Anything u ship into MH attracts octroi. Keep sending stuff to my Mumbai office. The receipt is just a hap hazard print out on the poorest quality paper. Haven't really seen whose name it is in.
[Nexus 4 General] aditya.bgs:
PPOBox :(

My shipment reached to mumbai customs on Saturday only and till now they didnt dispached my order to my address, just had a chat with one of the ppobox guys, he is saying ur package will be shipped within next 24 hours, dont know why they are taking this much time. and the way they were talking, i sensed something wrong (like trying to hide something), i hope everything is going fine.. Finger Crossed!!

Desperately waiting for my BlueDart tracking number..
[Nexus 4 General] athani:
Yes. For 16GB. I paid the octroi. Next time I'll ask for the receipt.

BTW, when shipping through SNS, I've never had to pay octroi.
[Nexus 4 General] vaibkulk:
Yup I am using for than 2 yrs now currently on jelly bean on my O1. And now eagerly waiting for my Nexus 4

Still a preorder

I ordered one qty of 16GB on 29th january, and i have read many member stating that there order has been shipped , those members stated that they purchased it on 30th, but my order status still shows preordered.

Can anyone explain what might be the root cause of it?

(I used HSG Address and Icici bank cc to place the order)
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
Random service

Google seems to processing orders somewhat randomly. It's ok, wait a few more days to see if the status changes. In some cases there were gaps between when the order was placed and when they started processing, too. Me, I'm more worried about the second charge on debit cards (I don't have the extra balance or an alternate CC).
[Nexus 4 General] ritwaj:
is a paypal a/c compulsory for ppobox??
[Nexus 4 General] dreamerAxe:
RE : PPO Box

I am in the same boat. Hoping to get it soon.

I dont think a PayPal account is necessary for PPOBox.

Its the same with me. My package arrived mumbai customs on 2nd. till now have not shipped to my place

[Nexus 4 General] harshshah0589:
How many people have faced this issue of double charge on debit card till now ?

I'm also in the same boat as I dont have extra balance in my account.

In case if the second charge fails during shipping by google, and if i immediately add another CC will my order ship on time ? Or will it be considered as new order ?
[Nexus 4 General] mannu_in:
When the second charge fails, google will ask you to update the payment information in that order only and once the charge goes through from the newly added card, Google will process the order. It will not be considered as new order.
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
That seems about right. Once when I tried to pay for a Humble Bundle using my Canara Bank debit card through Google Wallet, the payment naturally failed. Google held the order on hold until I added my CitiBank debit card and paid. The order number didn't change, atleast.
[Nexus 4 General] amitkalani1:
comG

thanks for the wonderful advice... i think i will be going with comGateway....i m using central bank of india debit card...i read there is some double amount deduction...so i will ensure enough amount is there in my account...any other caution guys while using indian debit card?

how much will comG cost in all? (i m from maharashtra so octroi as well)
[Nexus 4 General] harshshah0589:
So the order number remains the same ... that's alright, but what about the phone in stock ?

What I mean to ask is that when I ordered on 1st Feb the shipping time was 1-2 and now the waiting time for 8GB is 2-3 weeks. So, will google hold on to the phone assigned to me to wait for me to enter new CC in google wallet and ship me that phone immediately ? Or will I again be in queue for 2-3 weeks ?? :(

First N4 uses micro sim not mini sim. Secondly the normal Sims available in India are called mini Sims.

You can either go to you carrier and get a micro sim or get it cut at local mobile shop. There are sim cutters available on eBay for about 150

Google not shipped yet | Are we missing something after booking?

Reading all your comments made me wonder are we missing something after ordering for google to take so much time to process????

I have sufficient credit so that is not a problem....

Like do we have to call up the indian credit card people and authorization the credit blocked by google at the time of booking???

People who successfully got it shipped can you let us know if you guys did anything else after booking other than waiting????

