Import help for All Legal ways of getting Games

Hmm, I am not sure. The customs guys will definitely fail this googly -

Taking a bribe is your constitutional right. (True/False) :tongue4:

Got Oblivion GOTY Edition thru EMS speedpost hoping that no customs will be charged...but they charged 600 bucks :'( ... Total game cost - 2500 + 800(shipping) + 600 ( customs) = ~4k :'(

 

Edit : play-asia ... btw...

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?

[MarketTantrik 491]

^^ 40% duties on landed cost (which includes the cost of shipping).

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.

[MarketTantrik 491]

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.

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.

Is YESASIA reliable???

How much do they charge for shipping if i want it within 10 days??

What about the danger of customs??

 

Plz answer abovequestions.

Kthnkbye.

[MarketTantrik 491]

Yes Asia is okay. But shipping can be a bigger issue than what we've seen with Play Asia.

[ceoshubham 6]

WHAT????

That means yesasia too is out.

My only hope now rests on jackhammer.

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.
