Courier flexibility

Hi Guys, I ordered my Nexus 4 on 19th using my friend's HDFC CC (but put my name on billing info, had no probs surprisingly) and it shipped today (yay!). The question I have is how flexible the courier guys are. I am debating whether to give my office address or my home address to ComGateway. No one else is at home so if it reaches on a weekday when I give home address could cause trouble. Conversely if it reaches on a weekend and I give office address could be a prob again. So what is the DHL/FedEx policy in such cases? Do they call you up and agree to come to whichever place you are currently at? Thanks much for helping out a confused soul!

Guys, Do HSG work on Sat, Sun ?

My Nexus is out for delivery today, so 2m is saturday, just want to know if they will update by 2m or do i have to wait till Monday ?
[Nexus 4 General] IndDoc:
That's exactly what i did. Hope comgateway doesn't screw it up. Fingers crossed. And to the guy above this, ye I looked carefully dude. There's no option to select city.
[Nexus 4 General] rahulmr:
Same here. out for delivery today.. I have sent them mail with all the details.

But I do expect them to update it by saturday and I can pay them on the same day and shipment to happen on monday ..

What if they dont work on saturday and on sundays as well ?
[Nexus 4 General] sumy08:
Yea Hope for the best, even I have sent an email with tracking number, lets wait for update..

Guys who ordered from PPOBOX

This is for the guys who ordered from PPOBox

I Have two questions

1) I did not mention the Unique ID in the google play address. Will this cause a problem for me later on?

2) When do we have to pay PPObox? After they deliver it to me? Or beforehand? if so will credit card work

Thanks in advance:good:
[Nexus 4 General] Rekursion:
1) The customer care guy specifically told me to enter the Unique Id in my address. I think that is how they can identify our package. Just ask the customer care once to be sure.

2) We have to pay PPO when your phone reaches their Mumbai warehouse. After making the payment, the phone is dispatched to your delivery address in India.
[Nexus 4 General] alinaqvi86:
I did the same few days ago, and when i called PPObox guys they told me that work around for this will be that i will have to update tracking id once google ships the phone.

Dont have reply to 2nd part of your query :)

I am going through an issue too... after creating a shipment I am not able to view it under My Shipments Tab :(

Anyways, guy on PPObox told that they will mail me when they receive the package.

TIP- Call number mentioned on the site of PPObox, they are quite helpful:angel:

Guys, at last I got mine here in Dubai, what an awesome phone, is it okay to use without screen protector? Or it is easy to crack? I can arrange scree protector in a week only.
[Nexus 4 General] Maxxxxxxxxxx:

[Nexus 4 General] keyrun8:
Finally received the mail from google that my nexus has been shipped for NY PPOBOX address. :D

I had ordered on 16th.
[Nexus 4 General] Dhiraj:
What is unique id in PPOBox?
[Nexus 4 General] harshag:
PPOBox

Hey guys,

I ordered on 19th, shipped on 21st, out for delivery in NY today. I am using PPOBOx and i am from Bangalore.

Quick Question, Where will my customs get cleared ? Mumbai or Bangalore ? I have given Bangalore shipping address and i heard PPOBox ships to Mumbai ?
[Nexus 4 General] Dhiraj:
In Mumbai.
[Nexus 4 General] harshag:
Oh shucks :( then i have to pay Mumbai customs , which is higher than that of Bangalore ?
[Nexus 4 General] sandeep_008:
No, you don't have to pay higher custom, PPOBOX will take care, anyhow it will be prepaid.
[Nexus 4 General] harshag:
Prepaid how ? I haven't paid them anything yet !

Just got to know that the packaged has been delivered to their NY warehouse ! I thought we had to pay them once it reaches India.
[Nexus 4 General] sandeep_008:
Shortly, You are going to get E mail from PPOBOX regarding pay your dues at http://www.iccworld.com/ppoworld.payments.asp

Stating

CC Shipping, Handling & Taxes

Duty & Clearance Fees

After getting payment, they will deliver your packege
[Nexus 4 General] Rekursion:
Hey, how long after receiving the shipment mail from Google did the UPS showed any details about the package? Is it exactly 24 hours or do they start the delivery before that?
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
Khoob jamega rang jab mil baithenge 3 yaar.....n their nexus 4's :D

3 Nexis on one table, should be a rare sight.
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
I don't think you can change the address now. I have also used HOPSHOPGO and booked one yesterday.

