Yes. Gati is faster. My order with gear best reached in 7 days.
Nice, 7 days is actually quicker than DHL! Too bad GATI doesn't show up as an option for most sellers so your stuck with Singapore or China Post.

No option to choose. Aliexpress standard shipping will be handled by Indian Post and once it reaches India, it can be tracked from Indian post website
I had a few low-value items with no shipping details delivered through GATI. However, when i ordered from gearbest and selected Indian express shipping, it was delivered through GATI
Yep. But they don't do anything. Just like pickup n drop. If there is any custom charge then they will collect it from you.So Indian Post will do the Customs Clearance Procedure?
EMS is a speed Post, where as standard shipping is normal post.So, last evening was browsing for a watch on AliExpress and saw this on one of the listed watches:
I was a little surprised that EMS shipping is charging $35 extra! Isn't AliExpress Standard Shipping essentially handled by EMS, which ends up being free, so I wonder what the difference is that the extra $35 is being charged in this case.
I will be ordering for the first time so few queries:
- So do we get email confirmation from seller about payment receipt/ credited @ his end? or about order confirmation?

- Sometime the seller asks to email for the choice in specific pattern/color/model etc. (See below)
- Do we need to send the choice only after payment confirmation?
- Do we get tracking for the free china mail shipping?
- How much is estimated time to reach metro cities India?

If your not home, postman will leave and place your package at your local post office. You have to go to post office personally and take your package. If the package isn't taken by you in one week, they'll send back the packageOk. Cool.
But the China mail delivery will be attempted by our local postman then what if my homes lock, then do they make another attempt and call us?
Thats fine but on first delivery itself does postman calls you prior visiting your home?If your not home, postman will leave and place your package at your local post office.

If he doesnt then how can we assume the package has arrived and we are suppose to visit the post office.
For items having no tracking info. this becomes a major query.
What I think is, the local postman will just come and deliver it once it arrives at their local delivery station. Usually in my area they hardly delay once the shipment reaches their local station but I haven't dealt with shipments without tracking numbers, ever. I presume you'll just have to wait and it'll arrive sooner or later. If there are any additional issues when your local post office receives the item, like any additional duties you'll need to pay, then they might call you before attempting delivery.
I would advice choosing shipping methods which involve the tracking numbers. It's a little peace of mind and assurance that your package is on track.
Hi, For additional duties with trackable parcel by Indian Post, who will ask for the payment and where to pay? Please let me know.
What is we dont want to pay the duties instead? Do we get refund from the seller in such cases or we are left with no option but to pay duties and get the item.If it's being handled by India Post and duty is levied by the Indian Customs, then I believe the local post office/ station will give you a call once they receive the shipment to let you know that duty has been charged and the amount you need to pay. Next, the local postal delivery guy will come with the shipment and a duty receipt and collect the amount payable from you and deliver the shipment to you along with the receipt.
OTOH, when they call you to let you know the additional duty amount from the post office you can also ask them to hold the shipment and then go and collect it from them after clearing the amount. In this case, it's best not to delay and get the shipment from the post office ASAP.
How come seller responsible for duty and for refund in this case ?What is we dont want to pay the duties instead? Do we get refund from the seller in such cases or we are left with no option but to pay duties and get the item.
