@mjumrani as @agantuk pointed out, SnS is always based on actual weight and couple of instances i've been charged wrong weight(again its not on volumetric weight). But you can ask them to recheck the weight and they do once it reaches mumbai and charge accordingly.[DOUBLEPOST=1368090472][/DOUBLEPOST]

In that case you were charged wrongly, I would have raised a dispute with them, because actual shipping weight has been their USP for long.

Or check your weighing machine and change it if required :p

Wow thats absolutely impressive. Even more so considering the Nook now has the Play Store too. Would really consider it now but I've already ordered another tablet for myself :)

ya got a phone worth 20$ but it seems customs now charges on market price and doesn't care for paypal invoice or anything else. ended up paying 1200 as customs and shipping for it which is equal to the price of the phone :/

Can anyone suggest the approximate duty on Digital Camera? Someone told me its close to 30% so say if I get a digital camera from US for around $400-450 then what would be the duty on that? And what is the approximate shipping? I think the camera would weigh appx. 600-800grams so 1kg max.

Guys my friend is in US and wants to send some stuff to me like PS4, gfx card etc. Possible to use SnS in this scenario. Also how much is the custom duty on gaming consoles?

If you are getting it for free then only it is a worthwhile deal. Duty on gaming consoles and other electronics is 28.XX%

If possible, can point me to the relevant page on SnS' site? I am trying to get my laptop, which we discussed on the other thread, to India. Not really ideal but trying to find every alternative. Ppobox clearly say they use volume weight, so just confirming this one.
And just wondering UPS says 3.6 kgs for shipping from Lenovo to the location. As per their site, they also rely on volumetric weight. So that should give me a fair idea of things?
