Uk shipping to india - advice please - Off-topic

Hi
I need to ship an item (Touch HD) to India but don't know where to start with regards looking for a shipper.
Has anyone else advice they can share?
Thanks
Andrew

I bought a Tilt from USA, it was shipped through USPS to Pakistan via priority mail international and reached here on 15th day.
so you use the Royal post or something similar.

DHL or FedEx should not take more than a week! 15 days is too much..

Some known intl couriers like DHL, Fedex would do the needful, if you are careful about money go for Royal shipping. BTW which state you want to ship to. You should be careful about the state as it depends on that as well how much time is that gonna take. Good Luck.

I'm pretty certain Royal Mail won't insure mobile phones sent abroad, certainly to India anyway.
Do be very careful on choice of carrier, and insure that they do specifically cover postage of Mobile phones as many do exclude them.
Also, if your taking payment by paypal, ensure it can be electronically tracked as you'll need electronic proof of delivery in the event that the buyer claims non-receipt.

*Thread moved*
The market place is for selling / buying and trading only.
Advice will have to be sought in the off-topic forum.
Thanks
Dave

OK Thanks Dave, and thanks guys for your suggestions too

online stores shipping TyTn II to Canada

Eh? I sold my TyTN tonight, using my old 8125 -- Ready to order the Kaiser...
The question is - What online stores ship the Kaiser to Canada?
clove.co.uk should be fine.
Anywhere else that's slightly cheaper?
http://www.superiorgadgets.com
They are located in Toronto. Paul, the seller, is a really great guy. That is how I bought my Qtek S200
for more stores in Canada (although I think thats basically it) go to http://www.howardforums.com and look in the marketplace section. Although I havent heard from him in a while, check out Mad Monkey Boy
anymore? i hear people getting it for 800$
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&Item=170147807464&Category=64355&_trksid=p3907.m29
Buy It Now will include SH + Insurance to Canada
check pm....
you can get it for around $800 If you buy from a US retailer, the problem becomes if customs checks it and then dings you for the import fees and taxes so be careful. www.expansys.ca also has it and for some reason doesn't charge the full tax amount. If I am getting mine in canada, Paul is easy to deal with especially if you are in the GTA cause you can do local pickup which makes returns very easy to deal with if there is a problem.
I would and did use SuperiorGadgets. They will ship free in canada, there is no duty or import taxes and by the time you convert $800 us its almost the same anyways. You do have to pay the 6%gst. Also if you have a problem you only have to send to Toronto not to Europe.
none of the stores mentioned above have them in stock.... i cant stand this 8125 device.
First time poster, long time reader/enjoyer of this great forum.
I would second superiorGagets.
I had a terrible experience with expansys telling me 2 days avail. so I would buy it. Then they put me back a whole week after I commited to it.
SuperiorGadgets is up front and holds their customers very highly
i guess i will have to wait...

Diamond for £399.99 from Play.com

I have been waiting patiently to get one on a contract from O2 but I have not heard any news regarding the UK release and I'm beginning to lose patient + the price from Play.com is extremely attractive.
Perhaps I will wait until the iPhone 3G comes out in the hope that the price will come down further
It's £394.99 with this offer...
Tempted to go for it - but then I'm due for a renewal soon with T-Mobile.
Anyone know whether the upgrade from T-Mobile will be free or do they evaluate each case individually?
Just a friendly warning, my experience with Play.com is extremely bad... When they said they sent stuff out, they actually hadn't, delivery weeks later than agreed to, unfriendly/unknowledgable support, etc.
Then again, that might have been a fluke, instead of their general way of dealing with things. After that one time I never ordered from them again
I find Play.com pretty good for stock accuracy! It just ussually takes an extra day due to being in Jersey. I am still waiting on the batteries, but everytime it gets to the release date they change it!! very annoying, But ussually when it says in stock it is!! in my experience anyway!!
If i hadn't already got one! i'd defo be ordering from here!!

I have been using Play.com for the last 8 years and never experience a single problem with them. All my orders were always delivered on time (witin 5 working days), I reckon your case must of been a one-off
You should give them a second chance
I've just replied in another thread regarding play.com
Since they are based in Jersey (a tax free zone) the customers are liable for paying all VAT taxes if the phone gets held up at customs. This is clearly stated in their Terms & Conditions.
2ndly, I called HTC UK the other day and they told me play.com isn't an authorised dealer so you won't get full UK warranty. I'm serious.. a girl at HTC told me...
be careful guys.
well i got a gray import from HK and he gives a 12 month guarantee lol my HTC guarantee is worth nothing anyway after i flashed it, so i will that the £60 i saved (it was about 340 GBP) a spend it if anything does go wrong...

