Dont waste ur time by going to gpo becoz they wont entertain u. Just wait for detention memo then apply for noc. Gift or not they r going to charge custom duty.

Why? Have you ever went to them?

No one should wait for any detention letter or all the BS mentioned above.

AS SOON AS THE TRACKING SAYS SENT TO CUSTOMS - One should visit them with a copy of the NIC.

He'll take out a pen and paper and start calculating duties - almost double the value of your product. Negotiate and pay up.

This is pakistan and everyone here needs kharcha pani.

PS. I've ordered phones, tablets, tv boxes, digital meters and vaping flavors. Whatever gets to customs is handled in a similar way. BY PAYING UP!

So people saying things are improving in pakistan are just kidding themselves. Awaam nai sudher saki officials kahan se sudraingay :)

its been a month i never received my parcel nor any letter from customs and post office ordered a winter hat any solution?
Nothing to worry about. Assuming its China Post, it can take more than a month to reach Pakistan after it is 'Shipped by air'. Besides, if tracking doesn't show parcel has arrived in destination country, you can easily get a refund once the 60 day protection period ends.

I think this experience varies by city.

How many days they will take to send me NOC??
Sir you have any info about PayPal??
I have money in my PayPal account and it gets limited..
Any solution??
AFAIK if you had registered a Paypal account on fake details and it got limited, then it is pretty much gone. You cant get any money out of it unless the limitations are removed. They will ask you for government issued documents, which you obviously cant provide. What caused the account to get limited by the way?

The item has been sent to customs. You should visit them. They are located just before Uni plaza and techno center after the Jung office on the main road only.

BTW your parcel was coming to you for free. But maybe you were not available and the postman took it back and now its in customs :p

Visit them with your NIC. Go to the front desk first and give them your tracking number. They will guide you to the daroga's room. Negotiate with the Daroga and get your item.

Good luck!

Wait for customs inspection. When the inspection is complete you will receive your item or a detention memo at your home.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
