I am not even looking for such complicated item. I am looking for protective cover for my NVIDIA Shield Pro's remote.Hi,
I noticed that there are some used FPGA boards available on aliexpress site.
But if I try to order, it says "cannot be shipped to India".
Is there any way out ?
If it matters, the price of these boards is approximately 30-50 USD...
I did, that item is not shipping to India.Did u try from ebay
Too bad...Ban on such small chinese products and big brands like Xiomi, Realme, OnePlus are ruling Indian markets, this is hypocrisy.Nope, AliExpress / Banggood etc. have stopped shipping to India entirely.
I used to average 50-60 orders a year easily - got some amazing products (electronics mostly) over the years, including some crazy deals on chi-fi iems - I got the Tin Audio T4 when it had launched for $69 (the promo ran for 2 days iirc).
What a bummer of a situation since last year's ban...
Did u try from ebay
Costs are just not worth it for low / mid value items honestly. Plus there are alternate (cheaper) forwarding services based out of Singapore which allows us to buy from Lazada.You can order it to Rahul's US address and then ship it back to India. Ofc this method is not very efficient in terms of money or time.
Its a loot! Like buying android at the cost of apple!Did u try from ebay
Can you recommend such a forwarding service ? Also howCosts are just not worth it for low / mid value items honestly. Plus there are alternate (cheaper) forwarding services based out of Singapore which allows us to buy from Lazada.
Any suggestions/guidance on this would help a lot.Plus there are alternate (cheaper) forwarding services based out of Singapore which allows us to buy from Lazada.
I wouldn't say it is hypocrisy as opposed to Chinese companies registered in India, most items imported from China by traders are valued extremely lowly resulting in loss of import duties. Ideally, there should have been a separation between individual purchases and non-value adding business purchases, but that is difficult to pull off without tracking shipments to IDs which then becomes a privacy issue.I am not even looking for such complicated item.

I would assume the actual shipping cost from Singapore might be lower but since they use established couriers, you are going to pay the full custom duties on the item. Not sure how cheap it will be overall, as I suppose even cheap items will breach the custom duty threshold since shipping costs are included when calculating custom duties.Costs are just not worth it for low / mid value items honestly.

Can you kindly elaborate? On the alternative... I am stumped by the lack of access to these Chinese sites.Costs are just not worth it for low / mid value items honestly. Plus there are alternate (cheaper) forwarding services based out of Singapore which allows us to buy from Lazada.

Kindly ping salman, arbaaz, hirani, johars and chopras! They arent making movies so at least they can consider this as an alternate biz..I hope just like that they re-launch Aliexpress as Rahulexpress, Chulbulexpress, radeexpress, Chennaiexpress or some random Bollywood name to keep everyone happy.
It doesn't work. When you click on place order you'll get an error.I too used to order up to 100 small items a year from AliExpress. I can still log in via VPN but haven't actually placed an order after the ban. Many sellers still seem to ship to India. You just have to search a bit to find them.
@saggyN73 - is this what you're looking for? This seller (just one example) provides free shipping to India. https://tinyurl.com/42js3j99
It won't solve the customs problem, the reason AliExpress stopped shipping is that our country banned it. Customs in this country are unpredictable even on good days, if they have an excuse to stop/delay a shipment, they will.How about getting in touch with the seller via AliExpress messaging and then doing direct deal via PayPal?