From HM Revenue & Customs website:
Goods purchased from traders in Jersey and Guernsey
Customs has in place with the Jersey and Guernsey Customs and Postal authorities a special scheme that allows many of their traders to collect and pay to UK Customs import VAT on sales they make to UK customers. These traders, who are approved by the Jersey and Guernsey authorities, are allocated a unique authorisation number and this should be stated on the outside of your package. Under these arrangements you will be asked to pay import VAT, if applicable, at the time you make your purchase, and will not have to pay any additional costs such as import VAT, or the Royal Mail handling fee, when you receive your goods.
Unless I misread it, I believe you don't need to pay any import VAT on it.

Sorry, but she's talking crap. HTC offer a global warranty for all their own branded devices, but it doesn't cover shipping costs, and this even covers the ones sold on grey import by expansys.
So worst case scenario, you have to pay for the courier to Milton Keynes and back....not exactly the end of the world!
And as for Play.com, I have been using them for years, and bought all sorts of stuff from them. never had to pay import duties, even on an xbox 360, and only ever had one problem, which the remedied as soon as the item was back in stock. Play are actually one of the better and more trustworthy online retailers out there.....
And besides, if your address is registered in the UK, they charge you VAT anyway....they seem to be one of the ones under that customs scheme mentioned above somewhere.
Dammit.... was just on Play.com, credit card in hand and its gone up to £429! Ragin, I missed the offer!
Still cheaper than most places though!

LOL they are cheapest because they offer free delivery...now when you got it after ordering is another thing altogether.
DanGlee, i just saw it for £410 on http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/16495.htm
There may still be cheaper, that's just the cheapest i've seen so far.
Too late...
I went and ordered it from HandTec (www.handtec.co.uk) because it uses Google Checkout, makes my life that little easier!
It cost £425. So not too bad, most places are all around that price...
I'll be on this site now for the next week after I get it going through the forum and configuring it... I hope since I ordered it so late its the latest ROM!
Look forward to plenty of "OMGs this phone is wrecking my head" and "OMG I love it" replies
(word of warning, I'm coming from a Motorolla KRZR to Diamond WM6.1... there will be a learning curve... but it can't possibly be any worse that the yoke I have now!)

I agree with that, and the Diamond has 2 years cover from what I read.
With all this glob-trotting around it makes sense to offer worldwide cover.

Well if they are uk spec then it will have the latest rom on it but like yourself i was a noob coming from a nokia n95 8gb symbian phone but ive enjoyed learning about this phone.
Just make sure the first thing you do is APPLY THOSE TWEAKS in the tweak thread...it will make it a hell of alot more better. ITs a shame that you have to apply those tweaks to make this phone really shine..should come like that but it seems like HTC just wanted to get the phone out asap.
Feel free to ask any questions if you have any problems...its the only way your gonna learn but before i got my phone..i read through most of the threads here so when i got the Diamond...i had a bit of a head start.
BTW thats a damn good price you got yours for..i paid £445 for mine from clove.
Doe anyone know if HTC diamond sold by play.com is a UK version or a grey import?

Ordering From UK Clove

ok can someone please tell me what kind of duties you pay when u order from clove from the uk to usa? i want to know should i order there or order from expansys usa. expansys usa is charging like 940 for the unit where as clove uk with the conversion rate is about 760
thanks
u pay the straight price and shipping only.
I was also considering buying from them, but would appreciate feedback from anyone who's dealt with them. How is their service? How quickly do they action (dispatch) your order? Do they charge you immediately, or when they dispatch?
Thanks.
My shipment was delayed by 1-2 days since they required some additional confirmation of my shipping address in the US (another complication was I was shipping to WORK, different from my billing address!)
I emailed them asking about my order, at which point they said 'oh yea we require some additional infor since you're a "first time customer"', so I sent them a copy of a random bill, and a copy of the top of my paystub (since it had my work address on it -- they didn't ask for this). Said I was good to go and they shipped it later that day...
however I anticipated receiving (via DHL) this afternoon -- tracking now says its "on hold" -- I called DHL, and the phone did not clear customs. Apparently DHL did not add it to the cargo manifest so it was not cleared while in the air. Plane lands, they unload, have no record of customs clearance so they hold it. I had to send DHL a copy of my 1040, and apparently they do customs clearing late at night, which means my X1 is hanging out in Ohio right now (I'm in ATL); hopefully it gets moving, and FAST, once they clear it. But they said that could take 1-2 business days.
I am going to NYC on Wednesday, I REALLLLY want the X1 before then (you know, Google Maps n stuff )
But the Clove price was GREAT! Anticpated paying much more, especially considering other retailers are listing in the 8-900s+, where I thought I would have to be paying...

