AWB : 9081639991 || Product Weight- 400g || Category- Electronics || Value - 20$

I have been charged the following-

Bill 1- (Total Rs 569)
• Duty Charges -205 Rs
• Broker Fees - 300 Rs (Staggeringly high)
• Storage Charges -33 Rs
• Taxes on Broker Fees - 30.90

Bill 2- (I suppose this is the 10$ shipping bill)
• No description - 482.01 Rs

Now my question.

Even in the post above, you had declared that the charges will be Duty + ((10 USd for 1st 500 gms and 8 USd for every additional+10.3% service tax)), so what the heck is the Broker charges, which are 30% of the product's value!. That's even more than what Customs charged me for!!

My product cost me 920 Rupees, but the 482 Rupees and the 205 rupees are totally justified, but what about the Broker charges? I was charged Rs 50 the last time I used S&S but now it's 300 rupees?!

EDIT: Just received a mail from Anuradha Iyer that there might have been some error in the Brokerage part and that it will be refunded if there indeed is an error. Here's to hoping they return that 250 bucks!
 
hi,

please email this query at india@shopandship.com you query will be surely resolved. :)

Let me help you:

1. Yes you can.

2. There is no certainty about the duty part - I bought one and I was charged 27% duty. It depends on Customs whether they will allow it duty free or not.
 
Thank you, 27% OMG, Did you bring the sponsered edition? Does it show screensavers even in India? are the screensavers pre-programmed or they get downloaded once you connect through WiFi

I have the special edition Kindle. It downloads the ads over WiFi. If you do not want any ads at all, just don't ever connect it to WiFi. Personally I think the ads give the device a more 'alive' feel.
 
hi,
please refer ot the below quote :
cost :128.5$
duty : the duty charges on handwatches is 26.84% on customs assessed value that is approx..42$ and
shipping : the shipping charges are 10$ for the 1st 500gms and 8$ for every subsequent 500gms + 10.3%(service tax)

yes, we will surely mark it as a gift and try to get it duty free though cant promise. :)

Would it be possible for Shop-n-ship to just do the shipping + customs part? I mean if I can order a phone through a friend who is based in the US and he can forward it to your office, can SNS deliver it here to my local address in India?

So I'd be paying for my shipping and customs alone. Please let me know if this can be done. :)

Hey thanks! That'd be surely good. I'll definitely ask him to do so. :)

So if it is a mobile phone, how will the charges be? Customs at 1.3% of the price mentioned in the invoice and what about the shipping charges?

@shopnshipindia

I got a mail from SNS couple of days ago that a package has reached your office. But I have not ordered anything on my SNS address. So I raised a request on your site - PNQ/0811/1305 but haven't received any response yet. Meanwhile, my account shows that you have already forwarded it to Dubai Express Hub. And shipping charges are Rs. 507.38 :S
 
Hi,

It will still be 15%

I am trying to add US address into ebay. But is giving me following suggestion instead of your provided address:

My Name,

18221 150th Ave, *****,

Springfield Gardens, NY, 11413-4010, US

Do I need to add this address? Or the one given by you?

Edit:

Ebay has accepted the following address after some modification done according to the suggestions given on previous pages of this thread:

My Name

18221 150th Ave, Springfield Gardens

*****

New York NY 11413

United States

Is this okay? Please suggest the proper address if any modification is necessary. I am not much aware about the ZIP codes. So that's confusing me.
 
^ On US sites, go with the suggested address. These sites get the standard addresses from the USPO and are hence reliable.
