Hey Ujjwaana, thanks for your response but would you have any idea if the FPO stays open on Saturdays? I know you are based in Blore and i am talking about Mumbai but i guess the culture should remain roughly similar.

Saturday is the only day i can visit them. Thanks.

Bangalore FPO does keep open on Saturdays (may be not on 2nd Sat of month)

Please call them beforehand:

But do keep a low key, first inquire the Postal section before jumping to the Customs (both Postal and Customs department are in the same building, which are separate entities). Don't show too much anxiety.

***** 45th Day Delivery *****

Finally i got the delivery of my order, exactly after 45 days, at my door. For trial i placed an order (4way wrench and fuel bottle) worth Rs.500 and i was charged Rs.128 as customs. That means custom duty of 25.6%.

This time i chose "Priority Mail International" as mode of delivery but will it help if i choose UPS Worldwide Saver? Help in terms of lesser delivery time? Will UPS deliver it to me or will be the postal department again?

And finally the Mumbai PFO guy, (Sahab) who can help you on this topic, does not work on weekends. So if anyone is planning a visit pls keep in mind.

Merged into the right topic.  BTW, if you had searched, you would have found this thread, and the question would be redundant.

Short answer is that you can get charged anywhere from 0% to 25%... depending on whether it is Friday the 13th, and if it is going to be a full moon night and whether the wind blows from left to right instead of right to left Wink (OK, that was my lame attempt to be funny about randomness!).

Isn't it obvious that the answer to that question will be an attempt to predict the future ?  Only the likes of palm readers can answer that ! And even then, what really happens may have nothing to do with what they predict.
