Pune Octroi

FYI,

IF anybody is ordering from Pune, I will suggest ship it to Hinjewadi Phase 2 to your friend or relative. This will save Octroi :)
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
AFAIK, WB doesn't have octroi however it will attract sales tax. The whole form 38/39 stuff that's applicable in UP.

Some ebay sellers too are reluctant to ship to WB because of this hassle. You can ship the phone to some relative in another state and

collect it from them manually if possible.

[Nexus 4 General] hemant_p:
Once it has the shipment exception status, things start moving fast. My package went from France to Dubai to Bangalore and cleared customs in a matter of 24 hours after it reached this status.

Just call FedEx India at 1800 209 6161 and ask them to expedite the shipment once it reaches India. I did that and customs cleared in 6 hours of reaching Bangalore customs. Hope this helps.

Hope this helps... :good:

Customs breakup

Attaching the Bangalore customs invoice from FedEx and the shipment on the box attachment which hsg/cwg provides for customs purposes...

They took the value which I declared $711.99 + $1.42 (tinsurance) + $24 (freight) = $737.42

and back calculated to get round figure INR 3,000 = 7% duty of 2,963 (+37 service tax) on value of 42,333/... :rolleyes:

And Fedex most probably added their 300 handling charges...

Seems weird to me... :confused:

Package still showing "IN TRANSIT" in Bangalore, would most probably reach Hyderabad by tomorrow..

Btw skinomi screen protector is very smooth

Yes a bit of orange peel near the proximity sensors that's it.

[Nexus 4 General] Umang Sardesai:
Dude ur review is short and concise ..that's what is actually needed ...! :good:

Well I had one doubt the mobile operator makes ur SIM to MicroSIM at the service center..right..?

What if I wish u use my SIM on my earlier phone.. So how to convert from MicroSIM to SIM ??

Also what is MicroSIM Adaptor ??

Thanks ...:o
[Nexus 4 General] yogeshmha:
Service center gives you a replacement as micro sim. THEY DONOT CUT YOUR SIM CARD TO MICROSIM

To convert either get a sim cutter. U can get that on ebay in 100 bucks or u can get it cut at a cell store in some nominal charge

Sim cutting is not recommended by service prroviders

Normal sim when cut to micro sim cannot be fit in normal sim phone

So you need micro sim adapter to convert your micro sim to normal sim

Well adapter may not be of good quality so think before u decide ur options

I have no idea hows my frnds sister home looks like to arrange refusal note ...

how this UPS guys will recognise the note of refusal ? Suppose they not able to find out the note then what to do ???

& since now they mentioned shipping as 6-7 weeks means almost 1.5 months..so do you guys still thinks it will arrive before 28th Dec ??

& will UPS charge me shipping charges after cancellation ? or i will get full refund not single penny will get deducted !!

Is there any chance to ship order from shipping address to borderlinx address if she leaves US..so i will ship from bordelinx..

Please help me guys please its urgent ..My bloody friend not even giving me confirmation whether to send her address or not..
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
^^ let me understand correctly. Right now you have ordered and have put the shipping address of your friends sis? And you want go know what to do if it doesn't reach her on time before she leaves for india?

Ans: I am on the same boat. I will cancel 3 days before my person leaves for India.. just to be safe.

The note issue is only in that case if its already shipped . I don't know what the issue in the refusal note. Just write u don't want it. Also the note is needed if no when else is their at home. Her family member could refuse it when courier guy comes

And if you want to change shipping address to have to see Google support page link on the last page. See all sections on the left. Shipping address can be changed only in limited conditions.

Hope this helps

@ ^^^ Karan..No bro you not got my reply bro..

No..i have not ordered yet..waiting for her confirmation..& problem is she lives alone i guess ..So how UPS guys will recognise refusal note ?? & Suppose they unable to find note then ?
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
OK .. put note on the front door where the ups guy will come knocking. Make the note in bold. This is all subjective stuff! It IS possible that the guy will not see the note. Q

Then comes the question if no one is present at the address, what would happen? Ask evillord here if a signature is required for receiving parcel. If it is required than For this I think ups will not deliver and return the product back. Google will charge u shipping and refund the remaining. This is all I have understood seeing other threads and reading Google support pages.

This should be asked a Person living there to the Google CSR. What I can do here is speculate.

I still don't get is why not just cancel the order sometime in the future when the date of coming to India comes?

Have been using it for more than 2 weeks and the rubbery surface will smoothen out with use. My only concern is, the protector started peeling off the edges minnly because of the case. It is uneven along the edges on the right side and seems like it pushes the screen protector when I keep the phone in jeans :(
[Nexus 4 General] coolraghav:
fastest and cheaper ? you have to give some kind of pirority to one of those words. If it was possible to do both people weren't that idiots paying from premium express etc.

Anyway, if you want cheapest way..it would be DHL but don't contact DHL directly they will charge you more than anything coz you have only one consignment to send. whereas try contacting dtdc or any other local courier waala who has tie ups with dhl/fedex they get good discounts as they have accounts with the same. I had sent lot of wedding cards like this to US and it works really good.

Did you have any accessories in the same shipment? If so, it could be because of that which has a almost 12-15% duty. If not, its over charged and should probably take it up with dhl or whoever was clearing agent.

But look at the positive side, even at that price its a damn good phone than any other device in the market now :good:
[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
Dude, they charged 2400 for me...

1% Basic Duty

7% CVD

& 300 inr for handling charges

The idiots in customs even got a scratch on the screen guard, its a minor one but still, gave ,me shocks. removed the stock screen guard to check if any damage to the screen

[Nexus 4 General] ramkumar2000:
I do not get why people are not using PPOBOX instead of CWG or HSG..?

Ppobox will charge around 2.5 k (Shipping+customs)

Ppobox have some setting with customs so boxes are not opened

Ppobox is reliable and they have their office in mumbai also

The only problem is that they have their warehouse in Newyork and New Jersey

Newyork attracts tax of 32$ and New Jersey attracts tax of 25$

So if any one will calculate than one will find that cost for both Hsg/Cwg vs Ppobox is almost same (Apart from a few exceptions for whom customs were very less by CWG)

So i suggest to order with ppobox and forget about the customs charging you higher..:)
