Can't remember the name of the guy....But the video was made in beautiful back drop of mountain range of leh ladakh..... View Towards China.

The agenda / slogan back then.. Something like...We Indian may not able to win war in front of Chinese bullet, but every Indian can fight back china with his wallet by not consuming any chinese goods....

The same week Govt start banning one by one Chinese App .....And this is the time Nov 2020 - as stated in the above post, India's banning drama started.

The name of that guy is Sonam Wangchuk. He gave a slogan of boycotting Chinese software in a month and boycotting the hardware in one year. (Total BS imo). He even had the audacity to make a follow up video praising Indian efforts.

“The sheer suddenness of the move, the unexpected nature of the move, the unpredictability of the move, the fact that there was no warning to the Chinese. They don’t know what hit them, now the Chinese will know that when we want to act, we shall act as WE WISH.” Mr Gooswami

That is how it works. You can select your Indian card and proceed, nothing happens. The second time you try to proceed, a pop-up comes up that orders cannot be delivered to India.

To reiterate, AliExpress does not have a block on Indian cards, only on Indian addresses. The first time, only the card is verified and hence there is no error.

Well, my order is somewhere in India and has been stuck there for the past two months. No way to track it, I guess.

EDIT:- Got scammed on eBay. Nice. My purchase is missing from my page.

Was it untracked or you didn't get an India Post tracking number after it landed here?

I used to track my aliexpress stuff on 17track.net
Supports a lots of country posts and couriers. Was also able to find India post tracking after item landed here, with the china post/NL post tracking number.

The latter. Got a message from the seller saying that my package got lost. Waited two-three months for it. He's offering to ship another one but at this point, I am not so sure if I should spring for it again and go through months of being impatient.
 
So, we ship from AliExpress to USA and then we forward to India. Is there a shorter route with good freight forward services? I wish there was a way to just forward our parcels from Singapore, Dubai or HK (if that isn't banned as well). I often order small inexpensive but niche items from AliExpress and sending them around the world seems a pretty counterproductive and uneconomical.

Use Aramex shop&ship from Hong Kong/China. If you're planning to buy expensive stuff get an IEC code. This will save a ton of money and time.

Whenever you import something the import duty will be charged based on the HS code of the product if you have an IEC code. This is good because most of the electronic stuff have 12-26% duty.

If the IEC code is not mentioned in the shipment then it's treated as imported for personal use and charged at a flat rate of 42% (corresponding to HS Code 9804*) irrespective of the actual category of the item. So you'll end up paying 4.2k on a 10k item if you import it without IEC code where as with IEC code you'll get it at 1.2k-2.6k(of course this depends on the actual category of the item).
