aamiracle 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 What if I buy a XBOX 360 from foreign country and get that marked as a gift with different packaging will it attract customs? If yes, then how much custom duty will I be charged? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lastAvenger 49 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Hey! My x360 unlocker kit has still not arrived :/ I had ordered it on 22nd Dec and they processed it on 28th Dec saying its been shipped through International Air Mail. By tomorrow the shipping would have become almost 15 days old. What should i do ? the unlocker kit itself is quite small so i am sure that i shouldn't be charged any customs. Btw this is the website >> http://www.xbox-modchips.com/ In a hypothetical situation where even waiting for it for the next 2 weeks it doesn't arrive what should i do ? Should i call my cc company and report for fraud :S Oh! and the website is pos because these idiots never reply back to any of the emails. I have opened two tickets which still haven't been responded beyond their grace period of 72 hrs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarketTantrik 491 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 The normal waiting period for regular int'l shipping is 20 working days. Wait for another couple of weeks and then file for charge reversal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lastAvenger 49 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 I just checked my email and today they have emailed me telling me again that my order has been processed and gave me the reference of the airline. Are they retards ? Why the f**k did they tell me then on 28th that my order was processed and shipping has been done through Internation Air Mail.

MarketTantrik 491 Report post Posted May 4, 2008 Yes Asia is okay. But shipping can be a bigger issue than what we've seen with Play Asia. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

punit 0 Report post Posted May 5, 2009 Help neededIf I order a game online and get it delivered at my relative's place in US, what would be the best (optimal) way to get it shipped from their to India? Thanks a lot fellas Cheapest option to ship from US to India would be USPS First Class Mail International Package Service - $9.85 for 1 pound package - http://ircalc.usps.gov/IntlMailServices.as...mp;O=0&sd=1 If your package exceeds that weight, use this calculator to see the various options - http://ircalc.usps.gov/default.aspx?Mode=I...e&CID=10197 Flat Rate boxes can be cheap option too but the shape of the box is fixed and the weight it can carry is also limited. If there is any other cheap option that somebody knows in this forum, please let me know as well. I have tons of stuff lying in different cities of US. My hope always rests on one of the cousins/friends visiting India. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
