[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
Thanks a lot for the tips, but I still have a couple of questions.

When you say 9 GBP shipping charge, that's what Google charges (to ship any N4 in the UK), right? Could you please elaborate on the costs involved with shopandship.com? The site says it costs 45 USD just to register, and I couldn't find info on shipping charges (from UK to India).

EDIT:

Oops, I'm sorry, just read that you're getting yours through a relative! My question should have been directed towards akkiman :)

After looking through shopandship a bit more, I found the charges.

1) 45 USD one-time registration fee

2) 10 USD (for the first half kilo, then 8 USD for every half kilo more) shipping fee.

The shipping fee is extremely reasonable. What I'm concerned about though, is how they ship it. Standard US/UK post, or some courier service? Because if it is standard US (and maybe even UK, not sure) post, I've heard that the phone can be stuck in customs for weeks together. I couldn't find customs duty charges anywhere either. Anyone care to shed some light on this? :)
[Nexus 4 General] shadowkay:
Yea 9GBP shipping is within UK. And yes am getting mine through a friend, whos coming at the end of this month :)

You will have to find someone who can bring it for you or look for some third party shipping services like you had mentioned shopandship.com. Good luck!

ebay.in nexus 4 price increased

ebay.in seller cart2indian2010 has increased nexus 4 the price to 30k( Are you kidding me ??) :crying::crying::crying::crying:

:crying::crying::crying::crying: :crying::crying::crying::crying:

If the prices in Ebay are so high i wonder what prices it will be available through Lg with warranty :confused::crying:

all those saying that it is a affordable and value for money phone , its not atleast not in coutries which donot have play store like INDIA

:crying::crying::crying::crying: :crying::crying::crying::crying:
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
OMG! Just yesterday he had increased the price by 1k. Now he's increased it further by 1.5?! Damn!
[Nexus 4 General] ashish2199:
my thoughts on Nexus 4

:crying:

Seeing the huge demand of this phone worldwide I dont think Lg will launch this Phone below 30K

if it does i dont think 16GB non expandable phone is worth buying for 30K what are your thoughts .

there could also be a chance that LG might not launch this phone in india seeing the huge worldwide demand

I still dont understand/know why companies sell products costly in India ?? they think india as a place where they can dispose off thier old products at same or even higher prices .I also get annoyed by people buying samsung phones only because it says 'Samsung' (i am not talking of s3,i am talking of the phones below 20k ONLY THE TOP MODELS OF SAMSUNG ARE WORTH BUYING)
[Nexus 4 General] Dragooon123:
I've placed my order with the american bazaar last week, unfortunately the darn phone went out of stock before he could grab it but I believe this is the best way for me to get the phone without breaking the bank more than it needs to be.
[Nexus 4 General] rubenswing:
oi ... he's not advertising, just helping out by recommending... :laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] akkiman:
An update. I haven't received any email regarding the shipping details yet.

I guess it might be cancelled now :(

Anyone having the same trouble?
[Nexus 4 General] Umang Sardesai:
I still have one doubt..:confused:

How come GOOGLE being the world's busiest site face server crashes...

Either they underestimated the response..(which is actually immature and improbable since they were launching a Nexus device at a subsidized rate :p ) or it is some kind of marketing strategy..:mad:

Whatever the reason i hope " the phone will be available again in weeks " tag doesn't ACTUALLY TAKE WEEKS ...:p and comes as soon as possible.

And lets hope they come in with a much better stock this time with better traffic handling capability..(does anybody have to tell Google that ;))

And BTW ANYBODY who has ordered the device , received their order yet...???

Need a Quick Review ASAP ..>!!!:laugh:
[Nexus 4 General] Dragooon123:
Its not like all of their servers run all of their sites. The play store division probably miscalculated and got screwed.
[Nexus 4 General] lovesingh25:
Had anybody ordered via Americanbazar ?
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Out of both requests i.e. cancellation of refund and putting refund on hold, which one has the grace period of 5 days after which the refund gets initiated automatically?
[Nexus 4 General] underlord1:
Help :)

I have a relative in the USA. which is a better idea :

1. shipping through services like HSG,borderlinx ,etc.

or

2. relative courier it to me .

which is cheaper ?
[Nexus 4 General] amba55555:
don't have to think much

you are so lucky that have relative in USA, and that is the BEST way!
[Nexus 4 General] Sathish kumar:
As per my knowledge, putting refund on hold has grace period of 5 days and when you cancel the refund money ll be sent to cart2india, from then dealing is btw you and cart2india;)
[Nexus 4 General] yasirimteyaz:
You may check on DHL/Fedex US website that how much they would charge you. (check for custom duty too)

