We're in the process of hiring engineers in India, and I'm fed up with the customs delays we face when using FedEx. My boss suggested trying Deel's equipment service since we're already using their payroll services. I'm curious if anyone has had experience with this. Do they source laptops locally in India, or do they ship them from the US? I really need to know if the devices will arrive on schedule.

Yes, we've been using Deel for teams in India and LATAM, and it's made our lives much easier compared to dealing with FedEx. They do source laptops locally from vendors in India, so you won't have to worry about customs delays or extra import fees. Plus, if anyone leaves, Deel takes care of retrieving the laptop, which means less hassle for IT! It also integrates nicely with our payroll dashboard, keeping Finance satisfied.
I used Deel when they were known as Hofy, and I've found them to be pretty reliable for device logistics. They do have a tendency to be more expensive than our usual suppliers, but they do source laptops locally in some situations. As for India, it's a bit of a gamble. I'd recommend checking directly with your account rep to get the most accurate info about availability and sourcing.
That's awesome to hear! It sounds like a lifesaver!
