Yes man same for me one is stuck since yesterday and one is with yours since 2 pm. Does DHL deliver on Saturdays? If they do then again it would be a prob for me as i have given my office address for delivery. They don't allow change of address unless the shipper requests them to nor they would call you when they are at your address. I expected a better service from DHL on these fronts.

Sending packages to hopshopgo etc. from a relative's house?

Hi All,

To those who ordered Nexus 4 and shipped it a friend's/relative's place and have succesfully now shipped it to India via forwarding services like hopshopgo :

What were the charges you had to incur for shipping to the hopshopgo or other service's address? Which service did you use for this purpose.

I just checked USPS charges and the with insurance one is 25$+ and I still am not sure whether it would be worth the risk and wanted to know the estimated delay. [Nearly 2000 miles to ship to hopshopgo!! ]

EDIT: I guess there might be cheaper but still reliable options available? Anything lesser than 10$ would be welcome. [ Preferably not more than 8 ; I also have another additional device, battery charger pack which is another 300gms to be shipped. ]
[Nexus 4 General] veerendram1:
With the free shipping offer till 31st December on hopshopgo, I was charged only 5.73$ n that too when I had 2 packages (ordered some covers for my iPhone as well)..after landing in India, DHL charged INR 946 including customs, handling charges etc...for me hopshopgo has been a fabulous experience...in total my phone cost me INR 21450 at the asdumed exchange rate of Rs. 55.50 to a dollar..hope this helped...

Want to change the shipping address of Ordered Nexus 4

Hi,

I had ordered the Google Neuxs 4 with the shipping address of Borderlinx, but now i think PPOBOX is better and cheaper compared to Borderlinx..

I changed my billing and home address to PPOBOX address to the change is not reflected my Google Wallet Transaction of LG Nexus.

It is still showing me Borderlinx address.

Can i change the address over there??

Help me!!.

Also give ur your suggestion over which shipping service is better PPOBOX or Borderlinx..

Nothing is sure as only Nexus 7 is released of ALL NEXUS devices. It got released just was cos of Asus. Rumor is that it'll be released around January end 2013 price ranging around 25k to 35k. I suggest get it imported thru Borderlinx, PPOBOX or HopShopGo.

Has anyone got it delivered to Noida. Apparently there is some Form 38 for road permit that DHL requires to ship to Uttar Pradesh from Delhi.

For this we have to go to Sales Tax office and get this done and then provide them with Form 38. This is absolutely ridiculous.
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Why?
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
Form 38 are issued to registered companies in noida who import goods from other states. tell DHL that. They are not issued for personal use or if the amount of good is less than 25k.

[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
Man i have been touch with them continuously since the morning and they are not ready to change the shipping address on our request nor they are ready for self pick up even from Delhi without Form 38/39.

There are only two options:

1) Either get the form 38/39 part done or 2) Ask HOPSHOPGO to change the delivery address to some address in Delhi where these forms are not required.

It has been a pain since the morning. Screw DHL they have very rigid rules.
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
It should actually be 'Screw UP government for unnecessary rules'. They are asserting you for Form 38/39 because they have to submit the same to UP Govt.
[Nexus 4 General] Dragooon123:
Never used DHL, I just use FedEx and they are pretty lenient about this.
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
I know you may have asked them this but still.

tell them you have proof of address that YOU live at the delivery address.

Tell them you ARE calling from the phone number registered as receiver.

give them all the proof they want so they can let you do a pick up yourself.

Hi,

Can anyone of you tell me how much would be the cost to get it delivered directly from US(say i friends receives and sends it) and how much would be the cost if i get it delivered using hopshopgo/ppobox?

I have one being delivered to a friends address but now he is coming to India on Monday and don't think it will ship by then so thinking should i ask someone to ship it from there or use hopshopgo/ppobox by changing the address.

[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
DHL sucks

**** them because they are not at all cooperative. No call back or email is arranged from them on any update. I had to call them up like 100 times today to get the issue sorted. I have asked HOPSHOPGO to change the shipping address to New Delhi. There is absolutely no other option for delivery in Noida. Form 39 requires signature of the shipper with stamp. **** UP Government and **** DHL.

---------- Post added at 07:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

I should say screw both because DHL does not allow self pickups or change of address without shipper's authorization. This is absolutely rubbish no matter how hard i tried to persuade them to allow me to pick it up from their Delhi facility or get the address changes, they did not budge from their stand. I was ready to produce all the valid photo ids, proofs anything but they only wanted the ****ing Form 39.

Besides they do not update you with anything like if they received the authorization from HOSHOPGO for change of address and things like that. I had to call them literally more than 100 times today and mail like 15 times. So screw both.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
@ritwaj,

After reading the OP, please note that till Dec 31'st , you can use a promo code "PPLNOV10" which will give you free shipping for 1st 1 KG. [only shipping, i think additional customs plus some <10 bucks you would have to pay ]

Also, please ensure that you have communicated to the hopshopgo team to clearly declare the Nexus 4 under phone [ there is a huge diff of customs duty of 28.8% vs 2.06% for phones, and one of our unfortunate friends here had to pay some 1500+ for the customs bcoz of this, if I remember correctly]

Also, please let me know how are you are planning to ship? I am in a smwht similar situation to yours. The domestic shipping rates seem to be high?

That sucks :(.. I am also planning to ship via hopshopgo.. Though I fortunately live in Bangalore, this make me quite apprehensive.

Hope your issues get resolved and you get N4 soon :)

Guys. In case anyone know about this, please reply :)

BTW how do you get shipper's signature on Form 39. You could help us if you have an idea...Is there some easy way out to get the form 39 ready?
[Nexus 4 General] rubenswing:
u can fill form 38/39 thru 2 ways, one of which is painful and the other which is easier. I had opted for the 2 way and it costed me 2500/- I gave the money to sales tax lawyer and he got the form filled and duly stamped for me. I sent it the 2 copies to fedex in mumbai and my package will be reaching me tomorrow as per tracking in fedex site... the other way is go and collect the form from the commercial tax office and fill it on ur own and get it signed and stamped and then courier the form to the respective co..... I had done this a week before and the logistics were more than happy to receive it before even the shipment came to them

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

u do not need to get the shippers sig. there are 3 copies one for u and two for the courier co. out of which one they give to the customs and one they keep, get it signed and courier the documents to the logistics co... on receipt of the docs. they will acknowledge it and then ship ur consignment to u
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
The form 39 also requires the signature and stamp of the shipper. How did you get that part done?
[Nexus 4 General] rubenswing:
for me the shippers were Fedex as they were the ones who were to ship, to me the consignment....obviously google will not sign Form 39
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
Form 39 is a rear deal. I get form 38 issued online ...but for that you have to get registered with noida sales tax ... TIN number etc..so the usual bribe and stuff had to be done before I activated my online profile.

Therefore my explanation is useless here in your case.

I really suggest contact hopshopgo and ask them to allow for a self pickup. This is the only option you got.
