My package was stuck within India for good 23 days before it was finally delivered with customs in excess of 100% of the value paid.

Delhi FPO, it's the Head Office at ITO. They have absolutely zero procedure of checking the value of the item. It's very arbitrary. Say for example, I had ordered a pair of sunglasses, instead of checking the company name and model, they'll check "UV Sunglasses" and the assessment value will be...

I went to the India Post FPO the other day and saw the Customs Inspector manually opening every "biggish" package and randomly checking the value of it on the internet for customs purposes.

So I finally received the package today and they had levied a customs duty of Rs.1,362/- on an item worth $20? It just doesn’t make sense. I refused to accept the package and now I plan to approach the Delhi Customs Office with a letter. I would’ve paid the duty if it were 500-600, but how can...

Would be nice if you could post screen shots.

Will do. 41% duty on a $16 pair of sunglasses, that just seems a bit excessive.

Wow! Thank you for such an elaborate post detailing out the whole process. This should be made into a sticky on the first page. It seems like the status has changed on the website. It now states - Arrival at Destination Postal Admin (From SG/SIN to IN). So I guess everything is on track.

I ordered a pair of sunglasses from AE worth $16 and it was shipped via Singapore Post. It shows "Import clearance failure" at the Kolkata Customs. I'm confused as to why they'd hold back a $16 pair of sunglasses. But when I track the package on this website trackortrace, it shows "Arrival at...

I have a question guys. I used the same welcome back coupon of $4 twice. The second time it showed me the option and I went ahead with it. I paid for the second-order but it shows as order closed and to order it again without using a coupon. How long does it take for the money to be refunded?

I ordered 8 same items off AE and got sent the same wrong products. Raised a dispute and the seller messaged me asking me to take the dispute down so we can settle, I messaged back saying what resolution he had in mind. But, within 2 days, AE settled the dispute in my favour and issued me a...

Selling my Sennheiser RS 120 II Wireless Headset with base station. These have exceptional sound quality. They have been sparingly used since they've been purchased. I only used them for some audio-related work earlier this year. Since then they've been lying unused. 1) Sennheiser HDR 120...

Is there any workaround to get UDP working?

Hi, I will be traveling for a month and I need to access work via my home network (ISP) on the go. I am using an ACT Fibrenet connection with an ISP provided TP-Link Archer C1200. I enabled the DDNS (via No-IP) and OpenVPN services on it, but I am unable to get it to work. Every time I try to...

About more than a year ago I was using MTNL and wanted to shift to Airtel because....well, MTNL.. I soon found out that Airtel was offering some great plans in a nearby locality and I called Airtel that I wanted the same plans. Guess what their reply was? They pretty much said we're the...

Hi somebody is selling a 4-year-old U2412? What should be a reasonable price to pay for it?

Great going. I'm glad you followed through. Most people would've just let it go and take it in their stride as a lesson, but I'm glad you came through. I hope there is a quick and justiciable resolution.

Damn dude this really sucks. And I'll reiterate what everyone else is telling you, file a complaint with the police ASAP. Which city are you located in?

Great to hear that! Feedback exchanged. Closing thread.

Sold. Payment received, item shipped and tracking details have been shared.

PM'd you mate.
