Hello ppl I think I Hv a prob here :(

HSG has not sent any mail nor my order is reflected in my account.. despite it has reached thm on 13th ..& then being weekend.. so still nothing!!

Anyone faced a similar situation at HSG/ComGw or this much delay in pckg updating!:rolleyes::mad::rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 General] Murukesh:
Nonsense. I ordered using a Citibank debit card and the phone was with HSG on the 5th day.

Paid for hsg with PayPal and the conversion rate of PayPal was higher than that of MasterCard. 1730 vs 1670, I think.

In any case if the verification fails or order gets cancelled, how quickly will google refund ?

Oh Man..I have still not got it...still waiting for the OTA notification to pop up.:( What about the rest of you guys?...not talking about side loading it manually...i'm asking about the OTA notification...did you get it?
[Nexus 4 General] D3LeT3:
I know. I did the same. As in I followed the instructions to the dot. But I still had a problem with wallet. I must've registered earlier wit my Indian address long before the nexus came along, cause my Google wallet had set my default shipping address. (NOT the billing address of my Linked CC.the payment address was the US one) as the Indian address.

So its better to check everything early on. Cause Google's really paranoid about incorrect order information.
[Nexus 4 General] sumy08:
I provided them with a US billing address for my Indian CC, i have got 2 bullets, is it a possibility that it will fail in verification ?

I am a bit worried now.

same is the case with me....waiting for update to pop up
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
The max time taken for address verification is 3 days. Mostly it happens within first 6 hours of placing an order.

Most Indian international CC's don't have address verification so they work just fine. It's mostly the debit cards that

fail.
[Nexus 4 General] sumy08:
Thanks, that's a bit of relief, hope it gets shipped soon...
[Nexus 4 General] IndDoc:
My debit card address is indian, while the shipping address is American! How is it possible, what you're saying!

---------- Post added at 06:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:22 AM ----------

Address verification as in? The shipping address should be the same as the address on my debit card? That's literally impossible, because one is indian, other is American.
[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Not shipping, the billing address is verified if the bank/card allows. The billing address should be same as the address you have on file at the bank.

Experience on this thread says most Indian CC's don't allow this and work just fine. There have been issues with couple of debit cards which

allow this check and obviously fail.
[Nexus 4 General] abhishekoza:
I dont think octroi has anything to do to with PPOBOX. If you are in Pune or some parts of mumbai, you will have to pay octroi which will be around 1200. I am looking to get it delivered in Navi Mumbai as I have heard octroi doesnt apply there.
[Nexus 4 General] IndDoc:
And assuming that it does fail, any idea when am I supposed to be notified about it? I have had 2 bullet points since the 11th, and no movement since. Used an Axis Bank debit card. Now I'm really worried.

EDIT - In the OP it is said that both the shipping and billing address have to be same even if I'm using an indian CC/DC. Any idea if this is wrong advice?

When did you get the second bullet point?
[Nexus 4 General] sarthakkapoor25:
Hey,i have read that LG is repairing the sceen in india.What about the glass back??will it be repaired??

And regarding ishopinternational.Is it legit and safe??Well problem i have with ppobox is that insurance is only 200$.And with hsg u get an open box.I have some doubts about it.I got a quote from ishopinternaional.here it is

Total all-inclusive cost of item for delivery to India based on current exchange ****rates will be:

Rs. 23,479

Item price, local shipping, taxes: Rs. 21,450

International Shipping: Rs. 770

Duty, Taxes, & Fees: Rs. 1,759

- DISCOUNT - Rs. 500

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TOTAL Rs. 23,479

I dont mind paying a few extra bucks for safety.+closed box.And this is my first purchase from US so a bit nervous.Is it a good deal??
[Nexus 4 General] IndDoc:
Well PPOBox is the best, according to people on this thread. The total cost via PPOBox will be the same as above. No one has had any issues with PPOBox, so insurance shouldn't be an issue.

I am using comgateway, as it is the cheapest :cool:

I ordered on the 9th, second bullet on 11th. Shipping estimate 1st March. From what I have gathered, the order usually ships within 7-10 days of the second bullet point. So you should be ok. The second bullet point occurs after your order is verified, according to people on this thread and elsewhere.
[Nexus 4 General] sagarmangla:
Ordered on the 12th got second bullet point on 16th.

Hope it ships out this week.

[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Shipping has nothing to do with second bullet point. The second bullet point comes up usually when Google puts a hold on card.

I ordered when play store opened the second time and the 2nd bullet appeared as soon as I ordered on 1st Dec 2012.

