Options and Cost.
These sites have so many options that are very difficult to find online in India.
Cost is also much cheaper. Prices in India can be very inflated. And no its not because of tax. Since price difference between india and these sites can be 2.5 times.

do you paid any custom duty???

 

[guest_999]

Yes...But need to provide Aadhar & Pan Card number and both are the mandatory field at Banggood payment page.

Now that virtual Aadhaar number(16 digits) is operational can we use that instead of original aadhaar number(12 digits).

 

[cute.bandar]

do you paid any custom duty???

Sometimes. Depends on product and luck.

 

[dissel]

do you paid any custom duty???

If you choose 'India Direct Mail' For Banggood and 'Priority Line' for Gearbest then there is No Customs Duty need to be paid - This is 100% tested method by many people from India. All Product doesn't have such shipping method (Example: All Phones, Tablets, Laptops don't come under this shipping method)...This shipping method only available for China Wearhouse. HongKong and other European Wearhouse don't have this shipping option.

Now that virtual Aadhaar number(16 digits) is operational can we use that instead of original aadhaar number(12 digits).

Sorry I didn't use this method - Using Paypal route is much easier and safer, Paypal will work with any VISA certified card - Yes Debit card too, You can register and activate your PayPal A/C if that card is not in your name too.

I am assuming one must have a bank account linked to paypal for getting any refunds. As paypal can work even without linking a bank account so what happens if a refund takes place in such paypal account which only has a linked card but no bank account. I am assuming any refund comes back in paypal account first & from there it is automatically withdrawn to linked bank account(not directly to debit card bank account used to make paypal transaction).

(1) Paypal Requires at least One Bank A/C (only) for Accepting Income from Outside India or Your Clients wants to pay you via Paypal Only. example: Online Freelance Job.
(2) Paypal Requires at least One Plastic Card (only) if you want to send money / spend money on something such as Shopping @ International Websites.

(3) Just for getting the refund for International shopping does not require/mandatory to link any Bank A/C to the Paypal A/C...In this case, the refund will directly go to the already Linked Debit Card A/C i,e Bank Or Credit Card A/C which shows up in Credit Card Balance at the end of billing cycle.

(4) Paypal didn't require any Top-up Balance to spend money.

(5) Not required here but Linking Bank A/C to the Paypal A/C is very very easy too.

(6) In any or all above case Pan Card Information is required to use Paypal Service.

Hope this Helps to Clear the Doubt.

 

[guest_999]

Yes it did,thanks.

P.S. Can you post the original paypal link for this info,I know it is correct but just out of curiosity I tried to find this exact info but couldn't find it in paypal India site.There is a similar FAQ in paypal UK site though,paypal India site FAQ just states that refund will be to the original mode of payment.

This is a feedback - Banggood now sending the non-electronic low-value item via Allojoy Logistics ( http://www.alljoylogistics.com/en ) which earlier send via GATI under 'India Direct Mail' Shipping Line.

Tracking is not up-to-date either and the tracking info itself looks ridiculous, below is the one.

[nRiTeCh]

Well Allojoys homepage itself says "It is an Emerging logistic co." So it is natural it will take some time for them to get settled, popular and professionally match the standards of likes of gati, fedex, dhl etc

 

[nimod]

alljoys' tracking details has distressed me.
waiting for two orders from banggod.
Gati used to deliver next day after after import clearance. this new carrier has taken more than a week still the article is not delivered!
Even India post doesn't take so much time for delivering in Delhi after import clearance.

 

[dissel]

Today the above shipment delivered and the courier partner of alljoy is ECom Express here in India - again that is the worst one. Banggood was a very trusted place to order and past 6 months I order lots of low-value non-electronic items from them all get delivered by the GATI in no time - Now that facility was gone. I'm very disappointed by this move. Two more order already at their hand before I know this.

Anyhow, I like to point out this about BG - If anyone notice please also share their feedback.
If I order multiple items in a single order they treat it multiple order even all are from the same warehouse and impose shipping charges each of them. Anyone notice this? The reason they write at the order screen something like 'Our system divided your order in *** numbers so that it can reach you faster' - But in reality, all arrived at the time when they suppose to arrive.

Gearbest never do this...

 

[nimod]

is there any way to track banggood shipments on ecom website?
my shipment is stuck at:
Flight Arrive At Destination Airport
2018-08-27 00:29

Nope....there is no way to track via E.Com, In my case after flight arrive at the destination airport - it is there for seven days, mine arrive 20/08 and 27th there is some update. Wait and check every day - nothing else can be done. Other websites 17track also able track alljoy shipment but they mirror the same info.

 

[dissel]

Update 07/09/2018

Well, I like to correct my above comment - For Alljoy Logistic there is no fixed courier partner in India. Today two of my packet arrives with Delhi Verry courier. This two arrive at destination Airport by 31/08/2018 - After that, there is no tracking...Today just my phone rang and delivery is done by the above-mentioned courier. Took 7 days once it reached to the destination country.

 

[dissel]

Update 10/09/2018

Alljoy Logistics - Product landed 04/09 and custom cleared 05/09, after that no tracking info. By luck, the product received today by Delhiverry without any prior info, 100% chance to miss out the delivery - Banggood India Direct Mail. Now it is 5 days waiting time.

 

[ravihpa]

Really appreciate the info guys. Am learning the truth the hard way. Had researched earlier and thought Banggood products reached India in 8 to 10 days, but it's been shipped via AllJoy and my tracking has been "stuck" at - Customs released, ready for last mile delivery - since 6 days now. Let's see who delivers the product to my place in Mumbai. Will update here.

 

[Rockfella]

Finally, it is a time for an update,

[/spoiler]

Man seriously no matter how good this sounds the build quality is trash. I will not buy this even for half price. Good to know you got your money back. Lack of good packing represents the companies noobness. I only buy from international sites when I can't find the thing in India.[DOUBLEPOST=1544643483][/DOUBLEPOST]

Hi I have ordered from banggood, and very frustrated the way things work. The tracking info has not updated for the past 10 days and the customer service keeps asking to wait for few days. Not sure if the package has even departed their facility or they are faking it.
