One more thing, which service are you using ? mine is HopshopGo.... I guess the guard and screen protector comes under accessories so will have a higer custom duty... 30% if I am not wrong... what do you think?
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
For heaven's sake, please delete your post. We don't want this thread locked, having already received a warning from the mod.

There are lots of options available for selling your N4.

Oh, that's too bad. But, the poetic atmosphere one is not transparent, it is translucent. For transparent one, try this or similar listing on ebay. But, I've heard that the plastic case scratches. Regarding the Poetic bumper case, yes it is quite cheaper than OEM bumper, but is having a few 1 star ratings as well. [ rubber peeling off being the most common complaint]
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
I am going to order this from amazon and will ship it to hopshopgo address.

Please tell me how much will it cost me to chip it to India ?

[Nexus 4 General] rinsejohn:
Altogether, it would cost you $29.94 i.e (1$ = Rs.58 - Amazon Conversion) so Rs.1736/- for shipping them to HSG.

HSG it would cost you 25$ + Fuel Surcharge + Customs = Approx $30 (INR = Rs.1650/-) for shipping them alone. It would be best if you get it along with your Nexus 4. Hardly there would be any custom duties for these products.
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
Guys do Hopshopgo really allow us to consolidate the items delivered to them separately? How?
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
So you mean it will exceed almost Rs 3k

Actually I've purchased Nexus 4 from The American Bazaar as the give premium support too if there is any damage in the product
[Nexus 4 General] rinsejohn:
This is what HSG have mentioned in their F.A.Q's.

Q.	Does consolidation mean that you combine all my items into one package?

A.	No. Consolidating simply means that you ship all your packages at your U.S. Address back to your home at the same time.

Shipping multiple packages at the same time together counts as one shipment.

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 PM ----------

So that means you will have to pay separate for your shipping charges from HopShopGo. Overall weight of 500 grams - 1 KG would come around Rs.2500/- to Rs.3000/- approx including customs.
[Nexus 4 General] rahulsampath:
Please pardon me for asking same question again, If I buy a Poetic Borderline from Hopshopgo (Since I can't use my PPOBOX to consolidate the case with my phone), I will have to spend :

(Case) $9.95 + (Shipping) $20.75 + Surcharge + Customs = Rs.1900 Approx. + Waiting Time

In that case Don't you think I should be better off buying it from ebay for Rs.1399.(I am still confused, never spent Rs.1.5K for a stupid case)
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
If PPOBOX doesn't consolidate, then obviously you're better off with ebay
[Nexus 4 General] rodeo_calling:
Lol noobs :p

Nah just kidding :)

If you all remember I was one of the first to get an N4 in India from borderlinx, here. Since then I've bought 2 more for my friends.

So if you guys have any questions for me, I'll be happy to help. Will answer any questions tomorrow.

PS: I also bought screen protectors from eBay and amazon so ask away.

Since it doesn't have any case I am even scared to use my phone. I was waiting for LG's OEM Bumper but its still "Sold Out". In previous pages I read about Poetic Bumpers, Is it any good. Where can I find it? :silly:
[Nexus 4 General] rodeo_calling:
SGP ultra crystal (or was it clear), xtremeguard from amazon, and a cheap one from eBay. Smoothest SGP, toughest not sure but I bet on xtremeguard, cheapest from eBay

[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
Tell us how much will it cost to ship a nexus 4 + xtream guard + poetic bumper .... the to tal cost and which service did you use ?

I am going to ship via HSG, and was plannig to order the screen guard and bumper ($15 total) but dont know how much will it cost in total :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] aeromass:
Hey, I was also checking for a Poetic Bumper and the xtreme guard, but using HSG it will cost about Rs.2300.

I feel buying the poetic bumper (Rs.1399) and screen guard (Rs.250) from ebay seems more sensible.

You will get the bumper and screen guard for around Rs.1650.
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Shipping from HSG shouldn't cost more than 30USD including insurance and fuel surcharge.

[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
These both have a big price difference buddy
[Nexus 4 General] rahulsampath:
Try to buy it from amazon and ship it to India using any forwarding services (HSG). After all the shipping + Customs, the resulting prices are much higher than Ebay.

There is around Rs.300 difference.

Also you dont have to again wait for the case to come from US.
[Nexus 4 General] Harkunwar:
We will get it for a good price only if we ship it with the phone.... Shipping charges are very high

Ok guys, I juts ordered the poetic bumper and xtrean guard on amazon... cost me around 850 INR... considering imports will cost any where between 1.2 to 1.5K... lets see... hoping to get the same with the phone in my hands within 2 weeks now.... I dont mind waiting since i have already waited a month for the phone.. so I would like to have a safe case for the phone....:cyclops:

UPS Tracking

Anybody who got shipment mail on 29th DEC got a working UPS tracking no ?

As per Google it should be active after 24 hours. Or is it because of the holiday leaves ?
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
NO, even I dindt get the tracking active... I guess it will be active by 1st
[Nexus 4 General] rahulsampath:
I got the shipping mail on Dec 29 and it was active as soon as I got it. It already reached New York hub.