I ordered from Clove and they were awesome. Excellent communication, great price and delivered as promised. They notified me ahead of time about the credit card verification process (which is a good thing) so that didn't slow my order down. Other than that catch ordering through them, it was a smooth, easy transaction.
I ordered back at the beginning of October and didn't ship immediately so I can't comment on the processing time to ship for in stock items. However, I got an email on 10/20 saying my X1 would ship on 10/27 and they were right on. Also, my card was not charged until it was shipped.
Bottom line, I'd highly recommend them on price, service and quality. Not to mention super fast DHL 2 day shipping from the UK (for impatient people like me).
Hope that helps
Clove was perfect. i had preorders on two other sites that were selling for $950-1000. 425 L + 37 L shipping = 462 L total. In USD, it translated to $739.77. $250+ cheaper than mobileplanet (expansys) or mobilecityonline.
ordered on oct 22nd. received an e-mail on friday the 24th regarding incoming inventory and authorization of credit card, shipped out monday morning the 27th, and received the 29th of wednesday in CT.
interestingly, the box is not sealed (i.e. didn't have the sticker that says nobody has opened it before). did anybody else's have one of those?

I noticed there was no seal too but completely forgot about it when I saw the X1, lol. It looked like they threw in a couple little fliers/ads for software and accessories so maybe that's why.
nice i wanted to know this also given that i was thinkin about ordering from clove also so how much in total were you goes getting them and what kinda shipping did you pay and get overnight? 2 day
read my post? it's all answered there.
I ordered with Clove on the morning of the 24th (this monday), they stated that i would be getting the device on the 30th or 31th (they should be getting stock on the 29th), i just found out now that they're only getting stock on the 12th of November and i had to ask why my order wasn't shipped yet. They didn't warn me before hand that i wasn't getting my order on the date they stated...
I ordered from Clove, UK.
1. I ordered it last Sat online (before the stock dried up )
2. Called early Monday and had some trouble trying to get my Credit card company to give Clove the authorization number (Clove needs it to verify buyer but my CC company doesn't allow distribution to anyone. Finally, Clove just sent it out anyway). I got it WED!!!! No issues with Customs, etc.
3. I paid $712 for the phone (unbranded/unlocked) and 2 Day DHL shipping (which is almost $300 less than other competitors). It was a retail version and brand new.
4.. Their customer service was outstanding, really tried to help me get this phone. They shipped within hours of CC authorization and approval. I got Tracking Number within hours also. They if anything, are too cautious (thats a good thing) with their verification of orders.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND, VERY HONEST SELLER.

