Will this be stopped at Pakistan Customs: PKR 6,423 | Autoradio 4022D 4.1" 1 Din Car Radio Audio Stereo USB AUX FM Audio Player Radio Station With Remote Control Car Audiohttps://a.aliexpress.com/_mOYP7EF

Sure it will be stopped, but some times they ignore and parcel comes directly.

the consignments that get lost are are usually stolen from containers at port. the port mafia do this and then most of the saman is sold thru whatsapp group, or markets like godowns at shershah and jackson.

I think mostly AliExpress consignments come through air

Yes these are now standard charges. i have to pay 45 rupees for each parcel. One was of Ali Express and one was from Japan.

[crossfirex]

How u bought from japan? Can we buy small car parts like air filter etc directly from japan?

[hasankhurshid29]

Yes
But shipping cost for even smallest item is around 1100 rupees. Check this website: amayama.com

Salam, Guys I ordered about 50 items some small and some large. small lights and LEDs for headlight bulbs etc. from AliExpress, So what happened is aliexpress put most of those items in 2 different packages and the rest were separate. So one parcel has 25ish items and the other has 15. They basically said they upgraded to combined shipping and the packages have arrived. The items which were separate have reached me with no problems.

Its been 2 weeks since both the parcels arrived in Pakistan one of them still shows KARACHI INTERNATIONAL MAIL OFFICE (IMO Letter), Send item to domestic location in destination country LAHORE FOREING POST and the other one IMO Lahore, Send item to customs in destination country.

So one of them hasn't reached Lahore and is in karachi ? and one of them stuck at customs in Lahore. What should I do from now? I called the GPO Lahore and they said Sir dekhein log kam aur saman ziada hai processing mei issliyei deer lag rahi hai. I tried finding the customs office number but it reached out to people referring numbers which was a dead end. There was one personal number guy who said tracking number send karein aur mei khud saman la doon ga apka and I didn't trust and didn't send him anything. What should I do? go to the customs office/Lahore IMO GPO or wait ? I need my items urgently and don't want these customs thief's to steal anything, GPO/IMO/Customs is 45 mins away from where I reside. I haven't got any calls or letters from Pakistan post/Customs.

I have also ordered multiple items from AliExpress in last 4years. Many a times tracking shows as Item has reached destination country (20 days back). Now there are two options. Either wait (if total days uptil now are less than 45-60days) or file for refund (if days more than 45). I have waited for many items and ultimately they reach home. Less likely I went for refund.
Customs at Karachi/Multan take some time to sort out but eventually the items reach at the address.

[roboxx]

You can check your items by putting tracking number at the following link of "Pakistan Post"

https://ep.gov.pk/international_tracking.asp

(Small items don't carry detailed tracking.)

[roboxx]

Still waiting.. Can't apply for refund as the seller has increased delivery time and the item has reached destination country.

[cukeee]

I did use Pakistan posts website tracking but kind of prefer 17TRACK as it tracks almost all items even the small ones until they reach Pakistan plus they have tracking information for almost every carrier. https://www.17track.net/en (screenshot of mine is from track17)

Well I will wait and hopefully my package arrives and I will try to extend buyer protection days but its so frustrating knowing customs can steal your package and sell it to third parties aka those amazon or aliexpress mystery boxes on Facebook etc. So its a bit unnerving, I might try to visit the customs office but its so far away and reading the previous posts on this thread, its sometimes useless.

[xzap042]

once your item reaches Pakistan it is a waiting game. sometimes they are delivered within a week sometimes even after two months.
My last order reached Pakistan in 4 days after order according to tracking information but was delivered to me in 2 months. which means Pakistan post took almost two months to deliver the package to me. It was a really small item.

[cukeee]

Its understandable if its a small item even I got items late but if its a large box containing 20-30 items I really don't understand how they mess up or take so long to deliver these items.

[xzap042]

I don't think their processing time has anything to do with packet size. If anything large packages would take additional time as these are more likely to be subject to customs investigation.

I ordered a obd scanner, after waiting for two months I got a letter from GPO lahore that the item is held for custom clearance, and they want the buyer to come and pay the custom duty.
I went there and explained them what it is and then they said there won't be any custom duty on it, but instead of giving my parcel to me they told me that I will get it delivered to my address in two days, it's been a week and I haven't got it.
I also saw thousands of ali express parcels, and these guys were just picking up anything the like and putting it aside, I feel they won't deliver then. I have been using aliexpress for 4 years, and get 70% of my orders and refund for rest, I think the sellers do ship it but these customs guys are taking them to thier homes instead of delivering to the buyers. which is why Facebook is filled with video people selling aliexpress orders.

[cukeee]

Damn that's extremely infuriating, I am mortified as some of the items I ordered were of high value. Is it possible for you to send me your number in PM so that I can ask in detail where exactly to go in the GPO office in Lahore and in which way to talk to them or the customs office and what the due process is like. Id greatly appreciate it.
