My shipment arrived in India on 5th. Still stuck with customs. Not sure this was India post delay or Customs delay or this is due to RSS complaints regarding aliexpress and other chinese sites.

There's not much you can do. Wait it out, it should get released. What kind of product is this if you don't mind sharing? What is worrying me is, it says it's being detained for unspecified reason twice in a matter of couple of days.

Nothing questionable. The item is wireless extender - so looks like a router. It costs only 40 USD.

Banggood does. Just my observation as I bought something from them yesterday.[DOUBLEPOST=1544729496][/DOUBLEPOST]My package tracking status keeps on changing from

  • "Held by customs"

    2018-12-10 10:26:00 [GMT+8]
  • "Shipment with local shipping company"

    2018-12-10 10:26:00 [GMT+8]
Back and forth. I have a feeling it will be delivered in 2 weeks and this status will then change to delivered!

Did you try checking the tracking status through Indiapost website?

Glad Congress is bulking up.
But till date none of my AE shipments got ever mentioned as gift so how exactly will it affect?
Undervaluing is fine but it cannot be termed as gift. Gift means something for free irrespective of the declared value.

Now for gods sake this pathetic govt shouldn't come with a new rule such as only items up to 10k can be gifted and anything above it will be taxable. Then ever actors will only be able to gift something cheap anr desi. Imagine salman gifting fast track watch to srk and etc.:D:p

Guys does it makes sense ordering baking trays etc from AE weighting 900 gms to 1kg (after packing)
My wife needs one and theres this one at cheapest rate. Wanted to know before placing order and attracted by customs due to weight factor.

That will come in a large box from the looks of it. Don't know but might draw attention. It's always best to keep it to smaller sized items. Just my 2 cents mate.

It seems my package is going to be custom checked in Mumbai as now the status as

MUMBAI FOREIGN POST OFFICE Send item to customs (Inb)


So no customs check happened in Kolkata but will happen in Mumbai. Lets see.[DOUBLEPOST=1544893588][/DOUBLEPOST]Another Update, it "appears" to have cleared the Customs in Mumbai now. Don't see any message which says it "cleared customs" (not sure if there has to be one) but seems like it has. I am not yet sure if I will have to pay anything. Will get to know when post man comes. Here is a screenshot...

Sometimes when the shipment arrives at Customs of one place and then gets shipped to another state the updates get all messy with India Post with not the most accurate reflection of tracking details. In any case, I don't think there will be duty but you can only know once the Postman arrives with the package! Do keep us posted.

One of my shipments shipped via China Post Ordinary Small Packet Plus. even though I properly selected China Post Air Mail during item selection.

View attachment 77878

Here is what it says on my order page: China Post Air Mail
View attachment 77879

Shall I escalate this to seller or AE?

As I have paid extra for the tracking and still seller shipped it via untraceable courier.

Also the provided tracking site is totally in Chinese with no option for English. Even chrome is only able to translate it partially with important info still in Chinese.

http://intmail.11185.cn/zdxt/yjcx/[DOUBLEPOST=1544546325][/DOUBLEPOST]I shot a message at the seller and have asked to re-ship the item via proper shipping method else refund me the shipping amount.

The seller is asking to re-order and saying something related to Offline logistics ow what is that?

He is also asking for my PayPal account which I dont have.
And why should I even provide a Paypal when I paid via ICICI CC?
Cant seller refund directly into my ICICI a/c?

Guys need help in refund matter then I will reorder via another seller.

Just ask seller to refund to original mode of payment as paypal is expensive and has many fees. Seller will probably ask you to raise dispute - so raise dispute.
