hurray :yahoo:the offer got extended yipee:licklips:
Been a visitor to this forum for many years now but decided to join it only today on a whim. This is my first post to any thread. Have been ordering many DVDs and Blu-rays from amazon over the past few years including the free shipping offer and even from the marketplace. What i discovered accidently yesterday was that amazon.co.uk also has started shipping electronic items (atleast some) to India just like amazon.com. Just ordered Panasonic BDT110 as I wanted a simple Region B blu-ray player to watch Region B blu-rays. Delivered expected tomorrow, i.e. just 2 days.

Good news indeed ! But more so for the Customs people as they will perhaps levy duty more in the future.
with free shipping?
No way!!!
But even with shipping + customs it was coming to just around 10k. I have no need for a built-in wifi or the dual HDMI port. So Pana BDT110 was just fine to add to my earlier Pana BD65 as I have very few Region A Blu-ray discs though I would have loved an analog 5.1 out.
The link for the item is here
Panasonic DMP-BDT110EB 3D Blu-ray Disc Player with: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics
Excluding VAT it comes to around 82 pounds which matches the price on amazon.com of $126.
Been a happy customer of amazon uk for the last 3 years.

Did you get the player?? How much was overall cost and was there any import fees? Planning to get one..please let us know.
Yes. Got it through UPS in less than 3 days..actually reached Mumbai in just over a day after ordering. For all shipping from amazon, they charge import fees before dispatch. Total cost came to around pounds 130..roughly around Rs 10K...slightly more than what the Region A player from amazon.com might cost, but this one plays both NTSC (All region) and PAL DVDs. My earlier BD65 was Region A, but most of the DVDs/Blu-ray in my collection are from amazon.co.uk or Indian (All region) NTSC. And, as I said earlier I just needed the player for my Blu-ray/DVD collection. Quality on my Panny 42V20 is excellent. No NTFS support for the USB connection.
No point using a 42" TV to watch youtube.
Hope it helps

I suppose since the FDI notification was received, they are more confident of opening up in India, wherein they would stop the option of getting from UK.
I am trying to fool the system of customs payment. My hypothesis, that the postal dept. charges customs duty on the size of the parcel. So for example, if you order a single CD or BD with over 25 GBP, there is no way they will charge it. But if you get the HP 8 BD set, then you will def. be charged.
I have also noticed, that Amazon is not always able to post articles together, either due to sourcing from different parts or availability, so the parcels individually appear smaller.
I am trying to use the same to beat it. Ordered the Band of Brothers and HP 7 part2 (which is a pre-order), so that they have to be shipped separately and still giving me free shipping.
Will let you guys know if successful

It all depends on luck guys. Doesn't matter how big for small your delivery package size is. Once I got charged for just 2 items (small packet) and just after a week I got delivery of big sized package (Friends Complete collection + Spider-man collection + 2 more BD's) and was let off without any duty. So it's just luck I guess.