I think I will get it by Monday morning.
[Nexus 4 General] rodeo_calling:
Around 22k for the phone (16gigs). And around 1800 for shipping through borderlinx. I can't comment on other services. Only ever used borderlinx. Cheers.

---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 AM ----------

Shipping from borderlinx for these items should cost you about 3k. Each of these item's volumetric weight should be about .5kg.
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
Ok this is the reply I got from HSG regarding the shipping cost of Nexus + Bumper + screen gaurd..

So over all its a good deal with the phone considering you want the phone to be safe and shiny ;)
[Nexus 4 General] depletion:
I'm waiting for play store to comes back with new stocks soon as i don't want to spend more money on ebay or amazon.I already wasted more than a month with this crap2india.Eagerly waiting to purchase now.
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
Hope u got your refund.
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Their weights seem a bit off though, the N4 packed is 1.1lbs, which is 0.5kg (even it's volumentric weight is ~0.5kg), and the screen guard and cover can't weigh as much as the phone itself.
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
I know, they are providing the worst case analysis of the shipping charges... they will be less than .5kg for sure... lets see .

Also I have informed amazon to consider the package size to be as small as possible in terms of volumetric weight, they said they will surely consider the same..:cyclops:
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Nexus 4 will be 1.1lbs (0.5kg) as you said, and the screen guard and case will be 0.5lbs each. Apparently that's the minimum volumetric weight possible with them. So altogether it should be around 1kg, not 2.

I have my stuff sitting at HSG, so that's how I know.

---------- Post added at 01:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:44 PM ----------

Actual volumetric weight will be very less. The screen guards and case that I had shipped through Amazon showed "Actual Volumetric Weight" on HSG as 0.16lbs and 0.2lbs, but the next column that reads "Estimated Volumetric Weight" says 0.5lbs for each.

I can post a screenshot when I get on my computer if you'd like.
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
But they consider the individual weight rounded off to 0.5 kg right ?

OR is it the sum of the package rounded off to nearest 0.5 kg ?

eg: my package will be 05kg + .3kg + 0.2kg = 1kg (sum of the package)

OR

05kg + 0.5kg + 05kg = 1.5kg (rounded off to0.5kg )

which one of these will be the real weight according to HSG ?:confused:
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
They round off each individual shipment to the nearest 0.5lbs, not 0.5kg. :)
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
oh but the site says rounded of to nearest 0.5 kg

http://www.hopshopgo.com/hopshopgo/service-supportprime-shippingratesFuel.do?l=en&c=IN

well please do share the screen shot of the charges payed by you.. :)
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Don't worry about that man, it's just $3-4 per extra 0.5kg. On a 23k expense, don't think we need to give much thought to Rs 150 here or there :P

Still no shipping mail for me btw.
[Nexus 4 General] raul.k:
hehe thats right... I was afraid of the volumetric weight.. but that will not be a scary factor I think... now I can go and party hard today ;)

Which credit card do you have? First add your CC to Google Wallet. Make sure that *every* address you enter in the whole process, be it shipping or billing, is your Portland address. You'll need to add 3 addresses, one when adding the card, and two in settings (Home Address and Shipping address).

Then pay using Google Wallet on Google Play.

How to pay hoshopgo

Guys one little query, from previous posts I know ICICI Debit Card can be used to pay for N4 in Playstore, it reaches Hopshopgo and I pay hopshopgo, I 've applied for a paypal account and its undergoing verification, my question is can I pay hopshop via paypal using the ICICI Debit Card or will I require a Credit Card. I googled a lot but couldn't find any assurance reagarding ICICI Debit Cards acceptability to paypal.

From what I know, ICICI Debit Cards are one of the few Debit Cards which can be used on Paypal. Try registering, no harm there.

Don't worry that's normal... When Google updates payment successfully you get the latest date.. But the problem is now you ll need to wait 7 days for Google to get your order back in their system..that's the saddest part once the payment is declined

My payment got declined..I updated the payment method and they authorized my order 2 times..crazy

Anyways guys.. I forgot to update this thread but I got my beauty on 30.12.12..if you remember I was one of the first to order via play store on 27th Nov. And posted all my screenshots :)

Only ”nice” thing happened with the payment decline was I was able to change my card from icici to hdfc credit card.. Saved my Rs. in exchange rates (23k to 21500)

And shop and ship costs Rs. 556 ( they forgot to take shipping charges of sns..only paid customs..lol )

Guess Will pay them 600 Rs. Too they are awesome as service I recd. In 4 days and that too on Sunday.. ( let's see)

So just for everyone's info..customs department and sns are open on Sundays too.. If you all need any screenshots let me know

Also my N4 is protected with xtreme guard and temp.white tpu s line case

It's in New Jersey now, shouldn't take too long to arrive at NY. Definitely within a day.

Once SNS receives your package and ships it out to your Indian address, they will send you a different Aramex tracking number which you can then use to check status.

What do you mean it "worked"? Had the transaction status change to "Completed" in Google Wallet? If it was still "Pending", then it can't be considered "worked". Only once it changes to "Completed" you can be fully sure everything is done.
