Hi, I want to buy this: FiiO E17 Alpen DAC & Headphone Amplifier + Free Brainwavz Beta + Free Overnight Fedex to select destinations - Audio Amps & DAC - Headphones & Amps from MP4nation, I want to clear a couple of things.

1. What are the payment options? Can I pay through HDFC Platinum/Axis Bank debit cards? I don't have paypal.

2. What is the safest and surest shipping method, its offering fedex priority for free now, but I'll buy this a few weeks later and the offer might not be present then, so what shipping method is safe? I am ready to pay customs if needed but I want the stuff in a month or so.

3. What is the average delivery time?

4. What about RMA?

5. What is your experience with this site(good/bad/fair)?

Send them a support ticket for help.

1. You can pay via worldpay. Don't know if your debit cards will work.

2. and 3. EMS Speed post and FED EX. FED EX will reach you within 2-4 days but the value in the invoice will be original value. With EMS Speed post it will take 1-2 weeks and the product can be declared of lower value.

4. Never RMAed anything from them. You will have to ship the item back.

5. ok.

What credit card did you use?

Now this thing costs 140$, so will I have to pay customs? What's the customs process?

^^I used paypal linked to Citibank CC.

Custom duties depend on time, place and mood of the person inspecting the package. Your parcel will go through customs upon arrival in India.

Sometimes they will open the box too. Mine was opened they sent me a letter to present the invoice of the item from seller. Though such cases are rare.

Mine was valued @$40 and had to pay Rs.1200 for customs. Again it's pretty random.
