Hi. Mine is without Wifi. So, no Android/iOS app for me.

The tracking shows that my package has arrived at Chennai Airport and is in transit to Mumbai.

Let's see when it reaches me finally.

The tracking shows that the parcel has reached Mumbai and sent to Mumbai Customs today. Day after, I'm going on a long drive to Rajasthan and don't think that I'll get it tomorrow. Too bad.

Was it ordered via speed post (even of another country) or DHL/Fedex? If DHL/Fedex they should clear it tomorrow itself and ask you to pay the corresponding duty on delivery (if any). If its via speedpost expect it to be stuck at the Mumbai airport customs near the domestic airport opposite Sahara Star. Anything above Rs.3k in value and they hold it.

If you do want it, you will have to make a trip there and clear it yourself. If you pay official duty it will come to almost double of your cost + shipping charges. But you can cut a deal with the person clearing it, just be indirect but to the point and you can do it for maybe 10% of the total cost. These guys are crooks.

No, it's not thro' DHL/ Fedex or Speed Post. It's thro' normal delivery (Singapore Post) though it has reached Mumbai in 10 days of placing order

I think I'll wait. If I go there for urgent delivery, they might ask for higher customs. THe seller promised that he'll tag it as a gift costing $19

[pcpranav]

in my case, the delivery seems too distant!

M10-Wifi, ordered @ BG site on 7th, via CN warehouse;
tracking shows it started on 15th, and since many days it shows as 24th started from Sweden to reach Delhi !

had many times chat with "BG Online Help" guys, they keep assuring that it'll come, shipped from China, and that Sweden maybe be en-route station!

Im starting for a long trip in next 2 days, and would probably try talking to local postman to keep it aside - safely. my bad, mostly I will have trip without the cam

THe tracking status still shows that the package has reached Mumbai customs dated 29th April. No further update after that. :(

THe status (on Indiapost website as well as 17track.net) remains unchanged since 29th April'15 as follows:

Location : Mumbai Air
Event Type: Send item to customs (Inb)
Next Office: MUMBAI FOREIGN POST OFFICE

Any idea, what does this mean?

Check here http://ipsweb.ptcmysore.gov.in/ipswebtracking
It will be released from customs in anywhere between 3-15 days. Then three more days for it to be delivered to your delivery address.

Well my experience so far is that it clears customs in not more than 2-3 days. There was one instance where I received a postcard from the Foreign Post Office to come and collect the parcel. That was long ago, couple of years back. Since you are in Mumbai, you can go to the foreign post office in Ballard estate/fort and check with them.

I called up foreign post office telephone no. After checking with me the tracking number, someone there told me that the parcel is with them since 29th April as there is lot of load and shall get cleared in coming days.

Still the same status
Called again, am told to call back on Monday and I'll be connected to superiors to increase pressure for clearing backlog
