I was planning to use CC, but that makes me nervous. I will be paying attention. Ty
Iāve looked through his reviews on IndiaMart. He seems to have had quite a few fall and winter transactions with pleased USA customers, FWIW. And a number say that heās the best vendor among those theyāve tried. I think Iād be hesitant to wire to a personal account though. But Iām new to this.
Send the money as instructed dude. Maulik has given me a Chinese ladies name and info in Hong Kong, and some Latvian name in Europe and other places also and I sent the money and received the packages exactly as ordered. Why do you care where you send the money to as long as you are sending it based on the info, he/they give you. If you are dealing with reputable guy/company which Laximinarayan I think is just give them the money and wait for the product. no need to ask too many questions LOL.

Thanks for the suggestion. I raised the question because red flags popped up on Wise advising me not to proceed because of mismatches between names and accounts.

Thanks for this information. FYI for possible relevance to all of us, this is what he said re shipping:
āJust wanted to inform you that EMs shipments are currently facing delays. For example, the last parcel I sent via EMs was dispatched 2 months ago and is still not delivered.ā
Got it I never had that scenario.

New checkpoint on the larger shipment from Jagdish. The shipment has now cleared US customs and is on the way with an estimated delivery date of January 8. If it arrives the 8th, total days from order to delivery, including the Christmas holidays, will be 16 days.

Iāve done 3 or 4 orders from Lax. They used to have me CC the money to a guy in the philipines, who then sent it to them. That method was cheap and worked a couple times. I just had faith it was right and it wasnāt a crazy amount of money. Worked every time for me.
Next to what I hope will be the last checkpoint on a shipment from Jagdish. Very fast. Now past US customs and in the USPS of my MSA. USPS says it will be delivered tomorrow, the 6th. The India tracking system is much more detailed than the USPS.

Has the elimination of the $800 de minimis exemption impacted our Indian supply? Iām concerned that if duties now apply to all packages, our orders will be stopped at customs. Has this been an issue for anyone? If so, is there a workaround?
Zero issues. I have realized that packages are passing more freely now than ever (especially last four months of 2025). Iāve had over 10 packages (from four different suppliers) and all of them got through without a problem. As a comparison Iāve had one package confiscated in 2024, and one in 2023. Tariffs donāt seem to affect anything as the value declared from the shipper is usually something like $10 per shipment and customs either ignores it (being so small) or the shipper in India might be paying it since Iāve never been asked to pay anything.
edit: one more package cleared customs yesterday and is showing out for delivery 01/07/26. Iāve got one more package coming (being shipped as we speak) and I should be good for about three to four years.

Fwiw, I misread, and the fall and winter reviews I was looking at were from a year ago. I donāt see any USA reviews for orders that recent. Nonetheless, I will probably place an order tomorrow.
Final report on this new trial balloon with Jagdish. The product arrived yesterday here in Arizona, seven days after the order was placed in the system. From the time stamps, it doesnāt look like the stateside Customs system performed any human inspection.

OK, so an update on the package that was seemingly stuck in customs since December 17 - I just received it today into my hands. It looks like it was not opened. Frankly, I had given up on the package figuring it was seized. Looks like I got lucky.
So the timeline was: meds ordered December 6, dispatched by the vendor December 9 and āInbound into customsā on December 17 where it was stuck until started moving again January 5 and finally in my hands today, January 7.
Meanwhile, the vendor himself contacted me (through email - I only deal through email) on January 1 to acknowledge that the package seems stuck and said they are monitoring the situation. I was happy that the vendor was involved beyond just shipping the package and forgetting about it. FWIW, I can say I really like this particular vendor and have had excellent customer service - just speaking for myself based on my experiences I would highly recommend them - excellent prices, very fast in turnaround, very responsive, no BS:

Has anyone else been having problems signing into IndiaMart?
The OTP (code they send to make sure itās you) keeps simply not arrivingā¦
I think my first order made it through customs just fine, and it came very near my town. But then it decided to go on a vacation in some podunk towns in Poconos and seems to be moving the wrong direction when it moves. I trust Iāll get it eventually, since it had come so close. Nonethelesss, I thought Iād check in with my seller but simply canāt log into IndiaMart today.
Nevermind. Itās working now.
I received one random OTP code (of the many requests I made) several hours after I requested it, which prompted me to try the website again. Itās running.
