[Party Monger]

This whole re-assessment business is testing my patience. There are three parties involved other than you - Local PO, Foreign post office, Customs office.

L PO sent the parcel with my letter to FPO and instead it reached the GPO :|
Now all three fcukers are playing pass the ball. Anyway, going to LPO tomorrow, he said he will talk with the post master and sort it out.
If he doesnt, im going to rain shit on them. Its been 1 month since i declined and asked for reassessment, and it hasn't even reached Customs. Argh.

Works perfect , Couldnt check LTE as no LTE network available . Jio has only Band 40 and 5 here
Increase of 15 dbm from outside
Any other way to check or .....

Try checking with AVoId. One of them should be providing 4g on 1800 mhz band.

No I don't think anybody offers 4gbin t at band

So 2g and 3g are good ?

 

[kuduku]

yes increase in signal is there in 2G , At-least 15Dbm as per display on device . At home most network BTS are close by .
Will test in detail using signal monitor apps
But It works . 2G confirmed

The link you referred is way too old. Relaince JIO, Airtel, Vodafone, Idea, Telenor all of them provide 4G services on band 3 (1800 Mhz) in certain circles, depending on availability of liberalized spectrum.

Received my package today. No duty was charged.

Had placed the order on 22nd August. Received it today. Was shipped using AliExpress Standard Shipping.

The package was marked as a gift. Outer envelope was intact which means Customs did not open the package at all.

it is good to see that limit has been increased to RS 50000.
if we are buying one item then obviously it is for personal use.

4 out of 10 E14 LEDs I ordered are defective. fortunately Aliexpress to the rescue aprooved my refund request, I didn't had to reship.

I searched, all of them are of screw type holder. can you provide link for what you bought.

 

[phunsukh]

Even though no customs duty is charged but these charges will be levied on the expensive stuff.
Countervailing Duty (CVD) 12.5%
Additional CVD 4%
Infrastructure Cess 0 - 0
National Calamity Contingent Duty (NCCD) 1%

These charges are for importing the cellphones.

Guys does anyone have any idea/guesses if any customs would be charged , if the item is 'big' , but not so expensive ?
I am thinking of ordering this : https://www.aliexpress.com/store/pr...ts-Width-Adjustbale-3/409307_32271905088.html

• Unit Type: piece
• Package Weight: 5.000kg (11.02lb.)
• Package Size: 82cm x 18cm x 22cm (32.28in x 7.09in x 8.66in)

 

[viktik]

size has nothing to do with the cost of the product.

 

[cute.bandar]

I ordered it, and it has arrived in delhi. But I got a SMS/Call asking for KYC. Legit ?

 

[adventureguy]

Yes. its legit. Just send them a scan of your kyc document. either pan card or adhaar card will do.

 

[cute.bandar]

Thanks, sent the kyc form and voter id pics.

 

[cute.bandar]

I was charged Rs. 900 as custom. So total cost:
Product- 2500
Shipping (fedex ie) - 2500
customs - 900

Just letting everyone know

btw does anyone know why customs were charged here? I am not charged any customs for ordering similarly priced electronics from dealextreme/gearbest ?

Can someone advise what is the last status shown in Aliexpress tracking. My local post office is not reliable hence will have to go and check. Latest status is as shown.

Hey guys avoid buy anything from these two sellers: always fashion shop and SMT they both are fraud since june i haven't got products, & purchase protection got expired still they dint give me refund, and moreover they confirmed automatically that i have got it.. And disabled my account too, now i cant dispute the charges also, since they were very kind and polite i dint even disputed it through my bank and i have lost my hard earned money.

 

[adventureguy]

Aliexpress always reminds you to extend purchase protection before it expires if you didnt receive the product. Why didnt you ?
