Where to buy Auto-Dimming rear view mirror

[mrdeejay]

There are aftermarket auto-dimming rear view mirrors being sold on aliexpress. Is there any store selling it in Pakistan, so I don't have to worry about long delivery time + customs/duty?

Make sure you get a decent one, cheapo ones warp and leak out, and make a royal mess on the dashboard.

Found two sellers on aliexpress with good reviews, but each had less than 100 orders, so not a huge sample size. Locally, found no one that has these.

Did you install aftermarket one, that leaked?

I have seen lots of unbranded aftermarket ones leak.

Easy way meaning dodging the duty tarriff?

thats not the issue

people import 1000 rup stuff
and get a tax slip of 5000 on top

1. Buy quality items locally. In many cases like these, items aren't even available at all
2. Order items from international sellers without having to worry about completely unexpected customs duty/fees
3. Having to worry about your package getting "lost" by the postal service

Last year, I ordered a router from aliexpress. Customs dept held the pkg, asking for waiver from PTA, got charged a lot of duty on it. Plus the entire time it was sitting at the customs office, I was accessed daily storage charges. Total I had to pay was over 20K in duty/fees. Not to mention the headache and stress involved in dealing with donkeys in govt depts.

I've ordered items from aliexpress while in US, and the whole process is so smooth without any issue. No wonder why our nation can't progress, we keep throwing obstacles in every segment of life.

This is mostly because a lot of people have imported under invoice stuff, this enforced a new law that customs would assess the material on their own.

Bringing this thread back to life. Are these available in bilal gunj - ones pulled from imported japanese cars? at least quality of those will be good.
