Technically, it appears that you aren't supposed to use Indian Post for items whose cost goes above Rs. 2000. It would seem that the 5k fine + customs applies when the cost of item is above 2k. This seems like a new rule, because I had imported items earlier >2k, and there wasn't any discussions...

If you haven't yet received a customs notification, why go the extra mile? Just ensure that your office mailroom hasn't received them and misplaced. As WingZero has mentioned, they just want to find out the actual price for the item. FYI, the hours mentioned on the notification letter is...

I was planning today to go to SP road today morning to get some audio cables, and as luck would have it, I got delayed. So I got the customs notification before I could leave. I decided to drop in at the customs office since it wasn't too far away from SP road. I took a printout of the...

They wouldn't be asking you for a bill if they were convinced it was a gift. From the photos that others have received, it was clearly marked as having value of $25. http://www.techenclave.com/hot-deals-discussions/brainwavz-m4-available-60-off-132490/p11/#post1667928 It would appear that...

Same situation here. Got a registered letter today asking for actual value. I guess there were too many orders from Bangalore to escape attention from the Customs guys. I guess at other locations the items got away easily since those locations seem to have very few people who ordered.

I guess it's evoking very sharp emotions: Either you love it or you hate it. No middle path. Personally, I think the Metro UI is very regressive for "PowerUsers", used to Keyboards and large monitors. It'll probably be fine with tablets & "post-pc" formfactors, but it just sucks for desktops. I...

I too am waiting for mine, stuck since 14th June. Its been an entire week now. Given what Hades. has experienced, there's a chance it's at the local office. But given that so many of us are stuck, I would guess none of the parcels have yet moved from the sub-foreign dept. :mad44: If only...

An anecdotal rebuttal to build quality of Brainwavz IEMs: My M3 went bad in just 6 months. Given that people are claiming long lives of their IEMs without issues, I guess I got a lemon.

Why do I get the feeling that this is a sneaky way for some marketeer to harvest emails and mobile numbers to be spammed later?

At that pricepoint, I think no other IEM can give you same amount of bass like PL-11. The Creative EP-630 can be considered, but it would be probably more like a side-grade than up-grade. I believe the JVC Marshmellows have a clearer signature, but they are not bass-heavy. The PL-21 has a...

This is pathetic customer service from all involved. Everyone is passing the buck and trying to save their ass; and in the end the customer gets screwed over. Who in their sane minds would have known that a package is pilfered and hence needs to be opened in front of witnesses; and that too, at...

I believe MP4Nation was offering free FedEx shipping to India. Now I haven't ever heard about FedEx guys pilfering stuff, so your item should arrive safe & sound. On the other hand, FedEx will always pay customs & recover the amount from you, in addition to their handling charges (Rs. 300 from...

The Champagne Purple on the AD700 isn't loud enough for him? :bleh:

Come to think of it, it might not necessarily be your 'last mile' local postman; could be any of the intermediatory post-offices in between too. I think it means that Customs have inspected & cleared the item and it has been forwarded to the "Foreign Post" dept. at Bangalore Post office.

My suspicion would be at the Indian Post rather than the customs folks. The customs guys handle much more expensive stuff on a daily basis; they would have much more tempting targets to go for if they wanted to pilfer. On the other hand, your local postman might be thinking this parcel is his...

Which DSLR will fit into your pocket and take calls too? :bleh:

So far, what I gather is that you'll bleed money if you call back. No one has reported losing balance for picking up the call.

Between the two, from a SQ perspective, the DG would be a better choice because it's DAC would be an improvement over typical onboard DAC, and it would provide a decent HP amp as well. The E6 is only an amp, so its potential to provide improved SQ is limited.

While the AD700 do leak some sound, it's not enough to wake someone from sleep. You can have them at very loud volumes, where they can sound like tiny speakers from a mobile, but practically it would be too loud to be on your ears. AD700 are very easy to drive. You shouldn't have any trouble...

Cut off the plug, and solder the wires onto a new plug. If you aren't very familiar with soldering, get the one of plugs below and go to a electronics repair shop. I was looking at the MX website for a plug myself, and have the below links for 3.5mm plugs...