With shipping services line Borderlinx/HSG, it's costing around 40-50$.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
Not really. Its not that his relatives are coming to India with his phone. he will have to ship it, none the less. I think by shipping via a relative he will only save max approx $15 ( my estimate, could be wrong). It doesn't make a difference to m personally.:cyclops:

UPDATE

--------

update my Dec 8 order changed to Dec 10 and is now pending! lets hope something happens
[Nexus 4 General] underlord1:
thanks !:cyclops:

---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

If thats the case , i might as well go for forwarding services. If the n4 gets delivered at US before jan 10th then i can get it by hand from relatives as one of them are coming. if i get it later then have to go for courier. I know, with so much demand i cant expect the phone any soon. >>Confused <<:confused::confused:
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
That's good.. lets see if you get a shipping mail today.. :D
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
OK let me increase you level of confusion much more. :cool: some people who ordered on DEC 5 and afterward got there devices shipped in less than 2 days, even though they were given a 5-6-7 week estimate!!

why dont you see DHL website and calculate shipping cost on your own? Self help is a good thing
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Well, I am in a similar situation as you. I checked the courier service like FedEx and they seem to be charging 100$+. Do let me know if you find any good and relatively cheap courier option :)
[Nexus 4 General] yasirimteyaz:
I was also in the same boat. My friend is doing Phd. in US and was ready to ship the device.

But when I inquired about shipping charges on DHL/Fedex, it was too high. Plus, there might be custom hassles.

So, I decided to go with package forwarding as dealing with custom clearance is part of their business.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
I really dont want to get my hopes up! but I see that those miracle shipping emails happened sometime in the dead of the Night(US Time). So with LOW hopes, lets hope google gives me the email before midnight India Time.:fingers-crossed:

Just placed my order of 2 phones through SnS. :)

Anyways thanks for the helps bros. :good:

Also my citi credit card was immeditaly charged

775.18 USD was spent on your Credit Card XXXXXXXX on 10-DEC-12 at GOOGLE *Devices.Final FX rates and charges are applicable.

I remember reading they just block the amount and do not charge until its shipped? :confused:
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
Great!! Yes, you are correct, they won't charge. Even though I got a message from my CC provider about the 382$ charge, no amount has actually been deducted from my account.
[Nexus 4 General] yasirimteyaz:
The charge that you see is for amount being blocked. The SMS you receive is for authorization only. For all credit card txn, the merchant charges it after some time.

Pls login to net-banking and check the card details. The amount would be appearing under Outstanding Authorization amount.
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
the wait.

Thanks bro! I'll start waiting :angel: .
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Great that your order went to pending directly without going to pre ordered in play store as Google received your order.

Now 2nd thin that your card got charged is just an information for you that it got authorized but it's on hold, it will be deducted once you get the shipping mail.
[Nexus 4 General] yogeshmha:
you cancelled your order?

---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

do nothing for 5 days after ur extension date expires...ur refund will initiate
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
Oh, i though pre-order is a state after pending :confused:

Also, the pending is what i see when i check the order status in google wallet right after i click on transactions. I've attached the screen shot also.

what does it mean that its pending or pre ordered?

Thanks,

Kaushik
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Pre-Order usually means we have made a note of your order but it's not yet in our queue.

Pending means we have put your order in our queue and have an estimate for delivery of your device.

if thats the case , then its even worse, never go for exynos, snapdragon s4 pro and adreno 320 of nexus are way better, s4 pro is almost comparable to snapdragon 600. exynos will have probs getting custom roms also in addition to inferior performance. even in the case of galaxy s3, the snapdragon model will be prefered

Well i do not think that is an honest assessment. Battery life may not be as good as the flagship phones like samsung galaxy s3 or s4 but it is certainly not bad. 4 to 5 hours screen on time in 24 hours time span is not bad. About the screen it is certainly not as good as amoled i agree and colours are a little washed out compared to other phones but those phones are much more expensive. At this price this is the best screen you can get it is incredibly sharp and if you like natural colors you won't mind it. Phone gets hot while using but you can still hold it I have a case on it though.

NO, it is available right now at ebay india for 16k, so when it officially launches, its pegged at around 15k max, in that case, it would be available below 14 k ( not counting discounts ). Nexus is above 20k, and seeing that how quickly moto is getting updates and moto being now a google company, this almost runs stock android, hence a good buy
