Mishandled Delivery

Well, I have ordered my Nexus 4. Although the delivery time says 6-7 weeks, it varies a lot. I can get it a lot sooner or a lot later.

If sooner, a relative of mine can get it for me to India.

But if later, I will have to use one of the postal services to get it shipped here.

I am pretty much skeptical over this, I have read about various instances of packages being mishandled. Even stolen/lost in many cases. Especially when it comes to electronic devices. We live in India, and unfortunately such circumstances are inevitable. Shipping is not all that cheap either, it can take up to $100 including all those trivial additional costs. FedEx for one is one of the most trustworthy out of the lot, but I am not sure whether to get one shipped or not. What do you guys have in mind if a friend/relative will not be able to get your Nexuses to India.

If my Nexus is lost/stolen. I am definitely not going to be getting another one.

Thank you.

Note: I do know that there are many of us who have had successful shipping in the past. In fact, a cousin of mine shipped all the stuff he owned from USA to India. But there are also a bunch of them who faced disastrous situations. So skeptical. Its a controversial topic. Are you willing to take the risk?

Have u used an iPhone before (specifically one with retina display)? Actually, I want to know how does the whites compare to whites on nexus 4? I really love the sharpness and whites on iPhone 4S screen as compared to whites on gsiii that I bought recently.

Write your name in Name and Shipping,

But at the time of payment, do use your father name when its time to pay.

And Untick "Billing information is same as name and home location"
[Nexus 4 General] ddz334:
No problem

There is no problem in giving any address, if they are US addresses. For example if your father's is an US address you can give it in billing info. Otherwise you should give the borderlix address. Shipping address should be that given from borderlinx.

I still think bumpers bring out the beauty of nexus 4. but those security consicious may go for armoured security cases.

haha..thanks for that but i was actually looking for the scratch guards

a good deal actually :good:

i actually prefer the armored cases..you see ...just to be double sure ..that its as good as bulletproof :P
[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
Hi,

Before ordering , I had a chat with Borderlinx customer care and it looks like you can pay through paypal or any Indian cards, either credit or debit. But I would advise you to contact customer service yourselves first to get a confirmation. I will tell you why.

Some years before, we used to order things from Amazon.com for products like Kindle and its accessories. At that time, very few competitive courier services were available and Borderlinx quotes used to be great, but they were accepting only citibank Cards. So we opt for some ****ty service like VPOST (NEVER USE VPOST) using our luck. But now it seems that, Borderlinx are accepting all cards.

Anyway, with Borderlinx, I always pay with paypal because I used to do so all the time :)

Case - Ringke Fusion

Hey Guys,

I just ordered a nexus 4 and im excited about it.

Just wondering anyone else also planning to buy a Ringke Fusion Case for the Nexus 4 .. Please let me know .. Maybe we can make a bulk order and share he shipping.
[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
Gadshieldz, according to my experience is really good compared to Xtreme guard. They fits perfectly. With Xtremeguard, once it did not fit properly with my Amazon Kindle fire.

But I may be wrong, because I never applied gadshieldz myself. But I had tried Xtremeguard before with my Amazon Kindle. I had done a great mess of it. I had to order again and change it later. See the photograph to understand the mess, if U apply wrongly. :silly:

Eventhough I had finally learnt, how to apply a screen protector with my experiences on Amazon Kindle fire, I decided not to take risk with Nexus 4, I knew a man, who is well versed with such jobs and he did it greatly for me. A photo of Nexus 4 is also attached
[Nexus 4 General] Sukhi:
I am in... Hope my order goes through this time. I just ordered the 8gb through PPOBox few mins back. My last 2 orders in the last 4 days weren't shipped wherein people who ordered just mins after me got their orders shipped.
[Nexus 4 General] Xytise:
I just ordered my Nexus 4 from ebay. I am also willing to buy the Ringke Fusion case for the Nexus 4. count me in for the bulk order
[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
Xtreme Guard

Guys, If you are going to test your phone with Xtremeguard, beware of two things.

1) Before applying, always have a bowl half filled with soapy solution with you. Yours fingers should be wetted with the solution just before tearing the guard.

2) After you remove the guard, apply the solution on the sticky side of the guard with your fingers. Try to apply the guard immediately on the phone after the guard is wetted. This is very important. Otherwise, your end product will be full of air bubbles and you will not be able to get rid of those, even with a card
[Nexus 4 General] sincross:
Ok guys these are my details for purchase of my nexus 4 16gb using borderlinx...this post is a bit late as i was trying to resolve some issues with borderlinx regarding octroi and customs charged to me during delivery..

