My extension expired yesterday. Got a mail today that refund request had been approved for which the process was initiated on 7th. Will receive refund in 3-4 days.
[Nexus 4 General] vsajan:
so are you done grace period of 5 days ? after the last shipping date ?
[Nexus 4 General] xpress7:
When did you received that mail? My refund request was initiated on 7th too.. already 5 days grace period is over and nothing happened? Have you contacted ebay to refund? Or it was done automatically??
[Nexus 4 General] yasirimteyaz:
Google shipped my order on 6th Dec. It got delivered on 12th Dec in Hyderabad.

The custom clearance took 2 days.

Google to Borderlinx -> 1 day (next day delivery)

Borderlinx to India -> 3 days (including the day when Borderlinx receives your order & ships it to you)

Cutom Clearance -> 2 days (it may happen on the same day, depends on the mood of custom officials and your luck)

Delhi to Hyderabd -> 1 day (transit after custom clearance)

worst service by cart2india...from two days ..daily i am calling them to hold the money so that i can wait for the product ..when called eBay they said they havent received any mail from cart2india requesting for the money to hold :|
[Nexus 4 General] karanits:
No HSG India Deliveries yet?
[Nexus 4 General] rubenswing:
My refund was also initiated on the 7th. ebay called me up and said that there is a cooling period of 5 days after the deadline and then they refund the amount, I had also raised a claim under ebay guarantee, the guarantee team called me up yesterday and held a conference call with cart2india and after the conversation they told me that the amount was approved and I would be getting the amount in the next 3 days.
[Nexus 4 General] trueblueram:
Ebay cant hold the money for more than 5 days anyway. and cart2india would know they wont be able to ship within 5 days (as detailed out by many people here). I think its high time u let this order die a natural death & explore other avenues.
[Nexus 4 General] vsajan:
no brother ebay can hold the money till the product shipped ,. if they receive any mail from cart2india stating the situation ,
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Stupid cart2india

This is the height of stupidity by cart2india. This is what I get today as a reply to my email asking for an estimated date of delivery of my order :eek:

I have put a strong reply to them.
[Nexus 4 General] vsajan:
Cart2india

today i spoke with eBay they said they haven't received any mail from cart2india , so when i called cart2india ...cart2india Csr said they already send bulk email to eBay stating the order/money to be hold ..when i said her that i just called eBay about the mail they said they haven't received any mail from cart2india ?

..then cart2india csr said they have manager level :P person in ebay who take cares of these :| & said they are about the receive phones by dec 24th :mad::silly: & i clearly said i want the phone not the money ...she said dnt worry sir will be tc of it :rolleyes::confused:

[Nexus 4 General] hydg1:
Just got my 8GB N4 delivered. I used hopshopgo and many thanks to the coupon shared on this thread the fees was just about $4.88 with express shipping. I had a US creditcard, resident there for many years. The customs and total fees paid to DHL on receiving was Rs 900 for this one phone (a bit higher than what others have quoted here, bangalore effect?). I noted the value as $299 and a mobile phone on shipping from hopshopgo.

Only hiccup was the phone was stuck in customs in Blr for 2 days, apparently mine was the lucky one and was physically inspected though paperwork was fine. DHL customer service was great though, quick to reach and gave me an update. Total comes to 17236.50 ($312+$5) + Rs900 = Rs 18137. Not bad with no warranty however. I will put it to the test later today and tomorrow and hopefully it is a fine piece. Thanks to all on this thread for help and advice.
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Oh boy! This is enough! I'm taking a break or my brain is gonna burst :silly:

Will not think about it for the next 20 days now. Whatever happens is our fate!
[Nexus 4 General] xpress7:
December 15th?? Seriously? That's really funny man :laugh:

I also sent them very very strong mails explaining some things, and asked them how they missed common sense when sending mails (Well, I strongly believe their common sense is OUT OF STOCK :P )

They always replied with the same copy and paste thing. :mad:
[Nexus 4 General] :
2% of 300$ is nowhere Rs 900.. its 6$ i.e around 330.

How come 900

Maybe DHL charges extra for custom clearance...

anyone ordered nexus 4 using buyforme services?

I ordered it through comgateway's buyforme and got an email saying they had placed the order after a day. Is this service trustworthy or its just like cart2india?(I cancelled the order from cart2india on dec 8th.) And also how is it that many icici indian credit cards have been accepted by play store but mine didn't? I entered comgateway's address on billing and shipping address???:crying:
[Nexus 4 General] khmohit:
YESSS finally my Nexus is now shipped

Finally got an email :D

Great news! Your order on Google Play has shipped. Track the status of your package

Order Date: December 12, 2012

The previous order is still stuck at pre order stage .

Thanks trueblueram ,karanits ,rohitbhatnagar85,iHarkunwar for help.:good:
[Nexus 4 General] :
You should ask their customer care for the receipt, just to get some sureity. Please ask them, they would have received it in mail

Its trustworthy. But they are lazy.

