Members, kindly help me out with this issue...

I ordered two Nexus 4 on 1st March

Google delivered them to HSG on 5th

HSG shipped them via Fedex international economy on 6th (provided me a tracking number)

On 6th, I started tracking it and it showed weight of 2 nexus, but on 7th suddenly it became weight of 1 nexus, as described above. See screenshots attached.

I did contact FedEx yesterday and they said it might be a typo. Also they stated that only when it comes at your doorstep, we can confirm that there is some problem as it has to be verified by you as a receiver.

Now, its been 2 days, its been sitting in Memphis, and I am **** scared that it might be actually the case that one phone has been stolen/lost

HSG/CWG states in their T&C:

"7. Loss, Damage and Delay to Shipment

We will make every reasonable effort to deliver the Shipment according to our regular delivery schedules, which is calculated to be from the next business day immediately after full payment of the shipping charges, but these are not guaranteed and are not binding. We are not liable for any damages or loss caused by delays."

and also

"All claims for loss or damage must be made within fourteen (14) days from the date of delivery of the Services, failing which we shall have no liability whatsoever.

Such claims must be made in writing, accompanied by the original copy of the consignment note, any supporting documents, relevant invoices or receipts for that item."

Now I am thinking the worse here:

1. FedEx (since, I have informed them), might be delaying the shipment intentionally (if they are at fault), so that it crosses 14 days and I may not be able to claim after the 14 days period stipulated by HSG

2. I have asked HSG for the original invoice which FedEx would have provided them (so I can get a solid proof of initial weight) and they havent replied yet. May be thats intentional too.

Kindly provide some suggestions as to how shall I proceed in this thing. Hoping for the best but I need to be prepared for the worst as well.

Hello guys..yesterday night i placed the order for Nexus 4 but i forgot to change my CC billing address so the payment got declined and i got a mail saying to update the payment details with in 7 working days, then i changed my billing address from india to Newjersey (my shipping address). so it accepted my order and my order went to pre-ordered stage and i got an order number.

But my Bank says that my transaction have been declined, i am quite confused, what will happen now..?? will google contact my bank and will automatically deduct the money..? or the order will get cancelled...

Please help guys..:(
[Nexus 4 General] sekhar447:
wait for google email. Are you able to see message in your wallet account as google received your order?. If there is any issue with your credit card the order will get cancelled and you will get an email. If not, phone will get shipped! .. cheers!.

Hey Guys...need some help

I placed an order for 16GB on 7th March 2013 around lunch time. I got the receipt through email and thats it. It is still stuck on a single bullet point. I noticed that some of the guys on this forum who had placed their order in the last 5-6 days have got their order shipped within 2-3 days. But mine is still on a single bullet point. I sent an e-mail today to play store support and I got a reply saying it takes atleast 3-5 days to process the order.

What should i do? I am afraid my order might get cancelled.

For additional information, I am from Mumbai and I placed the order through credit card(expecting it would be faster thorugh cc).

I have one more query- What is the billing address that everyone is talking about? In my google wallet account I have put New York address which is also the shipping address.
[Nexus 4 General] sarthakkapoor25:
You are gonna spend 25$ on a charger just cause its cute??Good luck bro.BDW the CUTE charger has an output of 1A.Stock charger is better with 1.2A.
[Nexus 4 General] ckranjan:
add 10 $ us shipping + 10 $ international shipping + 10 $ customs.

[Nexus 4 General] akhil.in:
Congrats!

You ordered with increased customs, right? How much did you pay for 8GB / 16GB to iShop? What docs do they provide? They told me they will not give Google Play invoice (since they buy in bulk) but they issue their own invoice.

Mine is on the way... Will get it on Monday.

So it's established now that iShop does ship in bulk / batches but the delay is not much and within 6-10 days of making the payment you do receive it! :)

It seems so far iShop is the best considering no customs, google, credit card or other hassles...
[Nexus 4 General] ramkumar2000:
Thanks for the reply

So what should i do..? should i cancel my order and place a new order..? or wait for google to cancel it and than place a new order..?? how much time does it took for you when google cancelled ur order..??