No, standard Indian SIMs are mini-SIM. You can cut a mini SIM into a micro SIM. Here's a tutorial:

Otherwise, you can walk into your operator's (Vodafone, Airtel etc.) store with some documents (ID proof, Address proof, Photo etc.) and they'll provide you with a micro SIM for some 25 bucks or so.

I placed an order on the 30th of Jan . It still shows pending. So i thought let me call Google customer care and what a harrowing time i had on an international long distance call! The only question i had for her " what is the estimate time when you may ship the product?" . the answer " when you placed the order what message did you get as estimated date of shipping " . i said " 1-2 weeks". Prompt reply of the other end " Well then thats the estimated time when you will get your product?" .

Jai Google !!!

Hey rodeo bro.....can u upload some more pics?? It would be a morale boosting sight for us!!
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
Well its tricky one... She should try to convince the custom guys that all those are gifts to her relatives & many friends... If nothing works she may have to pay the customs for all of it... I say just ask her to bring & pay her the 2-3k customs fee... Even so, u would get the device for really great price... Shipping costs can be avoided & also it would be cheaper than any devices sold in market as people will try to make profit of atleast 5-10k for it...

Look it on the bright side... If she somehow convince custom guys & bring it to u... U would be luckiest man on Earth... :good: :)
[Nexus 4 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Can she put devices in carrybag without box? without box will they consider it ?

I will try what you said about paying customs but that will be last remedy but before that looking for best way to avoid it,

Can anyone tell me how they calculates it ?

she already bought one DSLR cam of 30K & nexus 7 for his brother ..not for me yet :crying: i will ship from my side :silly: he told me she also going to shop so it means she coming here with lots of electronic stuff then why not my devices ..:rolleyes: i have no clue what to do

& also tell me what is considering goods value as a gift & make there value to lowesst value ? how its done?
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
As u say she coming with lots of electronics would be a risk in customs... So, If u don't really care about the box, u can ask her to just put accessories (charger, microUsb cable & sim card tray... no earphones included) in her purse & say that the device is her own & nobody will ask a thing... u can carry 2-3 phones... say one is for office use & one for personal...
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
1 camera and 1 laptop are allowed duty-free. She can also carry 2 phones without any problem, as long as the box is not around (making it seem like it's a regular daily use phone). 2 tablets along with all of these would definitely arise suspicions though.
[Nexus 4 General] H4CK_H0PP3R:
Means suppose she comes with 2 Tabs without box + 2 cellphone without box [1 her own +1 my new nexus 4] + 1 camera [new]= no cost ??

Charges will occur only if limit exceeds right described by customs?

Also tell me about box thing ? if i am in limited stuff which i mentioned above then even tab & phone with box will NOT be chargeble?

badly confused :confused::eek:
[Nexus 4 General] Mohit12:
If anyone is wondering about the LTE on the Nexus 4 thread created here, here's a bit of information :

India already has 4G and will use it on a much larger scale in just a few months.

Airtel already provides 4G in Kolkata, Bangalore and Pune. It's due to come to Mumbai and Delhi by around April or so.

However, the LTE on the Nexus 4 works only on band 4 of FDD on a 2100 MHz spectrum (I think) whereas India, i.e all the service providers, will provide LTE on the 2300 MHz spectrum using TDD, not FDD. India is probably the only country who is using TDD. All the European countries, along with USA and Canada use FDD. So despite several software modifications on the phone with the help of developers here, the chances of using LTE are very bleak.

Also, off topic, 4G is set to be much cheaper than 3G. Infotel (basically Reliance. Mukesh Ambani bought them over) has a pan India 4G licence and they're planning to market 4G at an astonishing rate of Rs. 10/GB which will probably be the cheapest in the world.

India has chosen LTE-TDD on 2300MHz band, while US and European cellular players are opted LTE-FDD on 1800MHz in majority basis as per report by GSA. So ecosystem of LTE-FDD on 1800MHz is stronger than any other LTE ecosystem.
