Rs350 for custom handling charge seems OK. But isn't octroi state specific?

apart from what we have to pay to dhl how much do we have to pay to hopshopgo after 31st dec (after the coupon has expired) O.o
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
^^ than i dont have to worry about that :)

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:16 PM ----------

$21 for standard shipping and $24 for express . This doesn't include insurance and fuel, which is only what I effectively paid after using the coupon. I shipped 2 phones for a grand total of $8 .
[Nexus 4 General] njankit:
Its around $26.
[Nexus 4 General] vikas_toad:
can anyone give me an idea what will be the customs/tax/octroi and other such duties if i get it shipped from usa??

my friend already ordered it and is expecting the nexus 4 in a week..

i live in mumbai.

the reason i am asking is other duty calulation websites are showing varying info right from 2pc to 10 pc.... so i just wanted an estimate.

also can any one suggest any other courier alternatives to get it shipped in india cheap and without the customs paperwork hassles??

hopshopgo seems good but as i said..the order is already placed at my friend's address in USA

thank you

I got the call from cart2india on 14th stating the same thing on call. They say, they will refund the amount as the eBay has already initiated the automatic refund request, & then they will call us individually once they will get the stock in hand.
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Yeah right! By the time they have their stock in hand I'm sure most of us who'd ordered this would already have it in hand via other sources. They're just bluffing, nothing else. Get the refund and forget about them.
[Nexus 4 General] yoshimitsu1234:
Custom duty for phones is 2%

You can choose between ppobox and hopshopgo depending on where your friend stays.

I got my Nexus 4 a couple of weeks back. Friend ordered in US and couriered through USPS. Some advice:

1. Getting someone to carry your phone from US is always the cheapest option.

2. Never use USPS to ship, they have a tie up with India Post for local deliveries which means your phone will definitely get stuck at customs and you will have to bribe. I paid 2.5k to get my phone out.

3. If you are using courier use Aramex Shop and Ship service. My family members have used it in the past and they confirm that it is efficient. The main difference is that they clear your goods with customs and collect the duty from you so no bribes.

The landed cost of my phone was $392 (price of 16gb version with taxes) + $43 + Rs 2500 (bribe to customs).

to use ppobox or hopshopgo... don't i have to ship the phone to them???

Aramex's ShopandShip customer care is very responsive and very helpful. But they take about one week to deliver from US to bangalore, it gets routed via dubai .. still waiting. :angel:

:good: for ShopandShip , but you end up paying $40 extra for the registration and new york tax.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
Plz dont do the begging here. people will reply when they have something to offer. Have Patience Bro.

Now for your question

There are many reason for this your credit card is maxxed out i.e you dont have enough credit limit. or your bank declined to pay maybe because of security reasons. check these things first.

even after this if problem persist do the payment with another card.
[Nexus 4 General] netant:

---------- Post added at 05:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

Why? Any details? Order date, card used reason for cancellation?
[Nexus 4 General] njankit:
Their customer care is good no doubt, but the people sitting in their US office are plain dumb. They will mark your phone as whatever they wish.. (few pages back someone got charged a duty of around 2900 for two phones, they didn't mark his order as cell phone). Last year those people weighed my phone as 10kg and aramex guys were adamant on charging me 4k for it. After some mails to their customer care they agreed that a phone cannot weigh 10kg and charged me for 1kg.

Plus also remember that they offer insurance only upto $200
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
That was Hopshopgo who marked the package as laptop. They also show this marking on their package page too. I dont know how anyone can miss that! They marked mine correctly though.
[Nexus 4 General] kirandanduprolu:
What is an efficient way of getting Nexus 4 shipped including 2 other accessories: bumper and screen protector. I heard they charge highest percentage of the parts being shipped so in this case the accessories(20 odd %) on the entire price of the shipped package. So that would apply even on the phone wouldnt it, so what would be a efficient way of getting all the things without having to pay 20% on customs
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
Hey karanits, Did you get the invoice changed by HOPSHOPGO. I got it changed but as per them the changes have been done at the website level and they have forwarded the request to their US Team to make the actual changes in US also. I found their service to be very very sloppy. They operate from Singapore so the timing of support is absolutely opposite to the working hours in US and at no point they have a direct communication with their US Team due to this. Now I am awaiting a confirmation from them that the US team also implemented the changes. This is bull****. By now working hours in Singapore are over and there is no one to reply and working hours in US would just begin in a few hours but i can't communicate directly with their US Team to confirm the change has been done. Now i will have to wait another night to get this confirmation. Pathetic!!.

