We now have to pay tax to the courier service itself..Asos sends a mail to tell us to pay to the Customs to WNDirect, the international delivery service. Also, custom duties for different items differ.

I've also had packages come from US that cost a lot more, but not once have I had to pay duty on them. <br /><br />♥xx♥Cynthia Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09119795827982633341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9070011977124999282.post-79834669592991322382014-03-29T17:57:21.986+05:302014-03-29T17:57:21.986+05:30Coz I don't understand much Hindi :D

I did not receive any tracking number from them for ~10 days. When I checked my order summary on their website, it said that the order had already been shipped. The detail summary said that the order has been delayed bcoz the product is out of stock.
