Thank you very much prateek13 for that

but i just had one question that  wat will happen if i order radio from tower hobbies though ups ???

thanks

prateek13

Many different things can happen. Like:
1. Your order may be detained and you will be asked to send an invoice.
2. You may have to pay a lot of custom tax.
3. The parcel may go through customs and land at your door without any problem(hope so)
4. Unexpected circumstances- depends on the case.

@anantsingh i pm you to call about the shipping solution. anyway i also got 8FGA super radio from tower hobbies and paid 7.5K duty for it when i get it shipped via UPS. It took 7-10 days to reach me without any issue. I hope this answer all your questions.

anantsinghchaudhary

@anandparanjape Thank you with that response i also wanted to know before UPS delivery do the UPS people call you about your delivery and customs ?

In your order the custom tax was 30% is it all that high????

anandp

UPS people just tell that they are bringing parcel and get ready with the money. They don't take your approval if it needs to go to custom or not, as every package needs to pass through customs.

yes it is. as it varies from 15-30%

anantsinghchaudhary

On what all things does the tax vary ?and how many days before does the UPS people inform you about your parcel and the tax?

anandp

On what all things does the tax vary ? -- talk to custom person, as i don't know.

and how many days before does the UPS people inform you about your parcel and the tax? --> in morning they phone me and said by afternoon it will be delivered and keep the money ready at the time of delivery. At the most one day before, not before that.

anantsinghchaudhary

Did you order recently and do you think is it worth ordering through tower via UPS ?

PLease help

anandp

Did you order recently
>> yes some time back

do you think is it worth ordering through tower via UPS ?
>> i don't know, its up to individual. i wanted it quick, so i ordered via ups.

the time you spending on questions, should have USPS reached 1/2 way till now and when u order by ups in future, before UPS delivery it could have reached to you. anyway best luck with your purchase !
