RC India

I was going to place my first order from an international website and I was confused about from where to buy the S107.

I spent days searching for a good website. I found Lightake. It was good but I don't know why I didn't like they way they put up their website. I was reluctant to buy from ebay as people warned about buying from ebay as I would get clones or fakes, (fake once delivered, is hard to send back and get refund).

Then I found Banggood and honestly I would say that the first time impression was good. They were selling at just around $18 with nearly $1 for worldwide registered airmail shipping. That was amazing. I paid through paypal and my product was dispatched within 24 hours as promised. I got the tracking and was able to see the progress of my first international order.

It reached me on the 20th day and was cleared from the customs without any hassle. Got it in a nice foam box with all the parts in good condition. The heli flew fantastic right out of the box after charging and I could feel the happiness of controlling the most stable 3ch heli ever. I would like to thanks BangGood for providing genuine (R5 board) product and for excellent customer service.

I shared my first time buying experience so that others can get help from my good experience. Now I am totally confident that I would not get fakes from them and so I am planning to buy a few more for my relatives.

Hey thank you for sharing.
I have my heart set on a 4ch heli micro. I will keep this site as one of my options. Happy Flying. :)

get that micro quad. beetle or even smaller ladybug.

I am interested in the WLToys WL V911 4ch heli.

Oh! The V911. That is an amazing heli. I am too planning to buy it nest after some time. I would suggest you to buy from banggood itself as they are selling it really cheap at just $ 40.55 with free Registered airmail shipping to India. Remember to ask them for declaring it as a gift with less value. You can get the heli in its own retail packet if you buy the retail packet with extra amount of around $ 4. But the foam package is not bad. You can have a look at these videos:-

I wouldn't risk opening a site named 'www.banggood.com' when my family was around.  ;D The Chinese, evidently, need a rigorous lesson in the nuances of the English language............... :giggle:

I don't know what does that mean buy who cares about the name. The product that we get is valued.

Hi guys

First post here so please bear with me if this has been answered before - i did search the forums. I am planning to order a walkera w100s with a devo 4 tx costing around 110 usd plus a few spares of course.

I have read enough to know that banggood is reliable so not worried about that (totally open to other suggestions though) so my main concern is Indian customs. Would love to hear any experiences and suggestions you may have to ensure that my order actually reaches bombay.

Do i need to ask them to mark it as a gift? Im planning to ask a friend in the us to order for me so is that any cause for concern?

Any sort of help will be really appreciated.  ;D

Thanks

Being the first in this hobby I recommend you to use indian shops to avoid the custom hassle, otherwise your interest may die out at first. You can get a very good Indian shops list in our forum. check here.

i would suggest go for a smaller Heli first from Banggood.

No hassels from customs, practice , experience ,enjoy

I ordered a WLtoys V911 4-channel helicopter from banggood.com after reading on the internet and also rcindia about banggood. I got it today. BUt I ordered on 15th oct and my package was lost after few days in transit. Banggood customer service is great, they sent me another heli and it took 17 days to get it. Whereas, I also ordered a tail motor for it on 15th oct. I got it today after about 35 days.

SO moral- banggood is a reliable website, but shipping times vary and are long. If you are not worried about waiting times, u cna go ahead and order from banggood. They have the best prices and free shipping worldwide.

Thanks Guys for the info

Even am intrested in buying but wont we have to pay customs on the rc helicopter brought online to india? Any idea hw to go about it?

My experience with banggood was nice. i order mini usb cam , X4 Quad , propellers 11x4.7 i came in 23 days . properlly packed and no customs issues. i would definitelylike to refer buying from them.
 