However my phone was shipped on 29th Dec 2012.
[Nexus 4 General] sarthakkapoor25:
People use ppobox for quick delivery.However a guy lost his 2 phones in shipment and was only insured for 200$.This gives me creeps.:/..comgateway is a bit cheap but u get an open box which is uncomfortable for me.Although ishop has a long waiting time but its most safe and convenient.

Is LG india repairing damaged back??Someone said that they do repair the screen.
[Nexus 4 General] D3LeT3:
Check your Google Addresses.

There seems to be a lot of confusion here. Let me try and clarify what I mean as best I can.

There are 3 places you'll need to check your address for consistency.

1. Google Play - While ordering your Nexus device, You're asked to enter your US shipping address which should be same as the Card billing address mentioned in the next point.

2. Google

Wallet: Payment Methods

- The card you used for payment needs to be linked here along with your US address.

3. Google

Wallet: Settings->General->Home Address

- The address here is what I overlooked, Google wallet set my Indian Address here as default as I'd linked the card a long time back. My US address was present in the 'Address Book' in wallet but Indian address was set as default. So i just changed default to the US address and deleted my Indian address.

Make sure the last point is also addressed as the first two are mentioned in the OP but the last one maybe skipped by someone who's used Wallet before.

So i mailed them a long story, they said we'll ask a specialist to look at the case.. i gave them a long story bout everything.. i checked the addresses in my wallet account.. now i have to wait for 2 days.. lets see.. its kinda bugging me now..
[Nexus 4 General] AayushDhuria:
I placed an order on 16th and I was charged right away. But my Google wallet says this.

Your order has been sent to Google Inc..

Feb 16*You placed an order with Google Inc. on Feb 16. Google Wallet sent a copy of this receipt to aa___________@gmail.com

While if I check American thread, they got two bullets right away.

#ImpatientScaredAsshole xD
[Nexus 4 General] IndDoc:
Google put a hold on my debit card straight away. I got notified by my bank about that. Yet, the second point came one day later. Dunno man, I was just quoting previous posters' experience on this. Since yours was one of the early orders, that may be the reason behind this huge delay. Right now, if you see the order history of the second batch of orders, the orders are usually shipped within 10 days of second bullet point. Don't take my word for it, this is just an observation.
[Nexus 4 General] sarthakkapoor25:
Does ishopinternational provide a sealed box??
[Nexus 4 General] IndDoc:
Perfect. Thanks for clarifying this.
[Nexus 4 General] Rekursion:
Yeah, going by the feedback of all the users who used PPObox, it sounds like the one with the minimum hassles.

Btw, what should I put in the "TOTAL Item Value $USD"?? 349$ or the amount including the taxes of NY?

Spare Nexus 4 8GB

Hey Guys,

I'm not trying to make a sale here, I'm just trying to help out guys who have difficulties in getting a Nexus phone from US. I have a spare Nexus 4 8GB which i received on Feb 15th. I ended up actually ordering two phones and when I tried to cancel one, I couldn't and ended up getting both the phones. I don't want to be unreasonable and cruel. I am giving it away for the price it cost me. So PM me if you are interested.

NOTE: Bangalore ONLY!!!

Box opened for customs check. Everything intact and sealed.

Delhi customs are charging about 1600-1700 bucks (including FedEx/ DHL handling fees).

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:44 PM ----------

Clarifying regarding the shipping & billing addresses, both MUST be US addresses, but need not be same. And since the only verification Google does is whether it's an US address, you can safely put your US shipping address as US billing address without any worries.

And after you receive your device, the entire play store will be open to you within a few days, even without using an US proxy! So next time you can buy songs from Google Music or your next Nexus directly from the Play Store without going through IP tunneling :D
[Nexus 4 General] zubin111:
Inform google, get an RMA, they will open a case, call lg centre in texas, they will require to send the phone there, they will charge $140 for replacing the screen and then send back (not to India, but any address that you want like PPO) and get it back paying shipping and customs.. :crying: . .

i read somewhere in the forum, that in india they replace screen, but i called them up and atleast in mumbai they dont repair.... so not sure....

Hey Guys,

This is my first post on XDA. Need some assistance from you guys.

I ordered Nexus 4 16GB on 12th from play store when it said 2-3 Weeks. It has been 6 days till now and my order is still pending. I haven't even got the second bullet point. I purchased using HDFC mastercard credit card. Amount was credit immediately from my card. I even got a notification from the bank.

Is there any problem with my order? Why I didn't got the 2nd bullet till now?
[Nexus 4 General] akhz99:
I am on the same boat as you are ordered on 12th.. bank has approved the payment.. no second bullet.. just call google once.. or u can wait 1 more day say till wed morning.
[Nexus 4 General] sunnygupta:
I called Google, This is the reply I got from them-

Still I think something is wrong. Why didn't second bullet point not appeared? People who order after me, some received the tracking numbers also.
[Nexus 4 General] vikasverma:
Dont worry Sunny...I got second point after 16 days....so you need not to worry...rest information you can get from my signature...You just need to follow up with the support team. Call them, mail them....I know its frustrating...but no other go.....All the best buddy!!!

