I boght some brass pot & bottle from Jaipur, total 5 pcs, value about 30,000Rs,
then I packed and post the parcel in Jaipur post office, I left a Send address one of my Indian friend, incase they can't delivery or some other conditions.
After one week,
my friend call me from jaipur say that my parcel is stopped in Delhi Forsign Post office, custom office, I have to go there to prove something, otherwise they won't send my parcel and won't return back,
so I go to the customer office, one officer say they have checked my parcel, no illegal things there, but I have to prove where is my money from, and get prove from bank side. I get my money from HSBC bank ATM, so I go there in CP to ask for some prove documrnt, they told me they never have that prove document, receipt is the only prove from HSBC bank, I back to the custom office, by now 3 hours have past, anotehr 3 hours more my flight will be close check in.
I told everything to the officer, this time they finally told me what they really want...
Corruption...
They ask me 40,000Rs for 3 people here, I bargain to 15,000Rs, and they told me I can send anything from India now, only if parcel is my name, they won't check ( including illegal things)...
I am Chinese,
I love India very much,
Indian people are very very kind and lovely, I love the culture and everything here.
but these goverment officers make me feel very disgusting.
I didn't recored their name, but other people told me these 3 people in custom office is very famous, all angey have to feed them.