There is no problem at all with banggood.com. Its a trusted and reliable store. There will not be any problem, As long as you are ordering spare parts for helis/planes and micro RTF Helis. But the problem comes, when you order medium/large sized RTF Heli/plane/boat. The problem is with our Customs department. you really don't know how worst (worstest) is that department. There is no mother/father/point of contact for that department. Highly corrupted department.

i also odered but they accept pay pal account payment. i dont know how to use paypal

dhaya666.... It go to PayPal India and create an,account with pan card and you are good to go

Hello Guys
I had recently ordered a module and receiver from banggood. I ordered on 7th and it got shipped on 9th. I have not yet received the parcel. The tracking details are showing the same status from last 10 days.

http://ipsweb.ptcmysore.gov.in/ipswebtracking/IPSWeb_item_events.asp?itemid=RC546231503CN&Submit=Submit (http://ipsweb.ptcmysore.gov.in/ipswebtracking/IPSWeb_item_events.asp?itemid=RC546231503CN&Submit=Submit)

What must be the problem?

do not worry it takes 20-30 days for the parcel to come from Banggood.

I have received all.

Received the parcel in the evening today.

I AM GOING TO ORDER FEW RC STUFF WORTH 400$ WHICH INCLUDES
FPV GEAR VIDEO GLASSES FLYSKY TRANSMITTER SOME ANTENNA

AM I GOING TO PAY ANY CUSTOMS FOR THIS....OEDERED ALL FROM BANGGOOD..

depends on whats in your parcel, and if your parcel gets scrutinized at customs...Most likely the stuff you mention will be held.

PS: Your initials are M.K Gandhi but your caps lock key is stuck... quite a contrast... :D

sry about that....
i recently found out that writting in caps is considered equal to yelling on web..

 :rofl:

If you need a transmitter i have flysky 9x and flysky t6 for sale

It is an usual practice for us to split up the order into sub $100 parts and spacing them apart a few days so that they do not arrive at the customs check at the same time :)

how much for 9x

Flysky 9x rs 4950

hi,

i want to order a dji naza gps module and its worth 6000 rupees.

it will be shipped with their free delivery service.

I was unable use my debit and credit card with PayPal for banggood payment.
What to do

@sripal

Pay directly from your credit card.. why do you need paypal ??

Banggod doesnt accept credit cards for payment from india

@Sripal.

yes it does !! i have done it twice a couple of month before..

how to select creditcard payment without going through paypal page

i am using sbi credit card

@Sripal

Click on the button == check out with pay pal (See the attached img1)

then in next page == below one more option = pay with debit or credit card (img 2)

@sripal

By the way where do you fly in Chennai ??

i did that many times
it says

"The bank that issued your card didn't approve this transaction. Please contact the card issuer's customer service department if you have any questions. Or you can add a different card now to continue."

and my card is  got blocked and reactivated today morning after speaking to sbi customer care and they said it works with paypal.

but today evening it got blocked again after i tried two times . this is frustating . Now i have go through all of that once again.

i dont fly much these days. now staying temp. at  kanchipuram town.

@sripal.

Might be the problem is with SBI card.

Any way opening a paypal acc is very simple. just you have to pay 1$ as fee and you need give your pan card details.
link it to your debit or credit card and you are ready to go..

i use three cards, sbi credit and two bank of india debits non i were able add to paypal account which i already have with pan details entered

i think this conversions are going off topic  

so kind of you    giving prompt replies

Did you tried with International Credit card ???

Govt owned banks cards usually dont work on international payment gateways.Paypal too doesnt accept cards from these banks. They accept some cards from Icici.
But private bank debit/credit cards work if you are making direct payment. I have used Axis debit card at hobbyking and aliexpress. Also a SBI Visa Debit card.

PS: Maestro cards usually dont work too. Only Visa and Mastercard

Hello fellow members who took the risk and courage to order from Banggood aka BG as popularly known on other forums. At first I was pretty unsure about ordering anything from any chinese website like aliexpress because I heard that products never reach you or go missing. Mind you I have not yet received my WLtoys V977 BNF and Hubsan upgraded Quad also a BNF order placed 12.Nov so its too early to say. I was amazed by their customer support as well as the forum run by them - prompt and precise replies with a guaranteed refund (full amount  :headscratch:) if your product is lost or delayed :thumbsup: That said Im hoping I get my order soon. Requested for a slight under invoice as it was a little over $ 100 and they acknowledged gladly. No Lipos No Radio as I believe its a risk or adds to the delay. I would love to order Lipos in the future if not radios, has anyone ?

