Dont have anything shipped. Trust me I know. If you really want the notebook, ask to see if someone u know is coming from there, so that he/she may be able to carry along the item. Duty is not the only thing to worry about when dealing with shipping expensive stuff.

Had a guy here in karachi who shipped a laptop ONLY for repair to the US. when it came back, fedex charged him for the duty and the shipping. The total set him back about 18.5k. (It was only a netbook plus used) So I think you can get the picture

He's asking for customs duty, not shipping charges.
Read my post again, i clearly mentioned, that company "Shipito" sends the parcel as Gift Package.
For your knowledge, no custom is to be paid for gift packages....... :D
Its my personal tested service, they send the package via FedEx, FedEx then delivers the package to TCS in pak, then package comes to our hand.....

There's also a good chance you'll never receive your laptop...
Bro, their definately are chances which happens in 1/1000 persons.

For your knowledge, I have got alot of stuff imported myself, but never paid duty on anything and packages weren't even mentioned as 'Gifts'. Even electronics. I know how the whole process goes, you can even select the package to be shipped as 'Gift' if someone for you is getting it shipped via FedEx, USPS etc. You just have to 'check' on the 'Gift' part of the receipt :). I'm quite sure you're aware of that, but I don't think so your statement quite clears the guys issue :p

@threadmaker: just tell ur sis to get it gift wrapped and mention it as a gift while getting it shipped via any courier. :)

    The only valid thing from his pov he said in the video is AC dead since Black Flag. According to woke police that game was woke too. Welsh man in West Indies. So atleast he's consistent I guess lol

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

    Meanwhile Ghost of Tsushima PC version is out now. Looks 100 times better than ASS Creed already.

    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!

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    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.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.