Customs in India would be charged separately and we will have to pay their delivery agent when we receive the device at our address but i don't think it would be much and would be in line with what borderlinx and PPOBOX estimates for duty.

By the way was your card also charged with the whole amount of $362.99 immediately at checkout on Google Play because as per the mail that i received from Google the charges would only be applied once the order is shipped???
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Yes actually I ordered with US CC so same mail..

Hope we get ours without much duty.. :(

:highfive:
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
So was your credit card also charged immediately?
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:
Yes.. "You have successfully updated your payment information for Google Order #8481901576XXXXXX. Google Inc. may now charge and fulfill your order. "
[Nexus 4 General] adil_:
Anyone used international debit card to order nexus4?
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
That seems to be quite different. It seems you were not charged as of now and Google would charge you in future when the order ships. I never received any such message.

I received an SMS that the balance has been deducted. In my case the amount has been charged already and the balance has been deducted.

Now my worry is that would i be charged again when the order ships. So someone who has used indian credit card could please help here and share their experience.
[Nexus 4 General] brar.arsh:

Arshdeep: sure

Ruth: Interim Duty VAT

Ruth: = 0%

Ruth: You will not be charged tax or duty

Arshdeep: ok so if it costs $380 from merchant then only shipping charges will apply?

You ordered the 16GB version? Did you use Portland, OREGON 97230 based address?
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
Yes the same one.
[Nexus 4 General] rachitsaran1987:
this was really helpful ... encouraging to see that they wont charge customs ...

u shud have asked for total shipping cost too ...

can ne1 else who has used these US forwarding services, inform us about the total cost of the phone (phone + sales tax in US, if any + shipping within US + registration on borderlinx / myUS / hoshopgo + shipping from US to India + customs in India, if any)

Also, I need to know if any1 here has used the american bazaar?
[Nexus 4 General] xpress7:
Nope.. I ordered 16GB version on 8th November. Later he asked for extension till Dec 6th. Last week I sent some mails and

he replied, the product is currently out of stock from the manufacturer, so he said he will send another time extension request till 20th Dec. :(

Today I sent a mail to him, I will update if I get any reply from him. :)

Nexus 4 pre-order

Hello guys,

New to the forum, this thread is pretty interesting and helpful and actually made me register

I pre-ordered from cart2india on 8th Nov too, I spoke to customer service guys today and they confirmed that they would ship the phone on 5th Dec from their New Jersey warehouse, and if thats really the case it should reach here within a week from 5th Dec. ( however only a batch on em are shipping apparently, they took around 170 bookings for the 16 GB ones, God knows how many they could grab from play store. ), I am no 7 on their list and its a first come first serve, so fingers crossed lol. I really hope they deliver on time

My cousin is using one since a week in Chicago, and he is already in love, he highly recommends the bumper. not only does it look nice, its grippy and might be a handy saviour.
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
People who bought using indian credit card....any inputs on this?? Was balance deducted from your credit cards as well immediately after you paid on Google Play.
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Well, for me the time extension was taken for 12th December. I too have shot an email to them today. Let's see what they say.

Good to hear this. So they must have got hold of some stock. I had ordered when the list was around 60 - 70 or so, don't remember the exact number. Keeping my fingers crossed too! If they delay it to January I'll probably cancel the order and wait for the official launch.
[Nexus 4 General] rashidqansari:
I hope so too, as a back up plan you can use hotspotshield vpn to buy from play store, and route it through borderlinx ( they are reliable, few friends tested them out, worked fine ). You will end up paying them around 3,500 to 4000.

Contrary to what many people believe, or claim, I believe that there wont be an official launch in india anytime soon, besides the whole stock and delivery drama, LG will first launch the Optimus G ( and this comes from a source who has a prominent position in LG ) and will never sabotage their flagship phone to launch an OEM model ( nexus 4 ). Doesn't make sense for LG financially or from a branding perspective.

