Use only Internet Explorer when you register with ShopAndShip and make payment of membership. Try again. Other browsers have known problems with that site atleast during registration and payment.

HDFC Netsafe works great. Even I used HDFC Netsafe VCC to register on shopandship.

I dont know, what is Da matter is Da, Mera luck kharab is Da.

Just attaching the screenshot.

[KapilAgrawal 340]

Do as per Rajan bhai. Try in Internet Explorer.

Enter Name as it shows on your Debit Card.

I re-checked my Netsafe Transaction details just to verify & VCC works.

Any ideas on ICC world's charges ?

Mail Received From ShopAndShip India..

The duty on mobile phones is now 2.3 % on the customs assessed value

Any kind of supplements , medicines , body building supplements, vitamins or any such consumables will attract a duty of 51 % on the assessed value and an extra charge of 2000 INR will also apply.

And not purchases made in foreign countries which are imported into India.

All shipments being carrying foreign transaction it’s bound to attract duty going further which has been informed to us by Assistant .Commissioner failing to comply with regulation there will be fine and penalty as per sole discretion of Customs.

So , all the process will be the same, the only request is not to mention GIFT on any packages purchased , this will ensure smooth clearance.

The above is applicable to all transport companies in India.

I have one query regarding SnS - there are few sellers on eBay who don't allow an international buyer to bid on their items. Can this Sns account be helpful in such case. Is there any Sns eBay account using which I can log in and bid or buy such items?

I checked on Sns site but didn't found any info regarding this.

Thanks

Puneet

[loypalm 9]

^^^^^^ you have to use shopyourworld.com in such cases

In ebay account, make your sns address as primary shipping address, you will be able to bid on any item. Don't bid on items where seller has specifically asked for paypal confirmed or verified address.

[puneet_july30 36]

^^^^ @Aakash - It will not work in case of those seller who make it a point to ship to buyer's Paypal address only.

Anyways thanks for the hint, I have done that :-)

@Loy - Will try shopyourworld and revert with updates.

Thanks

Any one has any promo code for shopandship which can be used to save on shipping charges when paying online.

I am already a member but I need to save on Shipping Charges.

I just went through HDFC link to get 10% discount on shipping charges but unable to avail 10% discount on shipping charges when paying online on shipandship.com

http://www.hdfcbanksmartbuy.com/post/postid-750.aspx

If anyone has idea to use above offer,let me know

[Arun 795]

Pay using MasterCard, it will give you 10% discount automatically without entering coupon code as it will detect MasterCard when you enter the first 4 digits of the Credit Card. Worked for me yesterday.

[enjoylifewithsms 3]

@Arun Thx it works

I am trying to use Mastercard generated from HDFC net safe card,the VCC has good enough value to pay the amount but shopandship site is showing below error

To protect your security and privacy, your issuing bank cannot provide us with information regarding why your credit card was declined.

Any idea about this error?

[Arun 795]

Maybe its because of Virtual Credit Card. I used Mastercard from HDFC Bank.

[KapilAgrawal 340]

VCC from HDFC Bank don't work with SnS. So Plastic MasterCard Credit Card is must.

[enjoylifewithsms 3]

Yup Plastic Master Card Works prefect!

Also would request members anyone finds any way to further more save on shipping charges then he/she can share

[puneet_july30 36]

I just had a chat with Sns Specialist - I bought a phone from eBay.com US and wanted it to be shipped to New Delhi, India through Shop and Ship. Sns exec told me that there is nothing I had to do, if anything is required from me then Sns will contact me.

As far as I remember I had read somewhere that we need to forward the Paypal invoice to SnS for smoother processing of our shipment.

Is that so?

Kindly share the procedure how shipment is done using Sns (this is my first time with Sns so I am a bit concious )

Thanks

Puneet

[Arun 795]

Once you get the email from SnS that a shipment has arrived to be forwarded, send the invoice email to india@shopandship.com within 2 days. You can then pay the SnS charge for the shipment which will be mentioned in their portal.

As far as Customs duty is concerned, electronics items will be at 26.8% of the value of the item. The customs assessed value of the item will also include insurance at 21.125% and freight at 1% + Rs.100 broker fee which can be handed over to Aramex courier guy.

[mfaiz2 27]

I used my SBI master card and same error ....

[tarun_kabra 204]

^^^ It should not be....

I am using my HDFC Master CC and enjoying 10% off since long.
