I don't think you understood what I was trying to say there. AFAIK, bank a/c details are ONLY required in case of receiving payments AND NOT when you're making payments. :)

For making payments, the CC needs to be verified -- which should be the case for most of us.

Cart2india

Got a cal from cart2india stating its takes more 6-7 weeks time , are you willing to wait for the phone or refund , i said refund :)

now can you ppl suggest me the best way to ship the product from usa to india ? n best delivery shipping.

i am planning to book from google play :) testing my luck :P

so can you please help me with that guys ...which is the best delivery option "PPObox ,hopshopgo.com,comgateway or borderlinx "

when i need to pay the money to these delivery websites after the phone reached them ? so do i need Paypal to pay them ?
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
really dude? this many known issues and we are still ecstatic about this phone? ;):p
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
People who have received please do report if you have any issues in your devices or are they perfectly fine. I'm really worried after seeing so many RMA devices being requested in U.S. What if our unit is faulty? What are the options?
[Nexus 4 General] kaushiknfs:
Ordering from PlayStore

You'll need.

1. a US ip address , a reliable tunnel or proxy software or vpn.

2. a US/ International Credit or debit card with enough balance or credit limit.

3. a US shipping address, a friend, or a frieght forwarder like HopShopGo / SNS / Borderlinx / PPOBox

Price Components

Base price : $350 a piece (fixed)

Tax : $30 a piece (avoidable if your freight provider is in portland, oregon, etc, where there is no tax. example Hopshopgo give you a portland address.)

2 Day shipping: :$13 (fixed)

Fright providers.

HopShopGo - free, requires a paypal account , new account takes a verification time of one week. has a free shipping coupon if delivered within this year.

ShopAndShip , SNS - $10 registration after coupon, verification takes one day. for delivery prices check thier site.

PPobox and borderlinx - they are good, but i dont know.

HopShopGo , if not for the verification time, sounds like a great deal. However i went with SNS because they had a reliable call center and a office in bangalore and paid a heavy price of $10(reg) + $30(tax) for that.

Please read the OP on how to book.

Please read the excel stats on comparison between freight providers and cards.

Please read past discussions which would answer most queries you may get, ask out any that remain.

The promised delivery time is 7 + 1 weeks.which would be your worst case, however you may get lucky if your order gets shipped immediatly, we did try to figure out patterns of te next day delivery, but its just elusive ,random and sheer luck. However be prepared for atleast a month in delivery, will save the frustration.

... and good luck!

nexus 4 pre order

Those of you who got their nexus shipped within few days og ordering did u mark that option about"do u want to link your device with google account"?

my guess is that those who unchecked that option got it delivered early as they delivered unlinked devices which were in stock.

[Nexus 4 General] IllUMINATUz:
The price is increased to 27k.. not fair.. at this rate we can never expect it to be lower than 30k in the coming months..

Talking about carrier subsidy.. I don't think it has any subsidy in the US and the Indian prices are similar to the UK prices and that has always been the trend as far as I have observed.. one thing is that we can wait and bargain it at the local retailers.. they offer it cheap due to competition..
[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
A funny thing I noticed:

In the screenshot karty posted before the price was increased:

Original - Rs. 28,418

And now it has changed to:

Original - Rs. 28,777

SYW - Rs. 27,259

[Nexus 4 General] ed10000:
I wouldn't pay a 15k premium. 5-6k is fine, 15 is WAY too much. On top of that, in the off chance that you receive a defective unit, you're doomed despite having paid nearly twice its cost - warranty doesn't hold good here!

Wait for the official release people...and stop cribbing about the price...u pay for what you get...LG will price it as per their convinience which will include all costs (manufacturing and importing)...
[Nexus 4 General] iamdchosen1:
Exactly! There's no point in crying over a device which hasn't even been officially announced in India..

If it does, it will be launched at a reasonable price!

Even LG knows they are not popular in making their android phones, so launching it at a high rate won't do any good to their product..

Paying around 30k for a phone with no warranty is no good deal!

Is your paypal account verified.

Verification is 3 step: You need to define a purpose of the account

You need to provide PAN card.. and it should be verified by paypal..

And to confirm bank.. Paypal will deposit two small transactions in your account .. You need to put those values there..

[Nexus 4 General] yasirimteyaz:
You can make payment via payal even without adding a card. You can try with VCC/netsafe..

Steps would be:

1) On the Hopshopgo, Proceed with Paypal payment mode.

2) Login to your paypal account.

2) See, if there is any option to pay via credit card.

3) Enter card details and proceed with pay.

Around 1.5 yrs back, I have used VCC with Paypal while purchasing on ebay.com. Not sure, if this still works.

I'm still happy that I cancelled my order with cart2india, and I'll order whenever it's back in stock on Play Store or might get it from here itself when it's launched officially if the price is not too high.

I don't understand what the hell hopshopgo is doing with the packages that they have received.

They categorized my bumper case package as 'Cell Phone' and the volumetric weight of this package as .86 wheres on the other hand Volumetric weight of the Nexus 4 package is only .25.

Now i very well understand the difference between the actual weight and volumetric weight and the formula. So as per the formula this is only possible if Google is shipping the bumper case in 20 inch long package. Simply not possible !!!

Their customer service is pathetic. I wrote a big mail to correct like 5 things but they could understand only 2. WTF?

Anyone else got bumper shipped using hopshopgo. Please let me know what was the volumetric and chargeable weight calculated by them for the bumper case????

Hi, Just an hour back i got my N4 using SNS. After SNS ships the device from New York, a tracking id is created of Aramex Couriers, that tracking id is valid till it delivers to your door in India.Once the device reaches India, it is cleared through customs & delivered at your door. You can track & call Aramex once reaches India. You will receive an email from them to mail the Invoice supporting the Import of the device, i had mailed them the shipping Invoice of Google which mentioned all the charges. You will have to pay all the charges at your door step including Shipping & Customs.

---------- Post added at 06:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

Yes you are right Nexus 4 Bumper case package is more than twice the size of Nexus 4 package and that's why such a high volumetric weight.

As per HOPSHOPGO Repack option is not available for this package so my total weight would be now 1.5 kg including both the package bumper as well as phone. I wonder why Google had to create such a huge box for the bumper. It contains nothing but big air packets apart from the bumper.
