I ordered a shirt through AliExpress and there was no custom charge and it was delivered in almost 25 days.
Never buy online mobile phone or tab which have imei no. Custom will not release your mobile unless you get NOC from PTA which is really a headache. If you live in Islamabad then its fine but for other cities you have to tcs or email them to get noc which take from 2 days to 30 days its all your luck. if you get noc late then you have to pay alot of godown fees.
Hong Kong items usually reach earlier than Chinese.... if it's lahore then you might have to check GPO office and give your tracking number there, they'll track if your items is here or not
I have received packages in as little as 10 days and some are still not delivered after 40 days. If customs gets its hands on it, expect it to be delayed by weeks. But most packages are delivered in 20-25 days.
Packages which are sent through beijing reaches in less than 20 days while those through Guanzhou reaches in almost 30days
anyone purchased cell fone?
I got a letter that says one of my packages has been detained by customs, and it will be sent after clearance by customs. Do I need to visit GPO to get the package cleared? It doesn't say so in the letter.
Yeah you need to visit them. They won't send it until you agreed to pay custom
What was the by the way ??
Sent using portable handheld device.
I have 4 packages that are going through customs as per tracking status, so I don't really know which package they have stopped.
Thermal conductive glueCar usb chargerSS self tapping screwsContact-less voltage detector
Due to the reason it contains "VIDEOCASSETTE". Really bad Customs people can go to any limit to charge so called duty.
When I received the letter, the word "VIDEO CASSETTE" was already crossed out.
I think the letter is just a standard template that they have been sending out since the 80's, and they are still using the same in 2014.

I made a post about how to get your package cleared from customs detention. It will help people who don't have much idea about the process.
