I was waiting for ishops mail, seems they are not interested...

ok i checked mobilefuns website they r charging 305 for shipping which remains the same whether we order 1 or 5, hence ordering 5 will be a better idea

1052*5= 5260 + 305= 5565 which comes to 1113 per pc and once it reaches india shipping via speed post would suffice which charges Rs 50 (approx) hence it will come to 1163 per pc, what say guys?

this is inclusive of everything. the website shows it'll be instock in 3-5 days, 2 days ago it was 1-2 weeks. Therefore we should order within the next 5 days. It will be better if we order in Delhi or nearby, I am from kolkata.

I had ordered on 2nd and reached to the address on 8th. But, we never know the stock status. 1 week is very close I think. You may give a try if somebody else there to take it if your relative leave by then and probably you can use PPOBOX or any other service to get it to India in such case.

Okay.. when u login to comgateway when ur parcel is ready to ship u can see the merchants invoice there which is the delivery notice... after updating they will replace it with the invoice u provide and u can check that by clicking merchants invoice.. and usually comG asks u to declare the value but after u update the invoice they set it to 349... and just incase they dont paste it u will get a call from dhl... coz the invoice image shows as missing in their system

i had talk with DHL customer care he says my shipment is on hold.

As Said ...

It got cleared, but then customs thought to physically verify..[thought?!] This will happen when one of our designated officer will be there with custom officer to open the box. This process might take around 1 day or else it would had been out to deliver by now. (sic)

Hi All,

Does anybody know how much time will it take to get refund of entire amount from Google on order cancellation ??

I paid by HDFC Credit card.
[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
Doesnt make much sense of ordering tab from us, coz the duty is 16% for tab so u will hav to pay hefty customs

Mine is still stuck at bangalore customs, from yestreday it shows "Clearance processing complete at BANGALORE - INDIA"

I did call the dhl express cc and they said that its still in customs and if its cleared, then i might get it by tommo

they will call you once they have cleared it from customs to tell you the amt to be paid and deliver schedule

Fedex i have no idea but di@blo phone was "rested" at customs for a week before it reached him...it wz dhl express

Even mine is still in customs, from yesterday morning its shows that "Clearance processing complete at BANGALORE - INDIA"

i am too waiting desperately:(
[Nexus 4 General] ramkumar2000:
It may take upto 21 days, I cancelled my order on march 2nd but still have not received the refund.

I called HDFC and they told me that this amount is not yet claimed by the merchant and as you have cancelled the order it wont be claimed by the merchant but the refund may take upto 21 days, it can happen in a week also but upper limit is 21 days

Hey.

Had a friend bring a N4 16GB from the US with him and been really happy with it. :good:

Just curious which bumpers you guys have for the N4 and where you bought them from. Would you recommend any particularly which could be available locally (Kolkata/Mumbai or online)?

I have in the meanwhile ordered the Ringke Hybrid Fusion Case through him again but thats gonna take a while i guess.

Thanks.

it was bad, the only thing i could do was the small swipe to reject calls.

they replaced the lcd and glass and digitizer (one single unit) for 4691 including tax and service charge. no documents required. no questions asked.

i dont understand how anyone expects this to be covered under warranty. the only things that your warranty covers (in general) is stuff that is a manufacturers defect or something or that sort. not when you break your screen

Hey guys!!

The nexus 4 is my dream phone and the only way for me to get it is by the method given in this thread!! :/

But my parents are not willing to risk 23k by going through this arduous process!! Are there any risks involved and are there any problems you guys faced when shipping?? Is there any guarantee that PPObox or any other company will deliver the product to us??

Thank you in advance guys!! PLEASE help me out!! :)
[Nexus 4 General] Jundstars:
Getting the device forwarded via a 3rd party company might be tedious but its safer than you think. convincing your parents is a whole different story. If the risk is too much, why dont you consider an 8gb one from ebay? much safer and faster that way. Mitigating risk comes at a price though.

Am sure youave already tried getting it via a friend or a relative whos abroad.

Mine reached Bangalore via FedEx / CGW, but the tracking is still showing half the original weight (0.9lbs / 0.4 kgs instead of 1.9 lbs / 0.9 kg for two N4's)... :crying:

Now only when customs people open that box, they will and eventually I will come to know whether it has been actually stolen...

Praying for the best.. Hope that the tracking page weight turns out to be an error and I get both my phones ordered...

Does this mean it has cleared the customs?
[Nexus 4 General] Nepali_Guy:
Hey guys,

I got my nexus 4 yesterday it was sent from US using USPS.I didn't know till the courier was on board that the courier has been sent using ordinary post that means no tracking no insurance no nothing.

I was literally speaking fire to my relative who had posted it.

Desperately I read all the info. available on sites and knew all the procedure involved. the courier shipment sent by USPS is delivered in India using Indian postal service. With couple of rounds of DELHI foreign post office located in ITO I had concluded that the package is lost . while visiting the post office the people there were suggesting me to use registered post for next shipment ( next shipment ????? The people there were so sure that the package was stolen on transit obviously in India and I can do nothing that was some ****ty moment )

And after a month without hope I got the package delivered yesterday without any custom duty.

Thanks for replying akhz99 .....

I just received my order today at cgw and I'd really appreciate if you or anyone in this forum can help me with the below:

1) How do I change/replace the merchants invoice with the proper Google's invoice so that there is no problem during custom evaluation?

2) How do I provide them the Google invoice? I mean should I simply forward the email I received from Google? Or should I take a screen shot of the Google invoice and convert it in PDF format and then email that as attachment?

3) Is there any requirement of entering the value manually after email them Google invoice? If yes then what amount should I enter? I know and I've read all the post in this forum and I got mixed reactions about the same. Some say to enter the base amount i.e. $349 on the other hand other say to enter the total amount which is base + tax + shipping charges. I'm confused coz I don't want the custom officer to think that I'm evading tax by entering less amount. I even know logically and technically the amount should be $349 but don't want to get in any kinda scuffle with custom fellows :p I'm telling all this coz mine would be cleared from Delhi !!

4) If there are any tips please do share as it would be great for all :D
[Nexus 4 General] Bluffyone:
1. ask them to stick the invoice on the shipped box, insist on that.

Hello,

I ordered nexus 4 16gb on 3rd ,it took 8 days to get to next bullet point :confused: ,and now just got an email saying that the cell is shipped to PPOBox NY address, I have updated my pkg details with the tracking number and Google invoice number.Now waiting for the cell to reach PPOBox and then to Mumbai.

I have question for Mumbai folks ,how can save on Octroi , i have given my office address to PPOBox, which is in Hiranandani business park Powai (SEZ), but to be sure about saving Octroi should i go and get the cell from their warehouse/office? do they allow that. If anybody has done this already, a little guidance would be very much appreciated .
