even the unregistered airmail are showing tracking numbers

Hi,
This is what is called is "luck by chance"...as in my one of the post i said that when i order things from HC i forget and relax.... this time also i did the same. i book material at HC on 2nd, and as you all know that there was issues at HK airport end that some screening is delaying the parcel from HK... i checked the shipment status but nothing was available....yesterday the status was updated which is  attached. to my surprise i got the parcel today at 4:30 PM...thanks to HC and Indian customs...
I really appreciate Indian customs for its fantastic service once again..

Its really strange where the world is outsourcing their production and Backoffice to
China, Chinese Post has its online tracking outsourced/Supported by Swiss Post! wow!!

The worst part is, considering existing ban on many 'toy' products from China, HC shipping through HK Post might have been averting this complication. I don't know how authorities would treat HC items coming through Chinese post!

Folks keep the thread updated if you face any issue in the shipment.

My HC shipment dispatched on 18th may was delivered somewhere @6-7June. It attracted ~14% Customs Duty even though it was marked as "Gift" (still nominal).
The package(500gms) seemed like it was opened. It had 'Indian Foreign Post' packing tape on it.

Hi Sandeep, what was the shipment type? like EMS/ registered Airmail... Mine posted above was registered Airmail.

The Customs randomly opens even the smaller packets regardless if it is marked 'Gift' . When they open, the usually levy some duty. Its all luck. The 'Gift' mark has worked more often in the recent past, but it might have turned counterproductive after so many shipper abused it.

Order. Cross your fingers...
my 17th May HC package is still to reach me.

Despite all the hurdles that HK is facing. My parcel reached me in flat 16 days after booking and it was just a registered mail. The box was crushed, probably due to heavy weight on the box. Nothing damaged except a bent flybar, which anyway I have in stock. The parcel came tru swiss post.

I received my parcel routed through Swiss. It was dispatched on June 02 and I received iton June 22. 20 days flat for the shipping. Package was small may be around 250 gms. No customs

I had a "Cell-Log 8M Cell Voltage Monitor 2-8S Lipo" in this parcel. This is a great product.
