I dont know how bad is the reputation of daink bhaskar..

But Google has not the given the Nexus 4 to any retailer in any country including USA,UK etc. Only Nexus 7,Nexus 10,Chrome are given to reseller retail channel.

So how saholic (with a very bad reputaion ) will get stock of N4? Flagship eretailers are Flipkart/Snapdeal.are the right vehicle to launch.

No Nexus devices ever have been launched in India..N1/Nexus-S/ Galaxy Nexus..

If some one says Googlestore India is going to accept booking...believable.

Saholic can not buy in bulk also.each Google mail ID at a time is allowed 2 pcs..:cool:

Must be a one- off mate. I shipped 4 phones, a bumper and a charging orb over the last 3 months. Always put only the net price (without taxes, shipping). No issues, never paid anything. May be because I used borderlinx?

i payed with AMEX credit card,

when you add your card at CGW , in payment options do you need to verify,

they said we have deducted any random amount , please verify the amount,

i verified as they initiated a 8$ , but after that a PENDING VERIFICATION is all there,

do i need to use another card, as i have a debit card.

Order cancelled

Hello All,

I have used my HDFC international credit card and the shipping and billing address as provided by comgateway. I got the following message

Google Inc. has cancelled your order. You have not been charged.

This order was likely canceled for one of the following reasons:

Details provided for your credit card do not match those on-file with your financial institution.

The address information provided was incomplete and could not be verified.

To block an attempt to purchase more than the maximum allowable devices

Please visit Google Wallet to verify or update your account information. Be sure that your full billing address is complete and matches those on file with your financial institution or credit card company.

I feel the address with HDFC and the address provided by comgateway is different and hence my order was rejected.

Can anyone let me know where am I going wrong or any one else who faced the same issue?

[Nexus 4 General] lovesingh25:
I ordered on 24 Feb night and got it shipped by 26th feb evening and used sbi cc and had comGateway address on both billing as well as shipping address. Try again by keeping both address as same.
[Nexus 4 General] 'thunder'rocky:
bhai aaj ship hua kya??
[Nexus 4 General] younussm:
Ask ur bro to get the phone by himself that would be the best.if u don't want any forwarding service then ask him to send it directly through FedEx or dhl express but be ready to pay around 6-7k for shipping customs etc .octroi if applicable may be charged extra
[Nexus 4 General] chintan.y.t@gmail.com:
ask someone to bring its the only way,main forwarding,shipping company charges any where from 2,000 to 5,000.

You're being scammed quite simply. 2700 is too freakin much.

I've posted a link to Public Grievance Cell. Take up the matter with them if DHL doesnt sort this out. Call up DHL. Try to request for a supervisor(if they have one). And escalate the matter.

First step: Relax! Google is not the sort of company which will cheat you of your money. You will get your refund.

Second step: Since your Wallet account is suspended, you could order using your friend's Gmail acc.(or contact the Wallet team and ask what the problem is)

Third step: Don't use the same CC! Use your friend's CC.

Fourth step: Reread steps given in this forum.(I know you have, but once more ) and order

Fifth step: ???

Sixth step: Have Nexus 4 in hand!

[Nexus 4 General] atulalvenkar:
Google sells it in 5-6 countries. But outside this, LG is free to launch and at whatever price they deem fit. They have launched it in couple of markets including Phillipinnes and 1-2 European countries which I don't remember as of now. However it's retailing at $600.

Also Nexus S was released in India. I have a friend who has bought it from Hypercity and even claimed warranty for some issue with Samsung.

I don't think devices will come to India via Play in near future. Our rules don't allow foreign corporations to sell stuff online, that's the reason Amazon has not entered India directly and Flipkart is also in some legal trouble as they have foreign investors.

they mailed me custom,octroi chalan.

nothing can be done now,once u pay customs,octroi its a freaking lenghty process to claim just 1000 rs.

we must know that this is india we dont stand a chance against f**king corrupt officials,who think they can do anything.

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:38 PM ----------

it all depend upon the valuation which the customs take.

email your google receipt to hsg before shipping,however i doubt if this will help.

it depends upon luck.

there are only 1 among 100 who is charged like me.

we stay in mumbai so,the valuation diffrence makes a huge difference in octroi,which is toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo high.

Did you get a call from DHL BEFORE the customs valuation? I just got a call in the morning saying that my shipment clearance is on hold because of undervaluation of product. Seems like customs have discovered that the price on Play Store WITH shipping is more than USD 299/349 and are adding the shipping cost to the phone value.

[Nexus 4 General] IndDoc:
No and no. Maybe bleeding edge fully working ROMs with latest android versions for a long time (more than 2 years from now), but nothing else is special about Nexus devices apart from that.
[Nexus 4 General] D3LeT3:
Damn that's so sad. My phone just got delivered an hour back. Impressive that the guy actually delivered so late.I called the helpline 6 times today to make sure i get delivery today.

I'm sorry you had to pay so much man. I guess DHL doesnt wanna cross the customs guys who might end up delaying their shipments more next time and eventually affect DHL reputation of quick deliveries. Maybe that's why they dont argue with the customs guys. But it's still wrong.

Anyways now try to enjoy your phone. :good:

Got an email from PPObox that payment of rupees 1358/- is due for my Nexus 4. I think this means my phone has reached Mumbai.

The payment needs to be done on this site and I'm confused what I should enter in the "Total Amount of payment INR* " field. Is it only the customs OR the MRP of the phone OR MRP+Customs??? Anybody who shipped using PPO, please guide.

Thanks. :good:

Congrats! So you won the race after all huh :cowboy:

Was the box opened for inspection? How much did you pay the DHL guy?
[Nexus 4 General] D3LeT3:
You will be charged Octroi.This is payable to DHL/FedEx or your courier on delivery. Someone mentioned you won't be charged if you live in Hinjewadi cause its an SEZ but I'm sorry I cant confirm this but I wouldnt recommend it either(shipping it to relatives place). For the cost of Rs.850, I want to be able to video tape the entire box opening and verification procedure before signing the delivery sheet. I told the guy I need to videotape for insurance purposes and he was patient. After I was sure nothing was missing or damaged in the box did i stop recording and sign and pay the total due amount of Rs.1633.

Thanks man. And congratulations to the both of us :good: Oh and maybe you reply to this first and become a Senior Member on XDA with your 100th post :cool:

Yes, the box was opened.No damage to phone apart from a small smudge on the scratch guard on back panel where I'm guessing the customs officer lifted the phone to check rest of the contents.No biggie, just wiped if with a cloth and was good as new.

I paid DHL a total of Rs.1633. Break up is :

COUNTER VAILING DUTY 395.74

OCTROI CHARGES 844.00

HANDLING FEE 350.00

SERVICE TAX 12% 42.00

EDUCATION CESS 2.00% 0.84

[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
Yes, you have to pay the octroi. I got the Nexus 4 from HSG and had to pay octroi of Rs. 987 and customs were around Rs 1237. For HSG, Bluedart pays all these charges for you and you have to pay at the time you get your delivery.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

I'm lucky then. I've used HSG in last month and got the phone literally in 4 days. It was shipped on 28th from Portland, OR and got it in my hands on 01 Feb @ around 6 pm. No delays, no extra charges nothing :D
