To avoid paying import taxes when buying a phone on AliExpress should you message the seller to write a different price on the package , or do they still do that by default?
Hk goldway doesn't give the the duty free shipping option anymore apparently
Gearbest and banggood are about 40-100€ more expensive but ig that would be better than paying vat...
have you tried pm'ing the seller?
Doesn't gearbest handle import on their own tho?
nope
you're stuck with the cost if customs catches it
I got lucky
$120 order, marked as 14
no tax
not caught
Hk goldway by any chance and a recent order?
I bought my current phone like that too
Declared as 10 shekels smartphone accessories
Someone said hk goldway doesn't do duty free shipping anymore tho
no
onetigris
*(shark not included)*
Is that a ikea shark?
a blahaj
yes
@Semi Truck mc Clusterfuck did you just make a shark operator
that system costs 120usd? or was there more in the order
there was more
submit that as a product review photo <:alismirk:230784726615588865>
OneTigris stuff is fucking legit
best tactical gear on AliExpress, sadly also the most expensive
miui patch came through, minor
some stuff in the changelog, 10.3.4
but...
this got installed. not a system app though. it crashed on launch, I'm UK region. apparently its India region and you can get a small loan through an app.
I swear these guys bullshit when it comes to changelog and slide in even stuff on the major side without us noticing. don't remember an emergency sos feature on the phone until later.
So, two questions:
1. On Taobao, when I ordered goods, I used to have the choice to ship with either Jiacheng (JCEX) or Zhongshan. Lately, when I go to select "check out from cart" even if I choose to "modify shipping provider" http://prntscr.com/osds0c the only choice is Zhongshan. http://prntscr.com/osds8o Any ideas?
2. I tried to order an old toolbox for a BJ212 off-roader, and I got this message: http://prntscr.com/osdsrp any idea if there's something I can do about that?
Id try taobao helpdesk
The first part could probably be resolved by them, the 2nd...what a weird thing. "we can't ship you this toolbox."
that probly too if you ask them