Further from a branding perspective that also makes sense for LG, since regardless of Nexus 4 being made by LG, it will always be known as a Google Nexus ( like the galaxy nexus ) and LG plans to go head on with Samsung to prove their hardware is superior and have better custom android builds. So its Optimus G, then later Nexus ( factor in a big MAY BE ) .

[Nexus 4 General] vaibhavgandhi:
hey..from which site did you order nexus 4?
[Nexus 4 General] ShankyJain:
Customs law doesnt differ location wise.... Its just that you are levied octroi in Mumbai which is diff from customs. But you don't have to worry, since youre using PPOBOX, apart from thinking what protection you want to buy for your delicate N4

---------- Post added at 01:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 AM ----------

No 6th Feb orders shouldnt take so long. If it does maybe Google forgot about your order n u need to remind them of your order using skype. ishopinternational is under legal duty to provide you details of whatever they buy for you since you have paid for it. They are just your agent. Contact them and tell them to let you know if they have received the product.

Advice: Talk to them firmly as if your know your rights. Works in most cases

---------- Post added at 01:16 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:11 AM ----------

Not sure bro.. M going from a reference from this thread...

---------- Post added at 01:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 AM ----------

Use HSG (discount) if you already have PayPal account cuz a new paypal ac takes about a week to get completely activated for use with HSG. If you can wait for that time then good. Else if you cant wait to get N4 in ur hand then go with comG. Both are same company except that HSG have MOU with PayPal n offer discount.

---------- Post added at 01:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

I dont believe screen protector serve that (to save from cracks) purpose.... If that was a diff question then, Yes and No both. Depends on your usage but on a comparative scale with other phones, it twice likely to crack if it directly falls on the floor.
[Nexus 4 General] vaibhavgandhi:
Hey from which site did you order Nexus 4? In how many days did you receive the phone?

Hi ,

mail from the hsg is received and I am about the make the payment.I have declared the value as 349 and I do see the address

not shown fully on the right hand side .Its not showing the address2 and the state/province in the final ship to details.

But the address I have selected has all the details.

I have entered most of the address details in the state/province column as the add1 and 2 has limited charecters.

Can anyone help me whether that would be fine or not ?? whether the final address will be that one shown on the right side or would it have the complete address that i selected in address book ??
[Nexus 4 General] harshag:
By the time i received the mail from Google, the UPS tracking link embedded in the mail was already working.

I mean, Google has sent me the shipping mail 1 day after it has actually shipped, so when i opened the mail and clicked on the UPS tracking link, my package has already arrived in NY via Kentucky, and said out for delivery, 4 hours later someone signed it and picked it up at PPOBox NY warehouse.

I got a mail from PPOBox saying that my package has been shipped to India on the same day (yesterday) . But i am not able to track it since they have not sent me any Airway Bill No. yet. Any thoughts on that guys?
[Nexus 4 General] hodorhodor:

[Nexus 4 General] saptak1990:
Since no one from Pune is answering your question, let me just clarify: You'll be charged 5.5% octroi in Pune since it's in Maharashtra. Many Pune buyers in this forum have mentioned that in the previous pages. And please stop repeating the same question over and over again. If you're not satisfied with my answer, search on this thread, you'll find your answers. Or find some Pune buyers and PM them!

My phone's finally been shipped from the HSG facility in Portland. I'm glad it left the warehouse before the weekend (6.35pm on Friday) started in the US.

I've selected Express shipping and expected delivery date is 28th Feb so catching 2 days to clear customs it looks like I'll receive my phone on 30th Feb(edit:2nd March),a month after i booked it on 31st January.

I live in Pune and I'm hoping my some miracle/oversight I dont get charged Octroi and am not overcharged Customs.

Getting charged Octroi for packages delivered in Maharashtra is just a matter of luck. There are some folks who havent been charged octroi.

This is the message i got from google .

I tried to cancel this order and placed a new order but this time also the same thing its telling me That the card was declined .it could be due to insufficient fund (but have suffiecient amount of money more than double the required ) or contact the card issuer to authorise the charge

Contacted the bank didnt get any satisfactory response ,they told me to write a written complaint. :crying:

Is it happening because billing address that is the hopshopgo address listed in my Google Wallet account doesn't match the billing address that appears on my credit/debit card statement. if no what else could be the reason ?
