Aliexpress Customs Shipping Payment Mode Tips Do's Dont's n Everything
Hi its THAT time of the year AGAIN , so skipping small talk n jumping directly to Mudda ( मुद्दा )
Selection
Always check reputation/feedback of seller and no of orders fulfilled
Payment Mode
—All International transaction enabled card works
Recommendation use virtual card like HDFC netsafe Udio https://www.entropa...m/
Conversion charges / service tax / forex conversion charges will be added by banks/card issuing bank
Shipping method
—China Post/EMS service Min 10 days max 45 days
—Choose paid Fedex/DHL shipping to receive trackable / faster delivery
Customs
You will not pay/ attract custom
—Low value item
—Items marked as gift/book/docs (Gift can only be marked by Individuals and samples can be marked by merchants) (If the package gets lost when marked as gift you wont get your refund)
—Weight <<1KG
But there is no sure-shot way to avoid it.
Important :- Don’t expect refund if you changed your mind / not paying custom, they wont send it back to origin country,it will be sent to auction.
If your bad luck also खराब then you have to pay customs

Hi guys, I dont have international DC/CC. Only i have SBI Maestro Debit card which doesn’t support on Aliexpress.
Any body have idea about Aliexpress Pocket ? Its like wallet system. Can I use my friends CC for buying $50-100 in my Aliexpress wallet for 11/11 sale ? Is it safe ?
here is the link — http://sale.aliexpress.com/pock...tm
Pockets should work right?
b4 paying a non-resident read this: http://www.livemint.com/Money/hBxc33LNKshirgdjl...
http://taxguru.in/income-tax/related-tds-provis...
Furnishing of information in respect of payment to non-resident in Form 15CA/15CB has been made mandatory to all payment irrespective of whether that income is taxable in India or not. Further, penalty u/s 271-I has also been introduced in respect of non-furnishing of information or furnishing of inaccurate information in Form 15CA/15CB of Rs. 1,00,000/-.

Just one advise- If you are gonna buy phone from AliExpress, check with seller if they can mention IMEI no. in the invoice. As per new Indian Customs notification, you cannot import phones without IMEI mentioned in invoice (I had imported and suffered last month as the seller informed he cannot check & mention IMEI in each & every invoice).
Dont think its wise to get phone in first place our govt custom offices get so hard
Thanks for the tag @@gosf8877@@
Can anyone tell the simplest way to earn coins/dollar in lesser time (without investing much time)

My last 4 phones have all been imported/purchased from AliExpress. You just need patience (It is easier said than done) but the last month was the one, which was VERY BAD experience as DHL said that they will not help me out as phone was without IMEI. Had to mail directly (Beg) Customs officer to get it cleared.
Still have not learned my lesson as am planning to buy Mi Mix next month and will request seller to mention it as Tab (You just have to pay 10% duty for Tabs)
Dhl is so bad. Had a very bad experience recently with them. I have gained enough experience in import now. FedEx is mostly good for me. Postal shipping of products with battery has been banned by China. Those marked as something else might escape.
Several people here seem to have bought goods from AliExpress.
Would be interesting to know if any1 of them (buyers) had paid TDS to Govt. of India &/or filed TDS Returns !

There is no necessity of it when its an e-commerce purchase. At least no one bothers, neither the tax men nor the aam aadmi. Have you read anywhere about someone being pursued for that?

Yeah legally that exists but they don’t pursue and they won’t bother tracing it with the huge amount of banking data they get.

Except netsafe… Which vcc is working????
I don’t know why I have just received 1 out of 5-6 orders from Aliexpress. First experience was smooth (Aliexpress Shipping), but haven’t received the other orders. Got refund tho.
@Conman
I am not sure if it’s fake. Let’s assume the worst and say it’s fake. Would NL/SG post avoid customs in that case?
PS: What’s postal shipping? 
Use any service with tracking