Hopefully Google would realize that India's gonna be at the top of the world... No wonder Indians drive the world's technology & innovation!
[Nexus 4 General] saxena.siddhu:
Yeah they are going to realize that ! but i'm thinking that if in the US the play store got sold out in hours then in India's i can only imagine 30 minutes because if indians get to know that nexus 4 has been launched for 16k and 19k then its gonna be a mess...!! man i just wish it is true !! can't wait

Yeah i thought the same and expected this from others too but... you know this is GOOGLE :) they are selling everywhere for the same low price in us uk australia canada and recently japan... its going to be the same price... all the others are ! yeah i know LG or any other company is going to sell it for 30 or something BUT MY MAN THIS IS GOOGLE ! AND I TRUST GOOGLE ! who's with me ?

[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
See the point is, taxes. Vat @12.5% recently increased 2% charge on mobile and what all taxes will be applicable. Plus shipping charge. Google selling devices in India won't have that peace of mind of deliveries getting lost, like in US UPS bears the cost. They will need to find a company in India which offers them the same deal.

I too want the Google devices to launch in India.
[Nexus 4 General] saxena.siddhu:
Yup ! I'm getting your point. Clearly that's one thing we'll have to deal with. But man ! Seriously ?

I say Fuuck THAT shiit just look at the bright side ! We'll be getting it and moreover the MRP would be low... Man now i can't concentrate on my exams ! (and guess what it's my 10th boards.. well not exactly board i opted for the CCE School Exams..) I just can't wait !!
[Nexus 4 General] sarthakkapoor25:
See the point is that Nexus 4 launch has to be agreed upon by both google and LG.Launching nexus 4 at a low price will kill the sales of recently launched Optimus G.Same thing happened with galaxy nexus and it never came to india.Also,google has launched the device at such a low price cause it knows it will cover the cost through play store.Do indians ever buy any apps??:P
[Nexus 4 General] akhil.in:
:P

Lol @ buy apps... ;)

Yeah but India's increasingly becoming a (read the) source of Google's Ad revenues and traffic!
[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
I buy but only the root apps :D

[Nexus 4 General] adidas007:
India was even in their Gnex list. It never launched.
[Nexus 4 General] chaitanya87:
Is it true? They had sold their Nexus S here but not through playstore i guess.
[Nexus 4 General] Fractalnoize:
then probably the rates would have been higher
[Nexus 4 General] thebenefactor:
It's true that India is added on nexus page since two days (same day nexus 4 launched in Japan) while yesterday Korea is added and Egypt is also added today.

But it seems that nexus 7 will be launched here( like Korea) as asus has also confirmed officially remember that they have non significant share in Indian tablet market. Further we know that LG had recently launched its flagship device in India hence they will also likely to choose the same path like Samsung. Chances for nexus 4 launch in my opinion is very low but who knows. May be upcoming I/O could bring some good news for us. Let's keep finger crossed after all we also play big part in Google ad revenues.

Got two 8 gig from HSG today - Help!!

I had ordered two 8 gig + Wireless Charger from Google on 23rd Feb, shipped on 1st Mar, reached HSG on 5th, shipped through DHL by HSG on 6th and Received by me today (9th) at Delhi.

My question is that the value of the items (including Shipping to HSG) was USD 671.98, CIF @ USD 706.02, which comes to roughly INR 40243.

DHL has charged me duty of Rs 7633 for these items

Counter Vailing Duty - 4242.00

Additional Customs Duty - 2998.00

Handling Fee - 350.00

Service Tax - 42.00

Education cess + Higher Education cess - 1.26

I am really disappointed with this as i had earlier received one 16 GB through PPO box and i had to pay only Rs 1300 odd to them including duty.

Can somebody help me on why it is so high and whether I can do something about it?

Thanks in advance
[Nexus 4 General] vkcv:

yes yes it is launching :D
[Nexus 4 General] Di@blo:
Oh man!! :( Looks like they've charged 17% (accessory duty) on whole shipment. You should not have done that (ordering phone and accessory) knowing about Delhi customs.. That too a high value shipment like this.. Its not DHL that has charged you this. It comes from customs. DHL just adds the handling fee alone. Someone already shared the link for raising customs complaint. Try that if it helps.
[Nexus 4 General] nitin.chobhe:
I think they have charged the duty @ of 16% as you have ordered a charger which comes under mobile accessory (Though this is my guess only)...
[Nexus 4 General] dipeshpp:
Sim issue

Got my N4 today. PPOBox made me wait for 2 hours at their office coz they were "unable to find my package".

Anyway, coming from a Desire HD, it feels light and delicate.

And somehow it doesn't recognize my freshly cut microsim. But strangely the signal strength reads -75dbm 19asu, which I believe is normal.