I ordered on the 27th of October (I think you meant 27th as well) and haven't gotten any email update yet. Which worries me because now I have to wait as well....uugggh.. Feel like ordering somewhere else then but they say patience is a virtue... T_T
EDIT: As far as a company I ordered from them my Touch Pro back in August and had no issues with the service. Just wish the x1 was more widely available.
Clove The Best !!
I ordered my X1 on friday 10/24, had to call cc company to verify purchase.
received my phone yesterday 10/29.
excellent company and customer service !!
Cost $ 765 with DHL international.
Highly recommended !!
much better than Expansys who tried to charge me $965 for the phone, then tried to tell me that Clove is not a good company when i cancelled their order.
Cheers.
Did Clove tell you to call your CC company or did you do this on your own?
Clove sucks.
I pre-ordered on October 8th thinking that I was assured a unit. Sadly I was mistaken. On Tuesday I had sent an email wondering what had happened to my unit. They replied asking me to send them a recent credit report or transaction number from my credit card company. I choose to send the transaction number since it seemed a safer solution. After checking my credit history I was amazed to see that I was yet to be charged. I sent an email telling them I could not send a transaction number since no transaction was placed, and decided to fax them a credit report stating my address. A day later they emailed me and offered their condolences as they had sold out of Black units and said that the people who confirmed the security check first would receive them first as there was a lot of demand. I told them they had only sent me a security check after requesting information as to the whereabouts of my order. They of course told me all security checks emails were sent out on the same day. This is absolutly absurred.
So to clarify:
-I ordered on the 8th of October
-First batch came in on the 24th
-They sold out on 27th
-Received email for security check on 28th
-Sent security check on 29th (early in the morning)
-Declined first batch on 30th
-Promised (?) a unit on the next shipment, November 12th.
My question is how they can advertize a product for pre-order if they sell the units on a first come first serve basis. Their clumpsyness is unactable.
Well I just got off the phone with Expansys. They tried to switch my order to a US order to "stop me from paying duties and customs taxes." The guy also told me that they always ship US orders from their UK store from the US and Expansys currently has 300 back orders right now.
The last part is the only bit of truth I got out of him. I've ordered from Expansys UK before and it came from the UK and I didn't have to pay any taxes. All he was trying to do was make me pay the higher price on the US website and wait longer. What a crock of #$%^
Long story short, I'm keeping my order with Clove even if I have to wait until Nov 12th for it to ship out. I might try eBay but I don't know if I'm going to risk it not to mention the prices are way too high.

So are you saying that if you ordered from the UK expansys you wouldn't get it anytime? Or are u saying that the US expansys has 300 back orders?
+1 for Clove.
I ordered a TP back in August over a weekend, they processed the transaction on Monday (I sent them an email with the 6-digit transaction number for confirmation) and shipped it out same day. It missed the outbound DHL flight that night but was on its way the next day; had the TP in my hands by 11am Wednesday, west coast US.
For clarification, Clove needs you to confirm your CC only if you're a new customer. This is so that they don't end up exporting the phones to bad orders (black market, etc). As long as you've got your billing/shipping info all straight with your CC issuer (you might also call ahead to let them know to expect the charge in GB Pounds), there should be no major problems, except waiting for stock to arrive.

The guy was very vague and when I'd ask him to clarify he kept asking me how I wanted it shipped (Ground, 2 day, or Next Day)?!?! He made the statement that Expansys had 300 back orders (I would assume UK since the US store is still a preorder). He also said that they are supposed to get more next week but that the shipment wouldn't be enough to fill all the back orders. He was basically telling me that anyone in the US that ordered form the UK store really ordered from the US store (they would hand off the transaction to US). I should have hung up and called back when he said that because that is a lie.
Bottom line I don't know what the call really accomplished except that this guy was trying to scam me. I am inclined to believe the 300 back orders because of the demand for the phone. Take it with a grain of salt though.
I thought it was slightly strange that with all the demand for the silver one they had 100+ listed this morning. I'm going to call them and see if they actually have some in stock or if they are just lying.

[Q] Where to NOT buy white Note?