I too ordered from banggood on the 12th. One of the items I had ordered, I realized later, was out of stock, so I asked them to switch it to another item which was in stock, and they gladly did that. Plus from a lot of posts on their forums, I realized that they give you full refund if the item does not reach you in 30 days.

So the customer support is great. My parcels have left China, so they should be here soon.

Hello,

does banggood accept only credit cards?
my axis visa and sbi gold visa international are not working. but i have used them on HK.
the cards are not "chip and pin" card. is this the reason for transaction failure?

thank you.

The main reason for card failures is weird rules of reserve bank, A card once worked may not be for next try :banghead:.
Better option is make a online virtual credit card to all your international purchases, no hassles !

Thank you for your reply.
can i use sbi virtual card on banggood ?

NO, I mean virtual VISA credit cards like Entropay.

But Normal credit cards (VISA or MASTER) from almost all banks are supported - if you have one no problem - but it is hard to get a credit card .

i got an entropay visa card. but the payment has been rejected at banggood.
any idea?
you are using entropay. right?

my payment was also declined by bangood. than i use paypal... try paypal..

did you get your money back?
and what type of card have you used with paypal?

I have had great experience with BG.. they resent an order with tracking which was previously lost in transit as it was sent by ordinary post without a tracking code..

well i had  a awesome experience with banggood bt recently my last purchase on 26/10/14 hasnt yet reached me and the tracking juss shows that its been in transit bt still it didnt reach me so i suggest to buy from banggood with ems or fast delivery or atleast by registered air mail cause tracking is necessary orelse u would end up worrying abt the package it will reach u bt when that cnt be said/...............

they told me u ill get refund in 30 days.. and i use my hdfc credit card with paypal...

Did you really get that money back?

no not yet. but today is 15th day.

Hello

I placed a few orders at Banggood...
The order placed on 16th Nov reached  me on the 5th Dec.. those were spare parts.. another order of spare placed on 30th Nov has also made it to Delhi airport. . But the orders that I placed on 17th and 18th of Nov still shows in transit.. There were a REF heli WL V911 and and Eachine quadcopter.. i m a little concerned as it has been a month.. banggood hasn't returned my emails in last 3-4 days.. what could b the reason and is there a way I can find out about the product status??

Plz help..

Their free shipping sucks.. I placed order on November 13th.. After so many days of showing in transit, finally it's arrived Delhi if I am not wrong.. I don't know when it's gonna reach chennai customs and chennai customs takes nearly a month to dispatch.. Uff.. My previous consignment took 52 days to deliver from the day of shipping..

The best postal services in Far East was Hong Kong Post.
China Post sucks a BIG BIG time. Malaysian Post is even horrible story (even before their planes disappearing, parcels used to disappear regularly)

Sadly Hobby king , due to its malpractices misused the trust of HK Post by sending LiPo in packaged marked with "No-LiPo" . HK Post got into trouble with FAA/NTSB. So HK Post virtually banned Hobby King and may be similar Hobby shops.

Banggood usually sends package  thru China Post. so keep your patience. Our Customs have also become very finicky since June this year, so expect delays or even summon from them

Singapore post is faster then all above

My previous order of quad's lipo took 2months to arrive.  :-\free shipping, philippines post.Really slow

Well I Think December Month Parcels are gonna be late delivery because of International Holidays As Christmas And New Year is Near!!!! :D
But No need to worry for that and I hope everybody receives their parcels soon.
Regards,
Aman. :D

I placed my first order from BangGood on Sunday. The value is about 20$ split in two parcels. The first one was shipped by registered air parcel on Monday though the tracking number does not seem active yet. One of the items I had ordered turned out to be out of stock so after dealing with their unresponsive live chat. I managed to get then to split the order. After one operator stopped responding I managed to catch hold of another one who was far more helpful. The important part will be shipped by registered airmail and the rest by normal airmail when it is back in stock.

Hmm Well Thats A problem now the one is which is out of stock when it gets in Stock gets shipped by Normal airmail that's unfair perhaps what you can do is that tell me that its my right as I have paid registered shipping fee so ship it by Registered post or unless get your money back because what I think is that Normail Airmail I have lost many items in that. That's why I am little always worried in that.

Aman.
