is it safe to order from clove.co.uk ???

---

hi guys, i wanna order htc desire online from clove.co.uk with international shipping to india. the site even says that it ships internationally to india with 2 modes of delivery.
1. international signed mail-£24
2.DHL international courier- £30

i am worried whether to order online to ship desire to india or should i give the US address while ordering & get it from any of my friends who will be visiting india in june.....

it didnt show any error while filling out the address & they do have india as destination in international countries list where they could be shipping the goods.. i am worried whether my parcel gets struck anywhere, i mean at the customs or while crossing international borders, will they search what is the content of the parcel or will i get this parcel from UK in good condition without any tax being imposed on it from the courier guys/customs....

i am worried about the availability of the parcel in india.... please throw some light on this issue... otherwise, pricewise i dont have any issue. its the best deal i could get online at present.....

please anyone reply to my all queries....

what about to india ??? i am really worried that local officials may use their power to demand money to deliver the goods to my address... will they deliver the goods to ur home address given while shopping online??? which courier u people booked & after how many days u recieved the parcel ????

ASK THEM?????? They have a contact email address there for a reason!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I chose DHL intnl courier, they used FedEx to ship it to my house (Australia). Took roughly 4 days.

WOW !!! thats pretty straight forward.... they do have service in India. but what i wanna know is will there be any problem in recieving the parcel in good condition without paying an extra money otherthan online payment is what i am asking here....

if there is anyone who has recieved this in india without any problem, i want to know that.. thats all man...

how would clover know the difficulties once they ship out the parcel until we tell them... and moreover, they have specified it clearly in their website that local officials /rules cannot be ruled out in price variation... i thought they may ask more money to deliver the goods.... thats worrying me... thats all..

anyway thanks for other useful information....

Hey OP, your concern is not with Clove. Your concern is about the customs and procedures of shipping to India.

Is Clove safe? Yes. But once your package is shipped, Clove can't guarantee you anything.

It would be wise for you to change the thread subject to "Any difficulties ordering device overseas and shipping to India?" You might get more useful replies that way.

one doubt i have, will the courier people allow custom officials to manipulate with the parcel ??? i mean if the parcel is well below 500gms, will they check it & put duties ???

because, i have imported few things weighing around 100gms from US, & it has not been verified by the customs... so i dont think parcels seal will be open by the officials.... they might have an agreement with the cargo people i guess....

is there anyone who has hands on experience with these things ????
