Amazon offering Shipping to India!?

For ebay the best way is to use paypal very smooth and also the credit card info remains confidential.

^ This is not a new news. Many forum members have taken advantage of the free shipping for ordering Blu-Rays.

Very Nice, please post your reviews as well. Time to enjoy!!!

just to let you guys know that i recieved my Squeezebox Touch on 13 july , that is 2 weeks after my ordering which I think is great considering 2 weekends and a 4th of July holiday. conversion rate was rupees 45 for a dollar and happily duty component on SB touch is ver low so it costs $275(Rs. 12375) in US and it has reached my door step for only Rs. 15,500. Same cannot be said for the other electronic items I tried on Amazon.

this is good news then..

i am planning to order a hs201 projector from amazon
the breakup is as follows

Items: $449.99
Shipping & Handling: $24.94
Total Before Tax: $474.93
Estimated Tax To Be Collected: $0.00
Import Fees Deposit $147.59
Order Total: $622.52

the only thing i am worried about is will it be handed over to postal office in pune once it reaches india.

they have two modes of shipping Expedited International Shipping which is 8-16 days
and another is Priority International Courier which is 4 days.

i want it delivered by private shipping companies like dhl or ups etc.do want to run around post offices.

any help on this guys......?

and what about customs is it managed by the courier people or do i have to go to customs office for custom clearance

thats great and congratulations on this buy. Had a few questions to ask:

1. Was it delivered to your door step?
2. Did you need to go the customs office for clearance etc?
3. Was it delivered through Indian Post, if not, which service?
4. Is the item warranty covering India as well?

Thanks