I can answer my own question... NOT FROM SIMPLYELECTRONICS.NET
Why?
Trying to deal with them has been harder than performing brain surgery in the dark with one hand tied behind my back.
Ordered a white Note on January 25th. They needed extra identity verification (aka the documents they need to defraud me a month from now). I order from B&H all the time with orders exceeding $2,000 without having to verify my identity.
Fine, I played their game, January 28th rolls around and it can't ship till next week because they are backed up. I tell them forget it, to cancel it, and I will get it from someone else who can do business professionally.
Between January 28-30. I have FOUR comfirmation email cancelling my order from TWO diff reps and from the
[email protected]
email. Now today, February 2, I receive an email that my order has shipped and here is your tracking number...
Scammers folks. Terrible customer service. Been sitting on the phone for ONE HOUR trying to talk to someone live....no one will pick up. No one is returning my emails. I just filed for fraud on my credit card, I will refuse the package when it arrives, telling you guys here, and also prepping my attorney for anything.
SimplyElectronics.net is not professional, not prompt, sketchy, involved in fraud throughout Europe, and by far the worst company I've ever dealt with.
I pretty much agree with you.
I ordered an HTC Flyer last August. It took about two weeks before they sent it out. The tracking code was emailed two days after shipping the parcel. And then DHL decided to f*ck up the delivery - returning the parcel to UK. After a month and a dozen emails I finally got my money back.
On November I noticed that they were selling the Flyer very cheap - around 330€ for the 3G model (here in Finland it's 700€) so I decided to order it again. A few days after the payment I was asked for identification which I sent immediately. Two days after this I was informed that ALL of the 3G Flyers were "damaged" during delivery and couldn't be sold. That's bull****. Another few weeks of waiting and I got my money back.
And then the Note. It took a week to send it, even though the web page says it will be shipped in 1-2 days. Eventually got my Note but it's an HK model and there was no pre-filled warranty card included. So no chance of a possible warranty service here then.
Simplyelectronics appears to have little to none physical stock - all they do is hunt cheap items, ship them to the UK and off to customers. If they advertise a price and run into problems and are unable to purchase the item for a cheap price, they come up with an excuse like the damaged boxes with the Flyer. Different camera forums have also reported similar behaviour.
I won't be purchasing anything from Simplyelectronics anymore.
@justus... I just don't understand why you went back to the same company to do a business again after you experienced hick ups with them... But you dealt with them again buying a note from them ?? I JUST CAN'T SEE ANY VALID REASON AS TO WHY YOU KEPT WENT BACK TO THEM AND GO THROUGH THESE HASSLES YOU DESCRIBED... JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND... REALLY, YOU JUST HAVE TO BLAME YOURSELF FOR GOING BACK TO THAT UNPROFESSIONAL COMPANY FOR A BUSINESS...
FOR ME, IF THAT HAPPENED TO ME.... THAT WILL BE END OF DEALING WITH THEM... THATS IT.... THERE ARE HEAPS OF OTHER RETAILERS OUT THERE SPECIALLY IN ENGLAND WHERE I PURCHASE MY GALAXY NOTE AND NOT ONLY AT GOOD PRICE BUT ONLY TOOK 4 DAYS TO SHIP TO AUSTRALIA....
YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH ONLY 4 DAYS IN SHIPPING TO AUSTRALIA FROM ENGLAND.. I MEAN DOMESTIC PARCEL TAKES AROUND 4 DAYS...

Because at that time they were one of the very few offering the white Note, and since they ship from UK I was able to avoid VAT.
I got mine from Expansys uk. I did have to verify my address but I haven't ordered from them before. Next day delivery though and I was very pleased.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Also ordered mine from eXpansys. Great support, friendly and quick staff. Also, even though online system told me estimated availability was 2-5 business days, I received my package overnight ... and we are talking international shipping!
I am in no way affiliated with eXpansys, nor do I receive monetary compensation for posting my experiences ;-) Just wanted to do a shout-out for awesome service.

how to Ship nexus 7 from USA to Singapore?

Hi guys,
My friend living in the States bought a nexus 7 for me. I am in Singapore. What is the best way to ship it to me without heavy cost?
USPS won't ship the tablet as it has a battery. Any idea? Thanks.
FedEx... UPS...
Your shipping international i don't think it will ever be as cheap as it is to ship in the states or to Canada
Try DHL also
I would call UPS, Fedex, and DHL to get quotes. Or check their websites. Weight is 1.7 lbs, and just estimate dimensions at... 12x8x6 inches to get a ballpark. Not sure what the actual measurements for size are.
thanks
thanks. hopefully they don't mind shipping tablet which has a battery inside.
I will ask my friend to call them and ask for the quotations.
thanks a lot.
I have shipped 2 nexus 7 back to Singapore with USPS,some more my friends don't even change the initial packaging box from UPS. Shipment cost is not cheap either, advise you to remove the UPS box and repack with thinner box . Received my 2 parcels one from Dallas and the other from las Vegas.
Received them within 5 days
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
Any 1 managed to shipped it? Whats the price?
Could order and use a forward shipper like Borderlinx?
Doesn't Singapore Post (or whatever the post office there is called) offer some sort of forward freighting service as well with a US address?
I lived in Singapore and the Philippines for years. The absolute cheapest and best way is the APO/FPO/DPO route thru the USPS.
Do you know any US military or Embassy employees/contractors you trust? I always used the USPS office at Sembawang wharves.
EDIT: If USPS won't ship with the batteries, I wonder how hard it would be to remove. I know the back cover comes off super easy. Then you could pick some replacements up downtown. The battery restriction is an international mail carrier agreement.
