I would strongly suggest to buy rc stuffs from hobbyking as their prices are low and they mark the parcel as gift so your parcel does not get struck on customs

thanks eric, will do.

If you ever want help in buying stuffs from hobbyking please email me as im a gold member in hk an i can get you little discount...

can anyone post the image of the size of parcels you are receiving without hindrance??
what size can be considered as likely to be flagged by customs???

Eric, that is so kind of you.
thank you.
what else do you buy?

I buy everything...except radios....

Everything from motors to landing gears,,,

Yo can never get a parcel without hindrance in india...mine's parcel was looking like they were playing rugby with my parcel

eric ,they are the worst humans ever born.
all they want to do is torture.
and greasing is the only thing that helps but I hate it.
this country stays that way for ever.

1dollar = 69 rs = effective 72 rs including bank charges.

in my experience parcel less than 1 kg & without TX & RX get cleared pretty quickly.

Yup dollar is rising like hell....thats why im in Wait for drops in dollar...so tht i could buy my stuffs

Yup atul thats why i dont ever buy radios....they add a heavy weight to your parcel....i radio set is around 1.2 kg including packaging

every day it is falling by 1 or 1.5 rupee.
this is so shocking for regular importers.

I will vote for namo this time , please others too vote for him.
rupee was at 55 a month ago and congress let it fall to 70 in 1 month. useless people .

Yup this is disgusting for us buyers...too

Anil, how much did your parcel weigh - i am guessing it was a large? otherwise it would not be held up for so long

don't worry guys rupee will be at the premium by end of this year. inshallah

At the end of this year....oh plz ...i dont have patience...i madly wanted to try my self made plane....but now ive to wait till end of year so i could buy my needs...

my aunt as an officer at customs. a call and everything is fine. wish it was true...D

avesh, that's great , can u please help me out ??
I have 2 parcels stuck at Bangalore FPO.

Hope you can help me.
fingers crossed.

Anil: u r emotional those guys doing ther job! That's it. We are so fragile situation tht...Govt of India directives to be strict with flying objects RC etc

I think Govt will be more stringent with $ leakage on such hobby stuff...we r loosing $$$ man ...don't import for country sake!

in the meantime, we keep importing & dollar keeps rising.
bitter truth.

Status update with respect to my previous post on this thread : Reply #774.

Took 2 weeks from "Retention reason : Other" to delivery @ home. No "additional" charge.

Ask any of friends to buy via Paypal as it is a safe way of making payments. You can expect good customer service by Paypal in case of any issues.
