Though few people claim they got their item at their door without customs (local shipping)I would advise you to keep away from www.20north.com as there are not many positive review of them:

http://www.mouthshut.com/review/20north.com-184981-1.html
http://www.mouthshut.com/review/20north.com-180073-1.html

- Very few reviews
- Half negative
- Rest looks phony posts by the 20north people themselves.
- If you are thinking service any thing near to LHS, forget it. R/C LHS concentrate on importing R/C only items and send you from their ware house, giving after sale support. 20north just try  to offer Everything on Net. I also suspect their import channel due to Indeterminate delays reported by people.

Apart from that I doubt many flyers here on the forum have ordered from them.

Please try to see if you can find same from trusted LHS listed in the forum (http://www.rcindia.org/rc-outlets-and-resellers/mega-list-of-all-rc-outlets-in-india/).  You may even call LHS who sell somewhat similar model (same manufacturer ) to see if they can get one on order. Reputed R/C LHS like RCDhamaka, RcForAll, Indian Hobbies, Rotor etc can get you saved from any customs hassle and ship you from local courier channel.

I got my truck from www.20north.com ,its an earthquake 3.5 with 2 ch 2.4ghz Tx Rx.

talking about 20north it delayed my package from 30 days (as said at time of payment) to 35 days.....but was in perfect condition when recieved,with no damage and all customs cleared.also this can be a result of proper contact and time to time enquiry about my product so will rate 20north as positive  seller but a bit careless or in other words lazy.still a good seller.

attached pics of my first ever truck its a nitro for more details just google it .




regards

Glad to see another source for 'Phorin' stuff in India. Could you put down the price you paid item + customs + shipping. The range of item they offer even  beat Amazon by a mile. Surely they just 'route' the item through their own channel. Did you get a genuine invoice  from 20North of Custom docs ?

I am still skeptical to order the trekking gear they have in the listing (just everything you want!!)...

Thanks again for updating the thread.

Why is the difference from buying thru tower hobbies? You are anyway getting charged customs. Tower has some discounts at times. I got a HPI savage off tower at 26K in India with customs. I had a 100$ discount coupon
