Free DropShip offer from US first 1kg free - Till 31st DEC 2012

^^ As per their mail, the buyers need not register the purchase while making one via a private seller.


I am planning to get 2 lepai amps and 1 16awg wire through parts express of about 5 pounds. Does hogshopgo consolidate the packages ? Also, hows the shopping experience?

Yes, hsg does consolidates the package.
Register @ their site, and u need to be holding a paypal account for that. You can use their chat feature from their site, or simply ask your queries via customerservice@comgateway.com.

A member here already got his product within 3-4 days of it reaching their warehouse. let him reply once he reads your query.

Yep. That 1kg for being first shipment order is clear. Although it wd have been really nice had they allowed the customer to break their orders as per their requirements :p

I am not sure hw much business will they be getting after the initial spurt due to the coupon, but it surely has allowed them to grab attention.
 
HWhat amount can i expect to pay duty on ?


most probably i will be in the 28% slab but does DHL takes the amount on invoice or any amount like SNS is doing these days.
 
@agantuk : How much time do they take to process the shipment once its delivered? My package was delivered an hour or so back and their site says it may take up to 2 business days. :( I just hope its processed before 31st!

It took about 12 hours in my case. I first had to check manually if the package had reached by putting in the consignment number, and at that time it showed me the package was with them. Coincidentally, almost immediately after I did this check, I received a notification from them on the package being in my account. Once I checked out and paid, it was shipped in 6 hours. Travelled for around 40 hours and including customs clearance it was about 46 hours
 
Got updated in about 10 hours. Here is the split-up of the charges

Chargeable Weight - 2.5 kg (Thank you Amazon :mad:, actual weight 1.38 KG)

Shipping Charge - 30.37 USD (After 10% PayPal discount on 33.75 USD)
Fuel Surcharge - 4.56 USD (13.5% of the pre-discounted shipping charge)
Insurance - 1.15 USD

1kg free discount - 24 USD

Final amount that I had to pay 12.08 USD ~ Rs 690 at today's exchange rate
 
Did you guys signed up during the promo period (free shipping) or is this coupon equally applicable to previously registered accounts too?

It says

  1. This promotion is open to all PayPal account holders who are registered with HopShopGo in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Indonesia, Philippines and Vietnam.
  2. Register a HopShopGo account through this landing page and enter promo code PPLNOV10 during shipping checkout.
  3. Each account holder is eligible for one-time redemption only on a first come first serve basis. Any balance charges will be borne by the user.

Although it says that, I had registered in September before this offer started and I was still able to redeem the coupon.

Nice :bigok:

By the way, does any package forwarding service do international shipping for perfumes? HopShopGo doesn't seem to do that (neither does ShopnShip).
 
Yesterday I had ordered an item from NewEgg to test whether they will accept the order through V.me with an Indian CC, and the order went through. The item was shipped by UPS 2 day (Used ShopRunner :p) and would be delivered to HopShopGo in 2-3 days but I don't want the item at all (it costs just 0.5 USD)

HopShopGo will be able to discard the package for me right? Or will they force me to ship it?

You can try iBhejo or iShopInternational, they are not exactly package forwarders, but they will purchase the item on your behalf and deliver it your address in India.

iBhejo has listed many perfumes on their site, you can request for quote here -- ibhejo.com

IIRC doesn't hopshopgo have a package consolidation service. Wait till you order a few more items, consolidate all of them and get it shipped.

Yes, they do have a consolidation service. But as I said, I don't need the item at all, it was the cheapest item that I could find for testing whether I can order from NewEgg. :p
 
I have got 3 packages shipped to hopshopgo. I can see 2 of them in my list, one is already delivered. I am hoping I can see it tomorrow. The total weight of the packages is about 2kg.
Does they consolidate the packages by default? Also once all items are displayed, I can apply the coupon on the same day and ask for shipping?

When do we actually use the coupon?

Yes, upto 3 packages can be consolidated for free, each additional package will be charged 1 USD per package.
Not by default, when you proceed to ship the items, you can select the items you want shipped together, there you can select all 3 and it would be considered as a single consignment.
Yes, as soon as the package is reflecting in your account you can proceed.

Once you click on the "Ready to Ship" button, in one of the steps you will have the option to enter the coupon.

Ah damn it. What are people using as declared value for the Nexus 4? Would USD200 be ok?