The sim works fine along with the adapter on my older phone.

Any suggestions?

Nexus 7 is releasing in INDIA may be in june or something http://gadgets.ndtv.com/tablets/new...s-7-officially-coming-to-india-by-june-336254 but NEXUS 4........ I don't think so.

I think even NEXUS 7 will cost more here google is not gonna subsidize it here because as of now

we INDIANS don't like to pay for apps,magazines(if ever available on playstore) ,movies(if ever available on playstore) ,serials(if ever available on playstore).They have launched books here which is a positive sign and if people starts buying books etc from playstore then may be we will be able to see nexus 4 or something here... else I don't see any business logic of launching a highly subsidized phone here.
[Nexus 4 General] vkcv:
But also as many people already pointed out, lg just released their new flagship not a very long time ago, so I highly doubt them cannibalizing their own sales. And also, in countries where Google play devices aint available, I guess lg gets to sell them and they won't be selling it for anything cheaper than 30k. :-\
[Nexus 4 General] lovesingh25:
Yup and I think even our FDI laws in retail which makes it mandatory for e-retailers(only foreign based like amazon etc) to set up physical shop in INDIA if they want to sell their product in india. This is the reason why amazon had not entered the indian market.

I think same is the case with PLAYSTORE. So even if Google wants to launch it they have to do it with the GREAT help of LG:silly:

so there goes another nail in coffin for NEXUS 4:eek: whereas ASUS had already shown interest in launching NEXUS 7:angel: but at a premium price point(Rs 19,999 for 16 gb version):crying:.

True. End of the day, getting it imported from the USA is the most economically viable option, for any such gadget. Or if you are really lucky, you might find some Indian retailer selling it online at a cheap price, which is almost totally never in the case of the nexus 4. :(
[Nexus 4 General] _KP:
I really don't care about the pricing of Nexus 4 (if it ever launches) in India. If its too high people can still import them. But the important thing is after it launches here we can atleast get it serviced here instead of having to go through the trouble of sending it back to US ! :(

Even though the package contains two units of Nexus ,but as a freight ,it is considered a single parcel with a single AWB.

I did not download your screen shot....Total weight should be 1.9 pounds (two pcs weight)......Fedex spends lot of time in transit...it is possible to fiddle it ...But I doubt it. The customs will open the box because of Fedex and will know if there are two or one phone. Also You should send your original Google sales note showing price/qty to HSG & make them stick it in box. Google sends only delivery note saying 2 pcs nexus 4.not invoice.
[Nexus 4 General] hemant_p:
Its already in Transit and I cant tell HSG to do that now. It clicked to me after I read your post before saying the same

It reached France hub now and still it is showing 0.9 pounds. I will contact FedEx India (as suggested by US FedEx guys by phone as well as email) and tell them clearly that I wont accept the shipment if it is only one phone. Also will tell them to reduce the value declared by half, if there is only one phone in that shipment. Customs ka kya hai, wo log to 1 phone pe bhi declared value (since its higher than their 29k) i.e. 2 ka customs laga denge. :mad:

Also, simultaneously will have to start the claiming process with HSG now itself by sending them the tracking link that it is showing only one phone's weight. Would ask them for half value i.e. $712/2. But they have asked for all original documents in their T&C. Do they expect to send us original documents via mail after we receive the shipments (which takes 10 days) and then send them everything within 14 days after shipment date, even considering weekends. It seems highly unlikely that I will get any insurance after all.

Googled about these kind of cases. Came across similar one, where FedEx paid the guy for a missing iPad out of two.

You should not have added wireless charges along with the phone.They charged the whole lot @ Mobile acccossories rate which is 17% as per PPO & 28.8% as per SNS. You got ripped off. Ask DHL the break up product wise. as Mobile phone alone is 1+6%

Guys I need some help here,

My uncle bought a Nexus 4 for me, He lives in LA... Unfortunately there's no one to send it through to india so he's thinking of sending through courier from there.

So which is the best and cheapest(and safe) option... Would i have to pay customs for it? Can someone explain the exact procedure?

Just an option

I have a friend coming from us and i may get my NEXUS4 till 29th. Since you dont have some one coming, here's a link => trak.in/mobiles/buying-google-nexus-4-india-price-rs-22500

This person got it from a service that mails all goods worldwide, they calculate all taxs and weight. Since you uncle lives in LA, he might know such a mailing service in his city.

nothing to get excited about , india was in the list even when galaxy nexus was launch ,
