10.3% tax is on the total amount after adding (Price + Custom + Shipping) or just on shipping...

ShopNShip has nothing to do with price. 10.3% is the service charge applied on the shipping charge+brokerage.

I didn't get you fully... The equation only denotes price of the product @ amazon & not what is finally charged by ShopNShip...

What brokerage are we talking about....

I have a shipment stuck in Guindy Hub ,Chennai . When i called them they told it was a pickup centre .Tracking the package shows:-

GUINDY CARGO (GDC),India 06/27/2011 09:58 Shipment Out for Delivery

I changed the address recently . i am not sure if the package has the correct address . Aramex office nos. are all messed up ..most of the nos. listed on the net are not working

Assuming the cost of above product 117$,the duty on phones is 14.71 % on customs assessed value approx. 21$ and the shipping charges are 10$ for 1st 500gms and 8 $ for every subsequent 500gms + 10.3 % service tax.

You have to pay 117$ to Amazon, Amazon will ship it to your NY SNS address. When Aramex receive it they will forward to your Indian address. Customs duty will be assessed by Customs based on market value and category of the product (Customs may or may not agree to your invoice value while assessing duty). Aramex will pay the duty on your behalf and clear the item from Customs. While delivering the item to your home they will collect the following from you:

i) Actual Customs duty paid by them

ii) Rs. 100 as brokerage for clearing the item from Customs

iii) Shipping charge as 10$ for first 500Gm and 8$ for subsequent 500Gm + 10.3% of shipping charge as service tax.
Hope I'm clear now!!

I request the ShopNShip representative to edit the first post in this thread and include their mode of operation in bold. That will save the members from a lot of confusion.

^... Ok now its clear....

@ShopNShip.. you mentioned the duty on phones is 14.71 % (& here approx. $21 for the mentioned product.)......... But 14.71% of $117 is ~$17-18 only...

Also one more thing. Say if a customer has a discount coupon (Not mail in rebate). Can it be used for his order by you to get to the better price....

@ ShopNShipIndia

Rather than addressing queries individually prepare a detailed guide on how to use your service and what services you provide and add that to your first post.

Have few more queries....

http://www.techenclave.com/shopnshipindia/custom-duty-related-queries-192375.html#post1850856

 

[uziel]

I imported one mobile phone from Shanghai, China. Aramex Shanghai threw out the battery and just shipped the phone to me. They said the China Government requires Dangerous Cargo goods certificate from the manufacturer of the battery to ship this battery out of China! Else without this certificate, the shipment will get held at China Customs. I dint understand China supplies mobile phone to the whole world, dont they ship battery with the phone? Whats the use of a phone without the battery? Aramex Shanghai was of no help as I called them so many time and due to language barrier, they never helped. So anyone importing anything from China that has a battery, please seek clarification before availing SNS offer.

Hi,

Can you give me a quote for this item: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B003VSGQPG/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

I want to buy from the 'used' category which at the moment is priced at $349.99 with free shipping from one of Amazon's vendor, 'Cambridge World'.

Thanks

 

[surya_neo]

My experience so far(this is the second time I am using SNS..first one went smoothly)

My item has not been delivered and kept on hold in Hyderabad office..saying that they have not received invoice from their head office..I contacted Karan Asrani...and he was very helpful..He spoke to some guys in Hyd and had arranged for delivery..But when they came for delivery..I was surprised to see that they were asking me to pay shipping charges which I already paid online(So think twice before making payment online)..the courier guy took back the item saying that they cannot deliver unless they receive email from head office that it has already been paid off..

Again I contacted Karan..was made to wait on the phone...heard some lady(Not Anuradha) talking to some of their folks asking for a resolution...after some time she asked Karan to send a mail to Hyd team confirming the payment and to make the delivery..

Then I got 2 mails..one from Karan and somebody else(Rama)...Now just few minutes back..somebody by George from their Hyd team called me saying that I need not pay anything and they will arrange for a special delivery today...

So now..waiting..fingers crossed...

Customer agrees to pay Aramex a setup fee of thirty five United States Dollars (USD 35) for the duration of the Agreement (the “Account Fee”)

This is additional charges & defeats the purpose for people who are not regular buyers from abroad but only occasionally buy stuff ..... Is this charge applicable for every customer...
