Welcome to the club :D and good to hear that you can get the ipowerus shipped to India .I have been searching for the same badly from 3 weeks ,searched the entire of Singapore for it.
 
Did you have to mention any estimated value on the box ?

Notice they still did open it up for an 'inspection' :)

I will be getting the RE-252 as well ;) . No wonder your stuff got through customs easily .Good valuation by the companies :tongue:.
 
No, so let me clarify again.

It appears the shipper did not declare any value as in write it down on the box. So the customs did open it but still charged you nothing.
 
^ He hasn't posted the snaps of declaration slip .No shipment will come without a proper declaration made on the post office/ courier companies slip. Even if its a gift , one has to declare the commercial value of the item .

I'm amazed they did this on their own, they must have experience dealing with indian customers by now :D

I'm reading in the other thread that the total should not exceed $100 before duty kicks in.

Did not get the latter part of your sentence.

Every company 'takes care' of each individual order don't they ?

Not all .Some smaller /mid sized companies which take custom orders etc.(like the few guys on head-fi etc)consider special requests related to customs declaration etc.
 
Yeah, i guess the ones that don't, do not usually ship abroad otherwise i'm thinking it would be mandatory, then again India might be unique in this regard.
