whats your budget , do you want the captivate or vibrant and by budget i mean final price you are willing to spend on the product , keep about 1.5k aside for customs + aramex charges.

here is a good deal for whoever wants to bite.

@cisco_tech, Service Bulletin: Random Shutdown Issues on AT&T Captivate

Take a look at this.

 

[su30mki117]

What will be the total charges including shipping (approx.) if I take the ebay route?

I can see that most of them have been listed for between $250 and $300. So it will be somehwere about Rs.13500 just for the phone. What will be the shipping charges?

 

[memnom]

Mostly around 800. Tax around 140 or so.

AFAIK the random shutdown affected very few phones and that too was fixed by the software update. At the time when i fell each one of us is installing custom ROM's on their captivates, this should not be the issue. Mine was also manufactured before Nov,10 but touchwood I never faced any shutdown problems.

 

[buddingwhizkid]

810 + 10% tax so 900 + 100 (brokerage) + 1.03% customs on actual value of new phone (~450 $) [200 rs] = 1200-1300

 

[tech.addict]

^^ Now-a-days Customs is charging ~5% taking the assessable value of the phone as 20k - 22K. This was the case for last three import of mine. They don't care what value you declare or what paper you supply.

So, duty comes to ~1.2K and shipping is around 850 (if the weight is more 500 gm, which is almost always). So, the minimum amount for customs and shipping comes to around 2K.

@memnon : did they charge 1.3% on your cellphone ?????

 

[rkkaranrk]

Just got the details of custom and shipping, customs 391 and shipping 1300 as the parcel weight approx 2.7 lb.

Custom is is charged @1.3%

 

[veer_singh]

1.3% is Super cool , my 3phones are on the way [2captivates+1vibrant] :hap2:

 

[rkkaranrk]

Yeah its cool but i am still not sure how tte custom charges came to 391/- coz if they charged me 1.3% on 15k it should be 195/- or if they charged me 5.3% on 15k it should have come to 800/-.

What about the accessories i got a desktop charger a car holder with in build charger a cover 8GB sandisk card and a extra battery, Do they charge you custom duty on this also ?

 

[tech.addict]

^^ Check the customs duty assessment paper that they have given you. All details are there (assessable value, rate of duty charged).

 

[rkkaranrk]

I know the details are on the custom paper but I haven't received the shipment got these details from aramex. Most probably will get the delivery tomorrow.

 

[veer_singh]

^^^ update us , I think they considered your phone at 20000rs

 

[viditkalra]

There are custom charges, then tax, brokerage charges and at times there are storage charges of around Rs 30 as well.
