Vamos Posted October 13, 2023 Report Share Posted October 13, 2023 Planning to get an iPhone 15 PM through a friend from US. Is it okay if they get a sealed iPhone box directly without customs guys marking it? There’s mixed information regarding this. Some people said it’s totally fine to carry one sealed box, while some said it’s better to unbox. Any additional suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a terrible feeling to have someone else unbox and touch your brand new purchases. Better than getting a brick and then running behind clowns for a refund XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he gets it boxed it is considered as import and you are only allowed 45K, so if custom officer just fought with his wife or just lost a bet you are in trouble with a boxed piece. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s no customs frisking at the arrival, you’re green. Else you’ll have to pony up (above INR 50000 cumulative basis). https://old.cbic.gov.in/resources//htdocs-cbec/customs/guide-to-travellers.pdf Edited October 13, 2023 by Bird Bird Bird 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sale isn’t over, sale prices are. Don’t think there would be anything significant now. Just “sale” posted with usual prices, maybe 1000-1500 off on various CCs. Decent sale dates are during that starting 2-3 days of BBD/GIF. Rest all is just namesake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they try and deliver it to you, please ensure you check it out very very carefully (should be an OBD). Open, check physically, ensure it gets activated in front of you, check on Apples site with SN etc. High chance that the package is a goner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the order will be cancelled, as per my experience with FK BBD sale last year. Hope that it gets delivered to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
