Kicking someone to buy it in US :crazy1:, any help regarding what will be the shipping cost from US to India?? approx?

^ 1300 through SNS and ICC might be 1000

 

[Sid]

umm elaborate please :tearsofjoy: (noob here)

 

[agantuk]

SNS: Shop and Ship :: Home
ICC: ICC World

Both are freight forwarders. On opening an account with them, they give you a US address which you need to give as the shipping address during purchase, and these guys will take care of getting it for you to India and clearing customs.

Opening an ICC account is free. SNS costs $45 normally, but with a coupon it comes down to $5. My personal experience is only with SnS so I can say they are pretty good and professional. So far I have gotten all my stuff in 5 days from the time it reaches their warehouse in NY. However, since Thanksgiving I have been experiencing delays. I would give them the benefit of doubt and blame it on the holiday season. You are informed from the time your package reaches their NY warehouse and you have the option of paying shipping online before the package reaches India, or pay both customs and shipping on receiving the package at your home.ICC on the other hand informs people only when the package lands in Mumbai. Then you need to make the payment online after which they dispatch the package to you through BlueDart.
