---------- Post added at 12:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:55 AM ----------

Its in madgaon. I will visit the shop tomorrow again and get the number for you.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
It comes to anywhere between 410 to 435$, depending on the forwarding service chosen. [including customs of around 10$]
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
It's costing me 349 (for the device) + 14 (US Shipping) + 26 (Intl shipping) + 10 (approx customs) + 20 (approx bank currency conversion) = A max of $419 = Rs22.7k

But this comes with ~4 weeks of waiting for the device to arrive in my case.*

Yes definitely do that. I'm coming back to goa tomorrow and I'll check out the shop as soon as possible.
[Nexus 4 General] depletion:
Delivery???!!!!!!

No they were calling all customers and they told est shipping date will be Feb last week so they are initiating refund.If u need N4 soon i would suggest you get the refund and find other sources and also they mess with my refund which took almost 2 weeks to resolve .Don't trust them.

Any one with nexus 4 how is your battery life. I used to have great battery life but from two days android os is eating my phone's battery. It is keeping it awake for 8 hours :eek: can any one suggest good app to find out wake locks?

Too bad. Hope you get it soon and me too:D
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Hey guys! My package arrived at comGateway. I have one question for when my screen protector and case arrive as well. How does consolidation work? Would I have to declare all 3 packages separately? Or would I have to declare them together as something?

And is 'Cell Phone' fine or should I get it marked as a 'Mobile Phone'? I just don't want to be overcharged at customs, and I know they're just looking for a reason to do that :P
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
And when and how do we send the purchase invoices to the hopshopgo? They have not demanded it yet!
[Nexus 4 General] njankit:
I see, this is the only screen guard with a proximity sensor cut out, so I went ahead and ordered them.

Also planning to buy either rubberized case or Leather Magnetic Flip case
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
I had two packages-phone and bumper in a single package and had to declare them and also tell the total value of the item.

For USA, it is "Cell Phone" and for other countries it is "Mobile Phone". But, haven't seen any issues in the thread with people who marked it as Mobile Phone.

I mailed them separtely the invoices I received specifically mentioning how each should be labelled. But, they labelled it as cell phone. [no cell phone accessory] even though bumper was there.

I got the screen guard. [ in fact got two pairs!!] Haven't applied it yet, but it seems to be of decent quality. [at least similar to the standard 100+ screen guard you usally get in retail shops] . Will let you guys know how it is after applying them. [will probably remove the front one after applying, and use only the back though.]
[Nexus 4 General] njankit:
Yes, you'll get the option to declare the item value separately and you can select all of them to ship together (that is consolidation) and 'cell phone' is just fine. Also if possible use the express shipping option, I find it vfm and believe that custom clearance is faster
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
Did you mail them as soon as package was delivered? I am waiting for my other orders to reach hopshopgo. Should I mail them the invoices once I'm ready to ship them to India or should I mail them the invoices right away?
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Invoice as in the initial Google Play receipt?

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

Hmm I didn't think about express earlier since it's just 3 days quicker. Think I'll go for it now.
[Nexus 4 General] MANOJ5329:
Y don't u buy it in India itself through grabmore.in. at least u will get global warranty for 28k....
[Nexus 4 General] cyanide911:
Because in the off chance we do need to send our phone for an RMA, it'll still cost us less than 28k to send it back and get the new one here.
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
Yes. They will need it for customs clearance.
[Nexus 4 General] _KP:
Hey my phone is ready to be shipped from HSG. i've declared a value of $363. When do i send them the invoice? and how do i send it to them? like how will they know for which item the invoice is?
[Nexus 4 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Friends HELP me,

I know the thread is for nexus 4,but still help me....

Customs charged me Rs.10272 for 3 Nexus 7 ,

I shipped 3 Tablet pc , which declare value was $ 732.98 as product consists of $299 for one 3G model & $433.98 for two wifi models,

Can anyone please tell me what went wrong,is it correct ? what % duties are there for tablet pcs? i called DHL who told me to write mail if you feels its wrong,i mailed them , Please help me.
[Nexus 4 General] mlndshh:
thanks for this thread!

i am planning to buy a nexus 4 but its out od stock :(

any ideas as to when it will be available again?
[Nexus 4 General] ImSherlocked:
I am first time user too. Not sure how it works.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
Wait for the package to arrive at HSG/comgateway. Now see what they have on file for your package( you will know when ur package arrive on website). It will be just the UPS delivery note specifying the IMEI no. etc. Now email them the invoice (see their contact us page). rename the invoice file with the package ID they generate for your package. They will take a day to update their website with new package invoice. BUT please confirm again with them that their US warehouse keepers have the invoice updated with them also. When that is confirmed only then pay the shipping and they will forward the package.

What i did was send them the email shipping email google sends you plus the already updated UPS delivery note HSG has on file in one pdf.

