Is the quality better than locally available wrap?

[rana4amir]

Yes Much better than Local ones.

[muzubairdc]

Pretty much agree, quality is better than local products. Also worth trying www.rupeeco.pk to save more money as they offer 6% cashback on aliexpress purchase. Only you have click through aliexpress from rupeeco then they will track transaction and offer cashback on completed transactions. https://www.rupeeco.pk/Home/HowItWorks

i've heard people buy mobiles from aliexpress and avoid PTA/custom check by telling the seller to not send in the box but just wrap in bubble wrap and put "electronics" on the label. Anybody try that?

[ryzvonusef]

Ok I can see you posted following review on AliExpress.

For Pakistani buyers, after obtaining NOC from PTA, you have to pay following taxes.. Customs Duty Rs. 750 Sales tax Rs. 1000 3percent value tax on total price, With holding tax 9percent of total value. If you total all these taxes its around Rs 4200 approximately. worth buying better than used ones.

So let's say the mobile is exactly 10,000 rupees on aliexpress,

I will have to pay:

750 Custom duty (Flat rate?) +
1,000 Sales Tax (Flat rate?) +
300 Value tax (3% of 10,000) +
900 WHT (9% of 10,000) =

---

2,950 total

Is there a fee for the NOC from PTA?

if not, does that mean a phone of 10,000 rupees will cost us 12,950?

Am I correct?

[TechMan]

Yes. But actual duty may vary because you know it is Pakistan.

[TechMan]

Has anyone noticed that AliExpress has stopped sending reminder email when purchase protection is about to end?

[fzsaqib]

Mostly Email and notification comes on app when 4 days are remaining
i have an order with 6 days remaining i will confirm you after two days

[fzsaqib]

Yes No Email or push notification received so be care full

[chiliblast]

Cell phone are not allowed by PTA. You will have to pay some custom. Or you may get a no objection certificate from PTA in order to avoid customs

China post registered airmail is good shipping method for Pakistan?

It says that it does not provide tracking.

@techman or anyone else.

[DUDE007]

@s15
China Post Registered Air Mail is the best and cheapest post to get a parcel safely and on time (usually around 15-20days). It tracks the parcel until "Karachi IMO". After that there is China Post Small Packet which doesn't track after leaving China

[umans]