Cart2india failed when google actually restricted 2 mobiles per person, and only mode of payment and purchase was online.
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:

Guys who have bought some screen protector , cases and all accessories for this phone. Can you please relist your suggestions here again. I tried finding them but couldn't find the post. Need to buy one. I didn't buy the bumper thinking i dont have the phone, Now its opposite.:(

Please add these to the OP as well.
[Nexus 4 General] lekhwani:
I gave negative feedback about an hour back. Now cart2india people are requesting me to remove negative feedback. Previously they didn't have time to call and made so many people here call them daily.

What should I do?
[Nexus 4 General] NishantM:
Don't give them revised feedback. Tell them straight that they very well deserve the feedback given by you. Also tell them to be ready for more unless they give the existing buyers timely updates regarding the purchases.
[Nexus 4 General] Pratz1:
Wow...so u got shipping in a few hours itself....i ordered yesterday eve....nothing so far:(..that's bull****!

[Nexus 4 General] abhi2889:
I am seriously considering to stick with my s2 now.. After reading about some issues those early adopters are facing and problem in even buying one, i am skeptical.. :banghead:
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
Even S2 has flaws buddy... Go to camera app & try to view a white or slight grey surface - u can easily make out the pink spot at the center... Even S2 gets too hot & the white pages on screen has bluish tint... I was a proud owner of S2 but sold it recently...

The early noobs says things that they don't understand properly...

> As for the yellow tint - either its glue prob or its universal as its also seen in one x & iphone also... amoleds have bluish tints...

> As for the rattling - its actually a camera feature - something to do with autofocus or something... even nokia lumia has that...

> As for as glass breaking is concerned - its a big debate... some think plastic on samsung phones has cheap looks, aluminium on iphone scratches easily & now glass breaks easily... there is always a reason to comment...
[Nexus 4 General] abhi2889:
Yes i know s2 also has some flaws but i am fortunate that my s2 doesn't have pink spot or screen burn but it does get hot after some intense use like games.

Your reasons are correct.. Some problems are not as big as ppl ate saying.. I am not much concerned about them but my main issue is that it is nt available for purchase.. :banghead: my friend is coming in dec and speculations suggest that it will be available around xmas only and my friend is coming early..
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
yeah i understand the frustration... Hey, u r not the only one... we r all with u on that... :(

[Nexus 4 General] gouthama:
Why Google?

Just because we are born in India, makes us to wait a long time and needs to pay extra, when the world is paying half the price for nexus 4…

Why Google can’t handle a play store for India?

Feeling very sad….
[Nexus 4 General] abhi2889:
As expected... :mad:

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

Best solution would be to call google play store support and ask them.
[Nexus 4 General] shishirasm:
I don't think they allow shipping address to be changed, which is similar to the procedures in ebay & other shopping sites... Thats the reason they give you another chance before checkout to confirm your address... But in this case the google is delaying & it will their sole responsibility...

Try to contact google play support & ask them for assistance... But, i have a funny feeling that they won't oblige to the request & asks u to cancel the order... Let us know what happens, Because many others are having similar issues here...
[Nexus 4 General] G@vi:
Launch of Gnex4 in India (Nov. End) may be delay bcoz of huge demand on play store but still not confirm it's depends on stock availability from Korea :(

see post #1608 on this thread (I can't post the direct link yet)

Well don't know about 2% but dutycalculator site suggests I should have been taxed much higher closer to 2K Rs. It would be good to figure out the correct rate and it would suck if we are getting charged depending on the whims of the officer and/or by location. Perhaps it is all a futile exercise in any case as we may not even contest whatever the charges are levied here, we just have roll the dice and pay up.

My order was instantly received by google and went to pending, and during sometime today - i guess it went to pre-ordered. and in the afternoon shipped.

May be instantly getting received by google is the key, but then my previous order was also instantly received but was in pending for 2 days before i cancelled it.

Have ordered via HopShopGo (HSG). Should I cancel my order & place one more? :(

etc

where my uncle can just drop of the phone and i can recive it here

how many days?

should i tell my uncle to courier it to ppobox or should i use other courier

i did it via sns, after google delivered to them...they took 3.5 working days to deliver...the fast shipping from US.
[Nexus 4 General] Hrithan2020:
To be honest, I am not too sure. What is the expected delivery time for usps? If it is within 7 days, then it is a reasonable price, though forwarding services will do it cheaper plus have option for insurance. [just 1$/100$!] . Popular ones are hopshopgo [there is a coupon code valid till Dec 31, which brings the service charge to a very cheap price (first 500g free or so), borderlinx, SnS etc..

For bluedart, I was not able to find price for a shipment from US to India. However the reverse costs around Rs 3400!!. [ Here is the link ]
