An experience regarding import of mobile to India

I recently purchased a Windows mobile device from eBay.com, which is my second phone imported from US. (First one was sony ericcson W950i.)

My first phone was shipped using UPS International Express and took one whole month to reach to Rajkot, Gujarat..

The second device was shipped using USPS International Priority Mail. Surprisingly, it took 12 days to reach Mumbai while it reported the item to be dispached from O'hare airport, Chicago.

After the package reached india, I found out that USPS packages are handled by Indian post. I did some research on their service regarding international packages. To my shock, I didn't find ANY positive reviews. All I found was some complaints about never receiving the item and missing electronic equipments from the package. (all reviewers accused Indian Post for stealing their package or items.)

I waited whole 15 days for my package. Then, I lost hope and started to regret my decision on choosing USPS for my phone because I haven't found a single review that gave good impression of Indian post.

But Indian Post proved all the bad reviews wrong when I received my phone after 34 days total. Better late than never.

I thought I should write first positive review of Indian Post. So, here I am, reviewing them.
