Online purchase through AliExpress Dedicated Thread

is it electronic item? What was weight & volume of package?

This is the item..... It may have some secretly controlled electronic way of controlling the amount of air entering in a car.... Maybe smart people at customs found it out.....

Lol, I think it must be because of its size and packaging. I heard that they detain car parts. Check my post about getting IP camera cleared from IMO Lahore.

Here is my story of getting package from Aliexpress cleared from GPO Lahore customs. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/VStarcam-HD-Wireless-Security-IP-Camera-WifiI-Wi-fi-R-Cut-Night-Vision-Audio-Recording-Surveillance/32385677608.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.hYmpDu 1-Sep-2016: Ordered this IP camera from Aliexpress worth 29USD 3-Oct-2016: Package arrived at IMO Lahore and handed over to customs according to tracking app. 26-Oct-2016: Received detention memo through postman 2-Nov-2016: Visited …

I ordered to IP cameras and they never got detained. But, air press , seriously?

Have ordered IP cameras too, always without tax. Whenever we hear about Custom Detention, its always some guy from Lahore suffering haha.

I have ordered 10 ip cameras in 6 months.. all received at home.. however had to pay tax upto 700 on some of them..

[fmkhan100]

How you manage to get the ip camera without tax? Do you change the name of item on parcel or get less price written ?

[sk_cooldayz]

They will try to charge you 52% luxury tax. If they do it make sure you get a receipt of it. There is a complete list of TAX percentage on Pak customs website. But its hard to make out the code for us.

[biloo]

52 percent luxury tax for visors? You gotta be kidding me.... I have been very cautious while using AliExpress, i never knew this deal will land me in the hands of customs. I mean the whole point of online ordering is that you get the stuff at home otherwise our markets are full of every little thing.

[faizanahmad]

Which camera you ordered? and which city?

Today two more orders from AliExpress came.
One is mini wireless i8 keyboard and a screen protector for Xiaomi redmi note 4.
The keyboard is not supporting Lithium-ion battery (I mistakenly ordered AAA batteries supported keyboard and I will return it, have contacted the seller already, let's see what happen)
Pics are enclosed.

Just received the parcel, It was Bluetooth Wirless Gamepad, but the Bluetooth dongle was missing in the package, should I open dispute or purchase the dongle from local market?

[ahsanonline]

I just received a message from easypaisa, that the virtual debit card will be "temporarily taken down" from 28th Oct (today).
Anyone else get such a message?

[leopard411]

Talk to seller and negotiate a favorable deal, else open dispute.

[leopard411]

Maintenance. Chill

I have purchased 02 Car LEDs...both turned out to be totally faulty..the second one even could not ON...no mech in pindi/isb could fix those caz of non availabilitybof their ICs...Almost 14 thousand went into drain. Ultimately bought From Saddar Rwp with 6 months warranty.

So atleast for me...online shopping is a sheer stupidity.