It turns out website is different then physical change of invoice. Mine was delayed at customs because no supporting docs were provided to DHL.
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
check out what was the declared amount in the customs receipt, even for tablets the customs is 16.5 % of the declared value.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
Ask DHL for the official BILL OF ENTRY for customs. it contains all details of custom duty, the real value and the assessed value. Chances are DHL was not provided with the invoice of the tablets. So customs "assessed" your tablets for much greater value.

tablets are charged 17% at customs.

Also you have to ask if any octroi is charged. As you live in Maharashtra it would be there. My guess is customs was charged for 5000 to 6000. DHL charged 350 as their cost for each tablet and remaining is the octroi.
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
Is it necessary to mail the invoice?

I didn't do it coz they didn't ask.

Will it cause any problems?
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Well, I was in constant touch with them over email after hearing the stories of the extra customs duty and also to avail of the free 1KG shipping offer. So, I kept asking them when they need it. They never asked for it. Just sent to them anyway.

You forward the mail you got from google to HSG, and mention in the mail , the item details.

Whoa. As stated earlier it should be closer to 16%. That sucks. Hope you are able to resolve this.

I think it would be safer to just mail them. But, from what I understand, all they look for in the customs is the value we have specified when adding the package [in HSG]. Hence HSG probably doesn't need it.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
Why will they ask? Its your responsibility to give them docs as required by customs. They dont care about customs! Or dont give now and give the docs to DHL when they need it, which i am sure they will. FYI i was charged Rs800 for 2 phones including DHL charges of Rs 350
[Nexus 4 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
You absolutely right,

I just got call from DHL ,they are very near & will reach to my house within 2 hours, i asked them about octroi they said around 2.5 to 3 K they charged for octroi & sumthing 5.XX K charged for customs, they coming with bills & all tax breaking , So i will come to know only after that , It means i have no any hope to get some money in return..

I was not aware of octroi for maharashtra, How much octroi % are there for Maharashtra ?? Was there any chances to save this octroi ? So i will take care of octroi also while importing . Thanks alott for reply,I will post all tax for clarification.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
octroi is not just for international imports... its for *ANY* package import into maha. so anything bought online outside maha is fair deal for octroi
[Nexus 4 General] kirandanduprolu:
So looks my DHL package containing the phone is On Hold at New Delhi sort facility of DHL.

Does that imply that they are getting it cleared at customs? How much time does it take?
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Mine says arrived at new delhi and then another record that says clearance process completed.

Don't know if it means customs are done. If they aren't done it will be done on Monday and will have the phone by tuesday

Sent from Jellybeaned I9100 using XDA Premium
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
I think so. It took only 15 mins. [as it shows in the tracker]

The thing is I had registered for notifications. So, in the mail I got it under "Notification for shipment event group "Customs clearance" for 05 Jan 13.". Which probably means that clearance process completed means customs are done. But, the thing is after morning 6.30 AM, there has been no update. So, I guess there might be something additional which is required.

@Those who used DHL,

Any idea what's next?
[Nexus 4 General] CrazySpartan:
My phone is still in "SHIPMENT UNDER CUSTOM CLEARANCE" since 2nd Jan., ordered via PPOBOX :( :crying:
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
My friend got his delivered couple weeks back. According to him that status means customs paid but since it's a phone they do physical inspection for verifying IMEI on phone. If verification is done it should start tonight from Delhi if not it will happen on monday and phone delivered on Tuesday.

His phone was shipped from Delhi around 11pm and he got it next day. Let's wait till 11. If it ships by then we'll get it on monday if not then Tuesday

[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:

[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
After some research, it looks like BongoUS.com is the most reliable US-to-India shopping and shipping service available.

If I purchase 1 Nexus 4 16GB through BongoUS, it's going to cost me around 30.6k MAX.

As I add more units, the total cost decreases. If I purchase, say 4 Nexus 4 16GB devices, it's going to cost around 27.4k per device MAX.

I personally need 2 devices. I'm thinking if it would be beneficial to purchase 4-5 units (assuming Play Store has enough stock the next time they open up sale of course) this way, or maybe pre-order the devices through TheAmericanBazaar or someone similar (the downside to this is that they already have lots of pending orders, so my order would be placed at the end of the queue and god knows how many they will be able to purchase when Play Store restocks), or just wait for the phone to launch in India (it's almost certainly going to be priced upwards of 30k).

What do you guys think?
[Nexus 4 General] asdf2020:
Still now no sign of second lot at playstore. And also no sign of release in India as of now
[Nexus 4 General] justkiddinghere:
If 50 people gonna buy nexus at 24 to 28 k for now and in case it launched over 30k 10 to 15 will buy from that 50 because options are there

And nexus isnt perfect

It have LG tag

And no micro sd

Drawbacks

so price should be as in international market have

how did you ship it here?
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Most of us here have bought it from US Play Store and got it delivered in India using package forwarding companies like borderlinx, hopshopgo, ppobox etc.16GB cost us about 23-25k including phone+customs+us shipping.

28k for 8GB sounds a little too much. If you are in a hurry and can't wait then go ahead, if not wait till till Play Store opens up for orders again and order using package forwarders.