How did you get it changed???? Its been 4 days already and my package is just sitting there.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
I didnt knew all this!. I just checked if it was updated on the website. They didnt inform me anything about any other level. The package airway bill is still not updated so i think its not shipped yet.

the followings is what i got as reply from them
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
What they update is only on the website level then they pass the info to the US team to implement the changes on the actual package. What i came to know is that the support teams operate from Singapore as they work according to those times only. There is no support available at the time of US working hours. That is just ridiculous. I'm also thinking to just ship it now. If they change then its good, if not then too it won't be such a big deal as there is one invoice inside the box as well which customs anyways will open.

Ok here it is what i did. On 10th Dec I placed an order from IDBI debit card and it was on hold because of insufficient balance then I got an email on 14th to update my card within 7 days.

so today i added Citi bank credit card which is a master card. And my friend whose card it was recieved an email from his bank that 1$ has been deducted from his account that is the authorisation charge but then My google wallet said

You successfully updated your payment for this order to MASTERCARD xxx-2728.

And then

An attempt to charge $387.79 to MASTERCARD xxx-2728 failed. You must update your payment information within 7 days or your order will be cancelled.

And then after few minutes I recieved an email from google that my order has been canceled.

And Now I cant even change my card to buy the nexus 4 that was on hold.

And I also tried buying a free mp3 [0$] from google store and successfully bought it .

I dont Know what kind of problem is this.

I think they will release in later parts of q1 of 2013 OR The will skip launch to make way for their Optimus G...

BUT I have a strong feeling that they will skip India launch as current situation is a fix for them... Like they have a huge demand from google to sell in play store & they know people are acting crazy about high markup prices... This is where they think its best to skip launch & sell Optimus G as they can keep the price as much as they want & no one can question them...

You won't be able to give few details in New Shipment like Order no etc as you would not have placed your order by that time. But its not a problem as you can update your shipment details later on with My Shipment tab.

I don't know how come you too have same PPO mailbox no. I too have same PPO no and the customer care person was telling me that they are unique for each person. I told them that you too have been given the same no and he checked and told you have a different PPO no which i don't remember right now. Our addresses are different though. But am sure he told you hold a different PPO number.

Any idea of how customs are calculated if I get both Nexus 4 and bumper shipped together
[Nexus 4 General] ambasta:
Hi,

Apologies for the late update. So here's how I got my N4 shipped via PPOBox and these are the exact costs:

My google account has its country set to USA. So I simply used a aws server to act as a socks proxy to connect to play store. Also, register for free at PPOBox to get a PPOBox address. After this point, simply shop at play store. I used a HDFC credit card with PPOBox address for payment. For other banks and cards, ymmv.

My order was shipped on a Thursday and reached PPOBox NY address on Friday. PPOBox NY shipped it to India on the same day and it landed in India on a Saturday. The shipment seemed to remain with customs until Monday evening at which point I got an invoice from PPOBox against payment for shipment. Made the payment within 10 minutes of email.

PPOBox handed over the shipment to Bluedart on Tuesday evening. Bluedart shipped the item to my location on Wednesday evening. The item was delivered to be on Thursday evening.

As for costs:

Phone + Tax + UPS Shipping : $395.21 [ 21448 INR ]

ICC Shipping, Handling & Taxes: 629 INR

Duty & Clearance Fees: 525 INR

Additional Insurance: 224 INR

Sum Total: 22826 INR

Also purchased bumper separately. Prices against two of such items are as:

Bumper x 2: $50.05

ICC Shipping, Handling & Taxes: 1,007

Duty & Clearance Fees: Rs. 393
