Finally after a long time, Bangood has started shipping products in India. Although I prefer AliExpress for ordering electronics & components for my Lab as I got very cheap as compared to Bangood also AliExpress refund policy is much batter than Bangood. I have imported multiple  products from AliExpress recently by  directly talked to seller they will ask to pay directly in PayPal. It's vary risky as there is not escrow in middle but in my cases all products were delivered. Try not order high value products.

Not mobile if you import mobile phones you will have to pay up to 35~50% custom duty. I am an electronic hobbyist & embedded programmer. I program micro controller, design PCB & do electronic projects in spare time.

@Mufasa, It's not risky, as Indian PayPal accounts only have the option of sending money for Goods & Services & any payment made by you will still be covered till 180 days by PayPal. If you don't get the product/s or wrong/damage etc & the seller doesn't want to help, you can open a dispute in PayPal within 180 days of the purchase date. I would not personally buy anything from Banggood, as I had bought from them earlier, but never got the products & had to get my refund from PayPal, after waiting for more than 2 months for the products... 

I mostly buy from eBay & I never had any issue in getting refunds/replacements for wrong/missing/damaged items.

Make sure to always pay by PayPal, as credit card chargeback is a very lengthy & troublesome process (in case something goes wrong)...


If the product/s are expensive, you can ask the seller to declare a lower value (if you want) & they will happily do it. Most sellers from China declare lower values by default anyways.

Choose trackable shipping option else product will not delivered by India Post once the product is arrived at custom.

I always do. Some cheap items like Mobile covers, accessories, laptop accessories etc, those sellers mostly don't have registered shipping, as the item prices are very low, but Some sellers also ship by Registered post (POS Malaysia) even if I don't pay for registered shipping.

Earlier I faced too many non-delivered cases, but everytime it was India Post & not the sellers.


Everytime, I could see that, the packages arrived in India, but after that, they just vanished... And since those were not registered parcels, I could only track until the packages arrive in India.

India Post steals packages if the packages are not sent by Registered post.
