Importing Handsets From Usa For Rimweb Members

[prawin 2]

Hi all,

If dhl is the easier and trouble free method in shipping, i don't have any problem shipping from dhl .

[tanveer 59]

the memory you requested will cost you $59=2950 and here is the link for the memory (http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227267&CMP=AFC-C8Junction)

I hope we can find better deals. I had ordered a similar one last month for approx 30$ but due to some billing address problems it could not be completed

and how about the mail in rebate?

I found another link with less price here (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?nm_mc=AFC-SlickDeals&cm_mmc=AFC-SlickDeals-_-NA-_-NA-_-NA&Item=N82E16820227269&Tpk=N82E16820227269) +3.99 shipping to my zip 19713

yeah the mail in rebate takes time frame of 3-4 months and some times we may not get the mail rebate

looks better. though i hope that there will be better deals tomorrow onwards.

so no advantage of mail in rebates for us?

My dear Sumal, sure anyone can file a complaint with Customer Care if the handset / parcel being in Hold. And they do release the parcel after some formalities. Nothing to worry.

Regards.

yeah mail in rebate is that you have to pay full and cut the upc product code from the product package and mail them via post, its takes processing of 3-4 months and the will send the check of the mail-in amount . its a 50-50 shot of getting mail in, i haven't received mail-in for memory and logitech webcam sent 6 months from now, but i have received mail-in of $150 for my laptop. 70 percent of the people forget to fill and post. so most people here won't prefer mail-in.

so now the only problem that remains is the handset getting delivered to us safely..but wat dr.muddaf says is also rite..its not such an easy process.but is there no one in this forum who can guide us clearly on these customs hassles.

[Honest 836]

^^^

My dear Sumal, actually if the declaration of the product is correct then their won't be any problems even with DHL.

Thousands of Indians Import products from US without any hassels.

What do you think, that all their products / parcels been hold by them ? No.

its not as easy as it sounds........dont u think hetal and sadik must have though abt this long time back.......

My dear friend, conditions could be different with different people.

@kamal

bro i think in this case v shud listen to what these guys r saying ( hetal n sadikk) as they have a lot of experience in these things than us ......neither i and i think not even u have imported expensive equipment from US ....guys for custom hassle i think its better to ask sum1 who is experienced in these things rahter than just goin blindly for it and then repenting later .....

as far our forum is concerned u know who r experinced with these kind of issues .....so its better to ask them or for that matter anyone else who has imported expensive stuff from US ( specially phones not officially available in india)

@Dr. Mufaddal

My dear friend, here you are 100% wrong. I had seen many people importing mobile handsets from US to India without any hassles. Thats why I told that in my post.

Again I will say different people have different experience about this.

yup might be some wrong declarations.in these cases ebay is the best since our money gets refunded within a short span. What about thefts?any solution to that . Has anybody had an experience of loosing their handsets to theft cases while gettin it imported?.

i agree with kamal. Different people have had different experiences.. I think every courier that comes from us doesn get stuck. If that was to be case then there would have been no courier service between india and us.

[Mufaddal 678]

@kamal

my dear brother plz read my post once gain......where did i mention that dont get handsets or gadgetery from US?????? .it will get lost ?????......

SECONDLY i said its better to take advice about custom hassles from experienced people in this buisness rather than those who has no experience in it .........i know diiff people have diff issues but it is always advisable to ask them,,,,,what i always meant was to ask this people abt custom problems and how to get over them b4 ordering expensive things

also all i can say is at this moment it is imp that v order for less expensive stuff so that v can have a idea abt this thing rather than goin for expensive handsets and getting cuaght with sumthin

and i know a lot of people inport handsets thru ebay .......many of our forum mebers have done it ( i think even kshah got his treo this way) ....i m not saying that all parcels will get lost ....

i've been constantly requestin for help from the members(u can check my above posts) who have dealt with customs.but surprisingly there has been no comments bout that..

Hi Guys

I have imported 3 handsets and 1 bluetooth headset and declared the goods correctly and the price as well. Hence there was no problem at all.

Problem starts only if u do not declare the goods correctly or they have a doubt and check yr parcel. Else importing thru a reputed courier is risk free.

@Dr. Mufaddal

My dear friend, theirs no harm to take advice of anyone be it our co-members or be it anybody else.

But at the same time I just wanted to tell that if anyone declare the goods correctly then their would not be any problem with the parcel.

The problem will only be their if anyone FILES A FALSE DECLARATION.

And our beloved friend PRAWIN is so responsible person, that he will not let any of our co-member in problem.

Regards.

Declaring the goods correctly alone is not enough, the customs people should be convinced that the price declared is correct. Otherwise, they can assume a price for the goods as per current marked price and levy duty on you. I had imported a second hand EDGE/GPRS card from US for $49( $1 = Rs.40/- back then).The product and price were correctly declared. I even gave them a print out of the transaction statement as a proof for the price of product. Still had to pay Rs.900/- as tax for a Rs 2000/- item. ie a duty of 45%. It all depends on the customs guys and your luck.

Hi Prawin

Did you ship any item for anyone?

I am looking for HTC diamond or Diamond Pro without a contract for shipping thro USPS ( I think takes about 10 days to arrive here) . Diamond Pro is preferred but depends on price and affordability. Please find time to check. Diamond after launch of Pro seems to be going at real low prices.

Thanks
