    Sheeesh! That was quick - half a million, let's go!

    Anyone remember this hashtag?

    #ON-THE-WAY-TO-1-MILLION!!

    Who doesn't?

    ON-THE-WAY-TO-1-MILLION

    We're getting there! And the beauty is, we're just getting started.

    Doing it on mobile is hard though, refresh button is on top hidden.

    I tried once and it was a nightmare. never agaain

    Well it's hard but nothing better to stay connected on the go or while in the bed.

    I've seen @MrEd trying it once and he ranked 6 or smth very close to the first 5, I was impressed

    He is quite good with mobile usage, and I mean it.

    So, dude, heard you got a backpack coming your way. Congrats!

    Yup will be shipped in the next batch. Hope it arrives in one piece 😂

    The packaging was damaged a bit on mine, but, 0 damage to the backpack.

    Blame the airport staff for that.

    Not the airport staff the customs department check each parcel by opening them. Idk but almost all my parcels were opened and taped.

    Yah, that does happen, but, the damage to the outer box is mostly from mishandling by airport staff. This is esp. true for packages shipped through non-DHL,UPS, Fedex services, eg.- USPS.

    My aramex packages arrive in good condition though, just opened and tucked back. Nothing more nothing less. Just sometimes too much cess and import duty on top of tax.

    I've had great experience with Aramex as well. Cheaper rates, and at times, cheaper duties as well.

    Yup aramex is good, but it's always a little bit late while fedex is super fast for me.

    FedEx and DHL are super fast, but, are priced on the higher end and I have usually seen that the customs duties is higher with them. Maybe it's just me.

    My three fedex parcels were duty free (might be due to cheaper bill of under $100).

    Its a hit or miss

    Maybe or maybe not, i generally don't pay up any duties(apart from shipping fee for products cheaper than $50-$60)

    What do you do when the duties are exceptionally high? Any appeal process and tips?

    If it's a direct process you can't do anything, like if the parcel is not held regarding the duties, you can't even contact the officials and submit your proofs.

    But, what if you have already received the duties notice?

    Still nothing

    I have read of people actually contacting their Customs office and sending letters to the Customs Commissioner with proper invoices and requests.

    You might also need to send bribe 🤣

    It's almost done. We are almost at 301 now.

    There is no way Chef will fit in the page :)

    You never know with chief

    Nope, its already 301 :D

    Well chief won't be here it seems after all

    He will be. Trust me, bro!

    He wasn't at page 300 🤣

    Never said he was gonna be there.

    Right now you would get the arcade :)

    That will change soon

    Then you would get downgraded to the iPad :)

    Hey now, i am eyeing that right now.

    soon you will eye #2 :wink:

    Nope don't wanna, can't import that also the credits would be similar for ipad and the arcade. I don't mind the PC though, i can always add the third pc in my room. :joy:

    Interesting how will you import the pc 😜

    I will have aramex do that, although i will need to pay a pretty good amount for that.

    They have two processes for custom clearance one is rapid where the shipping company pay up the customs amount asked us in their invoice another is where custom clearance due on us. so thats that.

    He is quite good with mobile usage, and I mean it.

    So, dude, heard you got a backpack coming your way. Congrats!

    Yup will be shipped in the next batch. Hope it arrives in one piece 😂

    The packaging was damaged a bit on mine, but, 0 damage to the backpack.

    Blame the airport staff for that.

    Not the airport staff the customs department check each parcel by opening them. Idk but almost all my parcels were opened and taped.

    Yah, that does happen, but, the damage to the outer box is mostly from mishandling by airport staff. This is esp. true for packages shipped through non-DHL,UPS, Fedex services, eg.- USPS.

    My aramex packages arrive in good condition though, just opened and tucked back. Nothing more nothing less. Just sometimes too much cess and import duty on top of tax.

    I've had great experience with Aramex as well. Cheaper rates, and at times, cheaper duties as well.

    Yup aramex is good, but it's always a little bit late while fedex is super fast for me.

    FedEx and DHL are super fast, but, are priced on the higher end and I have usually seen that the customs duties is higher with them. Maybe it's just me.

    My three fedex parcels were duty free (might be due to cheaper bill of under $100).

    Its a hit or miss

    Maybe or maybe not, i generally don't pay up any duties(apart from shipping fee for products cheaper than $50-$60)

    Does that mean even a phone gets held at customs? wild

    Yup every little thing, they inspect them, charge them and release them with a hefty invoice.

    Sheeesh! That was quick - half a million, let's go!

    Anyone remember this hashtag?

    #ON-THE-WAY-TO-1-MILLION!!

    Who doesn't?

    ON-THE-WAY-TO-1-MILLION

    We're getting there! And the beauty is, we're just getting started.

    Doing it on mobile is hard though, refresh button is on top hidden.

    I tried once and it was a nightmare. never agaain

    Well it's hard but nothing better to stay connected on the go or while in the bed.

    I've seen @MrEd trying it once and he ranked 6 or smth very close to the first 5, I was impressed

    What do you do when the duties are exceptionally high? Any appeal process and tips?

    If it's a direct process you can't do anything, like if the parcel is not held regarding the duties, you can't even contact the officials and submit your proofs.

    But, what if you have already received the duties notice?

    They have two processes for custom clearance one is rapid where the shipping company pay up the customs amount asked us in their invoice another is where custom clearance due on us. so thats that.

    Oh yes, forgot to mention. If a shipping company has already taken care of the customs, it's pretty much a done deal. When shipping with USPS and such you are completely responsible for the customs. That's when you can appeal.

  • @codelock said: I have read of people actually contacting their Customs office and sending letters to the Customs Commissioner with proper invoices and requests.

    I did that in the past when rapid clearance wasn't a thing, we had to manually send the docs over mail.

    So who is getting what ? What am I getting 😭

    Right now you would get the arcade :)

    That will change soon

    Then you would get downgraded to the iPad :)

    Hey now, i am eyeing that right now.

    soon you will eye #2 :wink:

    Nope don't wanna, can't import that also the credits would be similar for ipad and the arcade. I don't mind the PC though, i can always add the third pc in my room. :joy:

    Interesting how will you import the pc 😜

    I will have aramex do that, although i will need to pay a pretty good amount for that.

    How much are we talking?

    depends on the weight and add 38% GST+import duty.
