TechnoCrackOC

Don't worry bro be patient it will cone to you! When did you order?

yash3339

It was shipped yesterday I think. I'm kinda apprehensive about getting this one. Have an experience of 100+ shipments from China, but the only time I've had a problem is when I had ordered a Hubsan X4. Let's see how it goes with this one, will keep you guys posted.

I want to order x6 tarantula from sp4mm3r , it is almost 90$. Any kind of suggestions are welcomed.
Indeed I need some suggestions regarding the shipment and customs' process  :help:

aman1256

Hello Abby,
First Of All Welcome To The Forum. X6 tarantula A Quadcopter right??? Well yes it does contain a Tx/rx (Transmitter and Receiver)  and are you buying it from sp4mm3r.com ?? and second thing In Customs 80 % of the shipments containing Tx/rx gets stuck because they require a WPC NOC abby. and believe me it really hard to get A WPC NOC.
Well If you check this Thread and read the past posts you will notice that The small Quad that was ordered did clear customs as sp4mm3r marked it RC Simulator and it is like in rare cases it gets cleared. So its like taking a chance only abby but yes if its gets stuck in customs then you can tell them to send it back and get your money I know its hard but yes if its shipped by FedEx,UPS then there is like 60 to 70 % chance that it will get cleared.
Regards,
Aman.

Thanks for the information Aman.
I am really eager for this quadcopter (:|~
Can you suggest me some other Indian store or site through which I can get it?

TechnoCrackOC

Buddy there is not a whole lot of worries involved! All my quads flow in from sp4mm3r, surely there have been multiple occasions where I had to pay customs but its mostly around Rs 200 to Rs 300.

sp4mm3r are smart in terms of packing there stuff like they mark it as $15 so you have to pay less customs if applied! I recently got the Hubsan Q4 which is $25 and they wrote on customs sheet as $15 and I had to pay Rs 177.

The only reason why I buy from sp4mm3r is they are smart and their customer support is also awesome! I also ordered Syma x5c a day ago, I will update you guys on that :)

One last thing is make sure you get the tracking no! Or else there is not a whole lot you can do if you do not receive the product. But as always there is a risk ordering from outside India, sp4mm3r is the place where I go

Play safe use common sense, cheers ;)

aman1256

I understand your eagerness. But I really Dont know about it maybe you can post your requirement in the wanted section.
Regards,
Aman.

aman1256

Hey Techno,
Surely update it here mate i will like to follow it ;).But do you know your lucky everytime you order something from sp4mm3r it gets cleared really mate but yes one thing is to be admitted that sp4mm3r is Really Smart and yes there is a hope that it will get cleared always when you order from sp4mm3r.
Regards,
Aman.

TechnoCrackOC

Buddy sp4mm3r is my top priority, I am yet to hear any reasonable complaints :) Did you order anything from there bro?

aman1256

You Know Techno you wont believe but my friend ordered a Quad with Tx/Rx from there it got cleared and yes soon i am also going to order something ;) soon
I hope it does get cleared.
@ abby :- Abby one thing is for sure you can try sp4mm3r for X6 Tarantula.
Regards,
Aman.

aman1256

Well Even i have also not heard any Complains of Customs issues on Parcels Dispatched By sp4mm3r Mate.
Wel lets hope Indian Customs continue this and not only clears Consignments dispatched by sp4mm3r but also Other websites mate.
Regards,
Aman. :)

TechnoCrackOC

Yaa actually first is that they mark item for $15 and mark it is RC simulator

aman1256

Hmm That's Some Intelligence Showed By sp4mm3r but yes one thing I am always worried of you know sometimes maybe if they go for checking by opening the Parcel in that Case a person maybe stuck ( In very rare case actually) But that doesn't happen With anyone Who Orders From Them Or even from any website.
Regards,
Aman.

Abby 244

Thanks Aman for such supportive answers. Really appreciated {:)}. I would like to take my chances for such a wonderful quad.
Okay now I am about go of topic by asking how is x11 performing. Please tell me everything about it i.e. its stability , flight time etc.

TechnoCrackOC

Bro it was my first quad thats what I learned how to ride a quad on. Long battery life (9 min), stable when trimmed nicely, nice flying quad! Would really recommend learning on it! I tried hubsan q4 as an alternative and it's small and just drift away under fan only :p. Its not stable :( its for one who know how to fly great, even its hard for me :p

Cheers
