nexus 4 General] pranav_cache:
I used PPO Box and was happy with their service. The good part was that ma phone was intact with no open seal. PPO's warehouse is in Mumbai, so the delivery should be a bit early too.. :)

[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
No one buys products for you. You need to buy yourself and ship it to address given by HSG/borderlinx etc . They will then ship it to whatever location you want outside US.

You can buy with Indian CC as long as you use billing and shipping address as the one given by HSG/borderlinx on Google Wallet while registering your card.

Read the OP to know the process and prices various forwarders charge and select the one you prefer.
[Nexus 4 General] mukuntharajaa:
Thanks bro. I just ordered using vpn. First time it throwed some "technical problem" error. Second time i was able to process the order :D But my card was charged immediately. Google receipt says it will charge my card only after starts shipping. I checked the status. It shows as pending. Did i do anything wrong :(
[Nexus 4 General] Maxxxxxxxxxx:
its perfect

you were pre charged and it will be refunded to ur account soon

and later you will be charged again when ur phone is delivered
[Nexus 4 General] mukuntharajaa:
Thanks for the info bro. I was so scared as I used Indian debit card and it charged me the whole amount even before it started shipping. A sigh of releif now :) Can you also tell, how long does it take to refund this pre-charged amount ?
[Nexus 4 General] vsajan:
hie ,

i am using ppobox.com for shipping

so can i use the format "sajan velamati -icc 373523 (-Pkg ID no. if available)
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
As far as I remember, with debit cards they'll charge your card a second time when it ships and then the first charge will be refunded, so basically they'll debit twice the value of the purchase. You may want to keep your account well funded. (this problem occurs because the " hold" funda doesn't work in debit cards). people who had ordered via debit cards can confirm. Also try n search this thread. This was discussed at length.

Guys,

Whoever used Indian Debit card and has been charged twice, Did you actually get the amount back ? If so how many days it took for you ?

its like 7 days and the amount will be left (from hold)

contact ur bank if you have any problem :)

Nexus 4 + Bumper

If i am ordering both the Nexus 4 and official bumper, do they get delivered as single package or different packages at different times/days. If they get delivered as different package, then i read somewhere on PPOBox that they do not provide repackaging. In that case, will i be charged for 2 consignments delivery?

Also, if the packages are delivered separately, do i get separate tracking id's for them?
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
If you put both on cart and Checkout together. Play will charge shipping only once which means both will be shipped together.

Considering that I ordered only 24 hours before February started, and that there's only been 2 days in Feb so far, I guessed it would still be relevant. :)
[Nexus 4 General] yogeshpote:
okay let me throw some light on the question many of us had raised in past.

if you order N4 on debit card then money is been taken off the account and its sticking in between google and your local bank most of the time the amount is virtually hold by CHASE (banking partner) . Till the time your device is not ready for shipping google doesnt claim the money from CHASE, now what goes wrong is if your device waiting time is more then 4 weeks which in most of the case is the wait time, your hold money goes in limbo and when google tries to claim that money thinking its authorization hold the bank fails to approve,so in that case people receive email notification from google stating your order is on hold and authorization failed please update the payment method. this happens inall the cases if the device is been purchased using debit cards. if your wait time is less then 4 week the transaction goes smooth and the device is ready to ship. so to resolve this problem one has to update the payment method and have to give permission to google wallet to charge the bank. now google would charge again and this time your money will be taken off again from your debit card for 2nd time. ones google receive the payment positively which happens in maximum 2 hours you would receive the intimation of N4 sale and following to which you would get the tracking info. and then within day or 2 your initial authorization hold will fall back to your debit card account as that wasnt claimed by google. so in short the money which was charged 2 times will be refunded.

hope this helps people who are ordering the device with there debit card.

hey i want to order nexus 4 and bumper. i am ordering from hopshopgo.com. now should i order both the things differently or together. if i order together, will it be packed together and delivered to me? if yes than customs will charge 16% on phone as well. so what am i supposed to do? should i order two things together in one cart , so that google ships it together and charges one time. OR i can order one after the other and still google will ship both together but not in the same box? i hope you guys understand my question
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
Regardless of how Google packs it, HSG will pretty much ship it all in 1 box. So I think it's pointless to order them separately from the Play Store.
[Nexus 4 General] saptak1990:
Apparently there's no invoice or bill included in the shipment, acc to this unboxing video! How does the customs people evaluate the phone then?
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
I'm assuming the author of the video removed it before filming the unboxing. Besides, from what I've read here, HSG/PPOBOX will ask you to declare the value of the items they're forwarding so that they can declare the same to customs when they arrive here.
[Nexus 4 General] Maxxxxxxxxxx:
it is given along with delivery
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
I think they will attach the bill on the side of the box or on the ups cover. He may have removed the same.

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

I think we can sort it out at the hopshopgo website. HSG won't ship all of them together but we'll be charged extra due to two times of shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] TheQuarterMile:
Do you think there is a relation with what vpn you use and the shipping time you get?
[Nexus 4 General] lionrock7:
Highly improbable. Google seems to be shipping some devices at random, probably to project an image that things are in order. It is only those who have not got their devices shipped even after 4 days who are getting very impatient.

Tomorrow is a new business day and I'm expecting that most of the 29th orders should get shipped. Fingers crossed!
[Nexus 4 General] saptak1990:
Now I'm waiting for someone to say, "I think those who're ordering from Google Chrome are getting delivered it first"!!

Give your brain a rest! It's random. As simple as that.
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
I'm slightly worried that despite shipping the phone, I have not been charged on my CC. I got an SMS about being charged while placing the order, but I can't find any traces of it in my CC account online. I hope they don't cancel my order for some reason.
[Nexus 4 General] lionrock7:
What do you mean? You say you got an SMS about being charged, and then say that you can't find it in your CC account online?
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
Exactly! I was charged $1 while adding the card for verification purposes, and normally should see it being refunded. But I got no transactions(either on hold or fulfilled) in my Unbilled expenses list.
[Nexus 4 General] saptak1990:
No, they don't charge it actually. They just place a temporary hold for $1 for verification purposes only. So you'd never see it in your CC statement. Google shipped my phone on 29th & charged me on 30th Jan. So, don't worry - they'll charge you!!
[Nexus 4 General] sheik_yerbouti:
Yea, I hope the delay is because of the weekend. Let's see.
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
From tomorrow evening /night the business day will start for Google and the other companies. So be patient and positive as well. Also still the timeline is 1-2 weeks. LG is manufacturing on a large scale I guess.

Query on ordering Nexus 4 through PPOBox

New to the XDA dev forum and a soon-to-be nexus4 user; thanks to all the info/input from the members.

I have a query on the order that was placed recently. Initially, the plan was to get the N4 16GB and the official bumper. So, I had created a package ID on PPOBox with the total cost as $368.99. Later, due to change of mind, I just ordered for the phone (without the bumper). Now my total cost being just $349, I am unable to edit the cost details on my PPOBox account. Will this be an issue, or will I be shelling out extra? Is there any way to contact PPOBox and get it rectified? Do let me know if you have a thought on this.
