When it comes to electronic gadgets such as smartphones, laptops, cameras etc. many of us looks for someone in US who can purchase item for us and we depends on that person when he/she will come to India to collect our new gadget.
But why to look for others when you can do it all yourself. I am sure you must have seen ad of ebay global but there also you don't get latest items and they are priced at higher side so what should we do, let's find out.
So not every one has a relative (with good terms also matters :P ) in US, how about having virtual friend or relative in US. Exactly this is what some sites in US work for you. They act as your relative, you shop from online stores in US they receive items and then ship it to you in India.
How it works?
Step1- Login to these websites give your basic details.
Step2- You will get a US address from website which is basically address of their warehouse.
Step3- Shop online from US websites, mention Shipping address which you got in Step2.
Step4- Your item is recieved at their warehouse.
Step5- They ship your item charging you the shipping cost ofcourse.
Step6- You receive your much awaited gadget in India.
You may see that some of US websites doesn't accept your credit cards, they accept cards with US address only. These websites offer solution to this problem too. Just give the website link of your chosen item with details. They will buy it from their credit card and collect money of the item with shipping charges from you.
How much do you save:
Lets take example of Iphone5 32 GB.
In India it will cost you around Rs 52,500/- (Airtel website)
Now if you shop for unlock Iphone5 from Apple US it costs $749 (~40K INR) add shipping cost of around $35 (~ 1855 INR) to it. So total comes to approx Rs 42,000/-.
I found custom tarrif chart from the below link you can check that.

Did someone try any of these?
ReplyDeleteI use similar sites for shopping from US, the example of Iphone 5 isn't correct, it misses the major part of the billing...which is the custom duty.
ReplyDeleteHi Arun,
DeleteBased on your observation I have added custom part also.
Thanks for noticing and informing us.
It would be great if you can share your shopping experience with other users.
Thank You.

thing to be aware of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people consider worries that they plainly don't know about.
You managed to hit the nail upon the top as well as defined out the whole thing without
having side effect , people could take a signal.
Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