Urgent help regarding a vcc

Hey guys, I ordered a nexus 4 16gb today from Google Play Store (Using PPOBOX). I used a hdfc virtual credit card and the order went through without any hassle. I got an order no. from them but no tracking id.

When will i get my tracking id?

I got an email stating "Your order has been placed and you will be charged after shipping".

I read somewhere that a VCC doesnt work, but my order went through smoothly. Are there any chances of my order getting cancelled or the transaction is complete? I havent been charged yet, but i really hope the order doesnt get cancelled. Has anyone else used a VCC. Please help. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 4 General] dreamerAxe:
If n when your order goes through, the second part of your order number, the one after the dot will be your tracking Id with UPS. Hope you get your device soon. Can't comment on the vcc thing since I have no idea.

yes.

i got my tracking id after 2 days.

just after confirming purchase the card became unusable. the fund was put on hold. u can check it if u login to netsafe and click on all transactions. if your shows there as card in use and vendor as google devices you r good to go. also charged amount will be shown as 0. it takes more than 10 days to show the exact transaction amount

hope this helps
[Nexus 4 General] renjithis:
I had 1st ordered using EntroPay VCC on 30th Jan, the order got through, but on 4th Feb, I got 2 mails - 1 from play store and other from wallet - saying that the order was cancelled and my wallet account was temporarily suspended :crying: :crying: . Then I asked a friend in US to place the order and put the shipping address of HopShopGo. Google shipped it after 5 days :laugh: :good:

The device is awating customs clearence at Chennai airport. :fingers-crossed:

This is my experience, people have reported success with HDFC Netsafe VCC though.

I have used EntroPay VCC with my home address 5 times to buy android apps with no problem at all. I guess for high value transactions they verify the address of the credit card. The only explanation i can come up with indian CC and HDFC Netsafe VCC having success is that google is not able to get the actual address, so they cannot say that the address is wrong (innocent until proven guilty) **speculating**.
[Nexus 4 General] ckranjan:
entropay fails because the card is not in your name. its "entropay user" and you would have put your name in billing address. and not because of address verification. for apps google doesnt verify anything, so it works.

[Nexus 4 General] speed_edge:
Got My Nexus 4 finally

Guys,

Thank you very much to all of you on being with me on my journey to get Nexus4, Guiding and responding with patience for even a silly queries. Really thankful to all of you. Finlay the day come when I have Nexus with me and I'm loving this beauty. So thank you very much to all of you. It is literally impossible to hit Thank button for all of you so pardon me for that :)

So Here is the details

Forward service : Comgateway, Why? Below is the thought process.

- Address belongs to tax free zone

- Simple, No need of paypal or any other kind of verification. As many said it is same as HSG but I like this one as this offers freedom. It can accept any damn credit card AFAIK.

- Competitive shipping charges.

- Finally even HSG is powered by comGateway :D

Sequence of events

1) Place an order - 30Jan evening

2) Google baba blessed me with quick Shipping on 2nd Feb

3) Shipment at ComGateway (5th Feb)

4) Paid Shipping charges to Comgateway for Standard Shipping (7th feb)

5) Nexus 4 in my hand 18th Feb

Cost details

1) Device cost + Shipping charges - $363 (Rs 20149/-)

2) Shipping charges to comgateway is around $25 (Rs 1394/-)

3) Customs + other charges to FedEx for Bangalore delivery (Rs 800/-)

4) So total is Rs 22343/-

5) card involve here is ICICIBANK credit card. Never faced any issue anywhere while paying.

Why Standard Shipping :

While browsing through various posts, I got a feel that FedEx does not charge Octroi for whatever reason. I see many posts saying DHL charges Octroi on top of Customs. ComGateway uses FedEx for Standard shipping and DHL for express. I got my Box as is. No opening at Bangalore custom clearance. Bangalore custom charges 460/- + FedEx charges around 300 for Handling fees. I called them up to understand why I charged additional 300 and Answer come as paper work :( . Now I have no idea what is this paperwork is. Anyway it was a small amount and they gave prompt receipt for same. So no issues. BTW FedEx standard shipping is dead slow. They took 12 days to deliver my Shipment. They did not work on weekend looks like.

Overall happy with the process and device.

And yeah, Its absolutely not mandatory to hit thank button. If you like the detail and you think this information help others. Please hit thank :)

Regards
