I ordered WIFI IP night vision CCTV cameras from Aliexpress. They have been working great thus far. Ordered 4 along with 4 separate adaptors. Though the adaptors were DOA, the seller refunded the amount for them. The cameras are working flawlessly thus far and were delivered without any issues. The local ones that i asked around for the same specs were starting from 7k.

Im not sure of exact charges currently but I used to receive payments via Western Union some years ago from abroad. I will check with them to find out.

I doubt that you will have to pay double. There is a transaction charhe on each Western Union transaction and it is a small percentage of the amount of the transaction.

Sir we buy things from less than 5-10 dollars
Only to use service i have to pay some amount which is about 200-200 rupees and their exchange dollar rate is not from open market .

But one should try western union to get real figures

Last of all if you want refund .. There is no way you will get back in cash .. Only option would be to get coupon from that particular seller

I find UBL credit card expensive for international transactions. They charged me rs 326.49 + 52.24 fed (378.73 rs) now just for one international transaction.

Well I lived in Soan Gardens for over a year and order quite a lot of stuff there. I am not sure which was the nearest post office there. But seeing the amount of orders I had the post man became a friend and used to deliver all the orders in one go when all of them had arrived. I never lost an order. Now i have moved to G-13/4 2 months back and have received around 4 - 5 orders here as well without any issues. Cameras were delivered on the new address. I think G-10 post office is near to G-13/4.

Either try to give your official address and see if you get them there without any issues.

I ordered the very similar tablet and got it in around 50 days. Quality is not very good but for 45 dollar its not bad either.
Battery timing is around 1 hr. if you want some good quality then find some tablet which has a better resolution,
800x480 on a 7" is not very good result in my opinion.

PS. I have paid Rs 675 on the name of custom duty for this

Pak post at its best. I had a similar scene......there is a green shade at home. We didn't know for some days that the order had been received but was at the top of the shade. One morning i went outside and saw some square shadow on the shade. Initially I thought it was some object that had fallen but later it was found that it was from aliexpress! Thank God it was just a phone cover otherwise the seller would ve gotten a "arrived broken" email. [emoji14]