1)Ordered on 28 th Jan using axis bank debit card

2) Shipped to borderlinx on 4th Feb

3)Received by borderlinx on 6th Feb

4)Shipped to India on 7th Feb using DHL

5)Delivered to my house on 12th Feb

Cost Break Up

1)Amount paid to google - 21616 (this was the amount deducted from my acc)

2)Amount paid to Borderlinx - 2002

3)Amount paid on Delivery ( which was unexpected since borderlinx claimed everything was prepaid 1100 .400 customs and 700 octroi)

i raised a complaint with borderlinx regarding this and submitted photos of both custom and octroi invoice,initially they said that the 36 $ i paid to them for shipping did not include customs (while paying the amount mentioned for customs was indeed 0 $).I replied saying that their site claims that everything is 'PREPAID' and there are 'No surprises during delivery' so customs or no customs is none of my concerned. I also told them that im an active member in a forum where people discuss how to buy nexus 4 and that a negative comment would hamper their reputation :p.

they agreed and initially offered 21$ off coupon for next shipment.I told them declined since i didnt want have anything that i wanted to ship from US and told them to credit my account with the money which they soon did a couple of days later...

so alll in all im satisfied with borderlinx and would recommend it to all.

comGateway Charges?

Guys i have ordered Nexus 4 From Play Store on 13 March.

Google Shipped on 14 March.

Reached CGW US address on 15 March.

Got Mail from CGW on 16 March that product has arrived. Paid same day.

Till now CGW didn't ship coz 16 and 17 is Saturday and Sunday.

I have mailed them to attach the invoice on the package.

Guys any idea about customs here in Hyderabad? How much i will get charged?

And is there any way to lower the customs by giving the invoice?

should i provide invoice to customs or to DHL/FedEx?

Any help is appreciated. Experience people can shed some Light.
[Nexus 4 General] hemant_p:
DHL + bangalore is not a good combination as the customs are stupendously high around 2.2-2.5k... I went with FedEx for Hyderabad and they cleared customs in 6 hours after reaching Bangalore with 1650 per phone (I ordered two phones)... Attaching the FedEx tracking and customs breakup...

FedEx might take some time to reach Bangalore, but once it reaches here, things are pretty fast and cheaper and thats what matters...
[Nexus 4 General] meher91:
From what I'hv read, If CWG attaches the invoice on the package then customs officials will take that into account and calculate the charges appropriately...

So make sure CWG sticks the invoice on the package!

Let me know what happens...I'm from HYD aswell...
[Nexus 4 General] piyush.nexus:
Thanks

1) which forwarding service did u use? (PPOBOX/CGW/HSG)

2) did u tell them (PPOBOX/CGW/HSG) to attach invoice on package or FedEx people?

Any more suggestion?

If i get a friend in the US to buy it and then send it to delhi what are the extra costs I can expect and how much??

[Nexus 4 General] mitchell_asada:
We use Borderlinx address as Billing address.

If your order's cancelled, then better create a new gmail id using Tunnel bear.

Log in and don't use your old card ( preferably use your friend's credit card)

The shipping address and billing should be Borderlinx's address.

Before ordering, log in your wallet account and change your address and phone number to Borderlinx's

Wallet Credit card Problem

Hi all,

I purchased my nexus phone using an account that is created exclusively for the purpose of procuring the phone.

After the phone has reached me, I registered with my personal gmail account. For wallet info, I registered the card used already for procuring Nexus 4. When I try to purchase any app, the transaction always gets failed.

Any one knows how to rectify this problem? I guess its due to the fact that my card is registered in two accounts.

How to overcome this problem? Someone help please!!!!

[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Yup. Nothing extra. If your place have octroi or similar taxes levied by local body (Municipal Corporation) you'll have to pay accordingly.
[Nexus 4 General] prateek2888:
Its easy getting them in bulk, if you are ready to pay the customs. Google did restrict one phone per id in December I think but that was removed too later. I think one can buy 5-6 phones together or maybe more.
[Nexus 4 General] ramkumar2000:
We Indian always have some shortcut of doing things..We know very well to take benefit from any business opportunity, even if that guy had paid 22k per phone he have already earned 3 lacs. and he may have avoided customs by doing some setting with custom guy...

Its very much possible guys..so dont doubt any one if he is selling this in a little lower price..:)
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
He has sold 109 and had 95 in stock when I checked earlier. That's almost 40.5 lakhs. To do that kind of investment on one phone is unreal.

Like someone said, it might be cart2india kind of scam. He might have had 5-10 Nexus 4's which he sold and other's he will be ordering as and when people place orders.

I did message the seller and asked him about octroi and his reply was "YES" ... dude his replies are lame and kinda disinterested ... I write 1-2 sentence long queries and he replies with a "OK" or "YES" or "NO"

and it has not been shipped as yet, evening has passed. now I am getting a bit worried about it.

Ebay Nexus 4

The thing is, one of my friend got galaxy nexus from ebay as the phone was not released in India. When Google used to release the updates, his phone never showed the available updates & he used to manually flash the updated version. From the version 4.2, his phone has started showing updates normally.

According to him, the phone he bought from ebay was apparently not purchased through Google Play which resulted in no updates from Google. I dont know what exactly does this mean but thought to share with you guys.
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
Shipping in 1 day!!??
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
There are apparently three versions of Galaxy Nexus in the international market. Yakju (sold by Google Play US) , takju (Sold by Google Play outside US) and yakjuxw (non-yakju, sold by Samsung). Yakju versions get firmware updates first, then to takju in a few days while updates for yakjuxw takes a while as it's pushed by Samsung and not Google. Your friend might have the non yakju version.

No such different versions exists for Nexus 4.
