Hi All
I've been buying records online for a while now.. mostly from ebay and insound.com. So far, i've received maybe 30 records through the post with no problems. Shipment comes from the US in about 14 days. So far so good.
I recently ordered through a site called newburycomics.com, and unlike ebay or insound who ship through regular mail, this site uses DHL Global Priority mail. I've talked with a few people, and they say that when you receive packages via DHL they are always flagged for customs, sometimes going almost 50% of the value of the goods. This means i will have to pay almost Rs 2000 when my package comes! That's ridiculous!
Does anyone know whether records are actually dutiable? CD's and DVDs are exempt, so aren't records as well? The cost of the records was around $80 and shipping was about $30 extra.
Should I be worried?
Thanks
Tek
