Nevermind, got a call saying its been delivered :D had to shell out total 132 only.
 
Re: ZTE Blade aka Orange San Francisco aka Dell XCD35 / 100 GBP / Approx 8.5k in Indi

Im confused folks. Where is the shipping charge here in the Rs 82 ? Is paying by cash the only option when they deliver the item ?
 
Re: ZTE Blade aka Orange San Francisco aka Dell XCD35 / 100 GBP / Approx 8.5k in Indi

^ The duty is Rs 82 and there will be broker fee of Rs 50. Total 132.

The shipping charge they forget to collect for everyone! :p Lol In my case, they usually call the next day and send someone to collect it.

You can pay directly by Bank Transfer too if you want. Check with them on how to do that.

It's only the duty. They forget to collect shipping charges in most cases, though they might call again in 2 days and collect it.

Oh man, the shop and ship business will run on loss if they do this. And they might close shop, thus taking out our best option :)

Borderlinx is nice in that respect, they just inform you and billl your credit card on file.

With Dell dropping the prices of Dell streak to 400USD, I think that would be next best thing to order after ZTE Blade. I'm sure that within a month or two Dell XCD35 prices will stabilize around Rs. 12k mark in India.

got the phone :) the custom duty paid slip that they gave had a combined pricing of other items :p I paid 1045 rs total to aramex for the shipping + custom + broker fees + tax.

bw, what is the process to unlock the phone, and how to find out if the display is AMOLED?

Re: ZTE Blade aka Orange San Francisco aka Dell XCD35 / 100 GBP / Approx 8.5k in Indi

In my account the shipping charge is shown as Rs.460 - there will be coustoms in addition to that - so total charges should come out around 600 I suppose.

Ya Rs 460 + 10.3% tax ~ Rs 510. Customs + handling charge approx Rs 150.
 
Re: ZTE Blade aka Orange San Francisco aka Dell XCD35 / 100 GBP / Approx 8.5k in Indi

Should be in my hand tomorrow - cleared out of Customs - waiting to be shipped from mumbai
 
Re: ZTE Blade aka Orange San Francisco aka Dell XCD35 / 100 GBP / Approx 8.5k in Indi

Some people paying more for shipping, some less, why so ??
Also now can we order from prepay mania UK without the risk of order cancellation ??
If not then what other option does one have for best deal ?
 
Re: ZTE Blade aka Orange San Francisco aka Dell XCD35 / 100 GBP / Approx 8.5k in Indi

Some people had their package 0.4x kg in weight, some had 0.5x kg, so they had to bear cost of additional 0.5kg which is $8.

Don't take risk with prepaymania, as you'll lose money for conversion if they cancel.

Try on ebay and in 2-3 days, prices must come down, after Christmas to almost the same level as prepaymania, ~110 GBP.
