Ebay.com and India shipping from China

[mantheman]

I've test-ordered some stuff from ebay.com and the sellers are from China and the tracking number given to me is tracked from Topyou. So who is going to deliver it from India?
Anyway is it okay to order it from ebay.com to India? Does it create problems from Chinese sellers?

IndiaPost, does not cause issues. Other than the challenges around tracking. It gets delivered.

IndiaPost,

So the original tracking ID does not work on India Post. Am I getting new Tracking ID once it is handled in India or, Same tracking ID will work once it reached India?

Options to get stuff shipped from China...Lets discuss

I have opened this thread to seek opinion on people who already do or intend to import stuff from China where you can buy almost every thing at really competitive rates. Ofcourse, we are talking about original brands and replicas too. Based on all this, what I have figured out in last few days...

Just use 17track.net for tracking. You will not get any additional tracking on India Post even after it is handed over.

Sometimes they get delivered by Delhivery/DTDC as well. Happened to me couple of times (different couriers on Ebay China Sellers)

Nope. It goes radio silent once India post takes over. Majority of the times, they reach you.

We had similar discussion in the past. Check the thread link posted above.
