Its been a while since I ordered from AliExpress
I have heard that customs duty is being charged on everything. Is this true? (I couldn't search this thread to answer this, if you have answered this refer to your post)

A friend told me that cheaper orders get through customs without a hassle
What is the situation these days?

Toys, Cosmetics and clothing/apparel stuff.
No issue.

But if its electronic, expect duty.
If its anything above $100. Do expect a little duty.


Eitherway.
Would be eaiser to see if theres duty if you link a specific item.

I ordered a set of arcade joystick on 19 Feb 2019 and till now all I see after every few day is Shipped by Air with a new date. The seller was quick enough to dispatch same day but since then it's nothing but wait.

Is this normal?

Yep.
Should end up at your door within the AliExpress holding date.
If it doesnt, Just message him 1 day before the expiration and tell him it didnt reach.

I bought few computer items from Aliexpress in the past and never had any issues but this time I want to buy an RC Car from there but heard/read that customs officers steal/eat that kind of stuff. Anybody have any idea if there are any options to avoid those customs crooks because these hobby stuff is very rare in Pakistan and I could not find anything I'm looking for. thanks

Guys how long does it take to recieve your order in Karachi? I’ve ordered something over two weeks ago and although the eta on the aliexpress app is until 21 April - 1 May, some people told me that you usually get your package within 2 weeks.

If your order is trackable .track it over pakistan post website or use 17track to know location of parcel.

I ordered an audio recorder Zoom H1n from Aliexpress. It was priced much cheaper than shops here. Now I am worried what if i dont receive it? It was 96 usd... and any idea about customs duty on such a thing?

I actually found a dropshipping service which is cheaper and all products arrive at the same time and early too. Ordered 6 items costing over 8k but importing with this service cost 5.7k

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    Nope. They have a very valid case. The above video explains it all.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!
