Hi guys, I'm drooling over THIS for quite some time, need to know if its safe to buy from here, and any customs documents that are needed or not, also do I need that f'n form 50?
How to buy from Ebay USA.
I want this too but from India, looks pretty cool.
Never found one in India, thats the only source.
Better to use ICC world for this. Give them a US site link, and they get the courier to you. You do not have to worry about customs and all.
ICC World
Never know how ebay might ship it from abroad, and you will have to haggle with customs or forfeit the manifesto. ICC is reliable.

How much extra do they charge? For watches etc? Also do they accept ebay links?
^^
They accept any US site link. And send you back a quotation. If you agree, they list it on ebay with the final price they quoted in the mail. The mail includes tax, shipping, and core price. Quite simple.
Price would vary product to product. Give it a try. Requesting a quote does not bind you to buy. You can reject.

Anything apart from the misc. stuff they listed they cannot. Firearms etc. Request a quote. Either they call you...!
Or reply back on the mail. If you are satisfied for the EXACT same amount you agreed to, they create an ebay.in listing. After that it is paisa pay safety. Though please keep 14 days for delivery. Since it is overseas.
They way they work:
1. ICC World is basically a courier company.
2. They buy your device in the states and ship it to they NY warehouse.
3. It is shipped by THEM to their Mumbai ware house.
4. Moves to your location using again their courier service.
This way the stuff enters India legally and you do not need to worry about customs and all that jazz.

Have you checked the global easy buy (geb) link of ebay?
Check this *NEW* POCKET WATCH FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST LOGO (Rs. 4355)

My link costs 14$, your cost 95$, can't pay for that much.
Hey asingh, I just noticed, that item ships from Hong kong, Why would I send it to ICC and pay for shipping in opp direction, is there any service that will ship from HKG?

True. but this includes all customs and other duties.
you can also use Aramex Shop & Ship to purchase your item. This works like this: you create an account with aramex and they will give you a us address on your behalf. You use this address to do the purchase and then ebay will ship the item to that address. Then aramex will send it to your address. I don't know whether it is allowed to point to another forum here but see
Note: I haven't bought anything from aramex.
The seller has listed free international shipping.
THere is no problem.
Just buy the item, pay via paisapay or paypal, ebay will translate the amount to indian rupees and then you pay and wait for delivery.
Just remember that anything shipped from the US will be subject to customs duties. I had to pay rs1000 for my ZuneHD so I'm assuming its only 10% of total cost.

ICC World sounds fantastic! I am wondering will it work for Amazon.com? And will it work for Amazon gift card!
Looks to me the 2nd part is a long shot to happen.

ICCWorld crapped out, they said it will only work for products in US, that watch is in HKG.

Shipping from Hongkong might be very expensive, using any package forwarding services like Shop and Ship or Shipitto

If you bring in any electronics from abroad you need to pay customs unless its marked as gift(still there is a limit to it).I have purchased Game console + Extra and got it shipped to India, the USPS Priority Mail charged 58.5$ for shipping alone.

What if customs catch it?
It is actually weird that we are all geeks haven't found a way to get good stuff at good price yet. there must be a better way. may be some of us can join and form a pvt. ltd. to import stuff from amazon or bestbuy LOL
.. I dont know how, but I do have purchased lot of stuff from Dealextreme and Manafont .. DX package varries but MF's package takes 3weeks to reach me.
The only way to buy off Amazon is to deliver the package to a friend and ask him to get it. But we cant get that luxury all the time. So there must be a way.
Its not that we cant buy .. we can buy from us and it can be shipped but the shipping is expensive. like USPS Priority Flat Rate Box costs 58.5$ .. it offers tracking. so Rs.3000 going to shipping and we can choose it if we are sure of a good deal and we are not getting ripped of by stupid custom laws in India.
The shipping is expensive to India My item is stated as Gift, Value Mentioned as 200$
(i got a good deal and its actually the actual amount i paid .. bcoz i added insurance to be safe)
... It can be tracked at this USPS - Track & Confirm link --> *trkcnfrm1.smi.usps.com/PTSInternetWeb/InterLabelInquiry.do?origTrackNum=CQ349345637US
... right now it is in customs. I don't know which custom office.
Though.., lets see how it goes .. I just hope it clears customs sooner .. (fingers crossed)
It says 6-10 Days to ship .. its already over a week .. I guess it will be in SpeedPost Guys Hands after this.
Regards

Shipping in india from foreign countries is costly and for electronics stuff you have to pay 25% duty unless you claim it as gift, also you don't get warranty on most stuff, not worth it for electronics, maybe for watches etcIt is actually weird that we are all geeks haven't found a way to get good stuff at good price yet. there must be a better way. may be some of us can join and form a pvt. ltd. to import stuff from amazon or bestbuy

If we get the good deal we dont mind the waranty as such, good quality products hardly need warranty, if they do I dont mind paying service charges for it.
and Dude some stuff that we need not available in India, and some stuff is available at exorbitant price that we can not buy. iPhone, Nintendo Wii, La-Crosse, Motorola Droid X, Asus New Products, etc etc you name it.. Thousands of geeks wanted to buy stuff of amazon, but they cant.
So the solution is find out an eBay sellers and buy it. But I wish there is a better way. To Reduce the Shipping Cost.

@mobilegeek:- My ZuneHD took 24days to arrive from the US, 5 days just to leave the US. You're lucky its coming so fast.
Customs office usually means the one in Delhi. Use this link...
IPS Web Tracking/Item Tracking
much more reliable.

I received my stuff in time. 2 weeks. Didnt pay any customs duty. But the package was opened :9 and the stupid indian guy who repacked it didnt put the console system back in bubble sheet. other than main system console nothing was opened up so that was releaf. Customs guy need to be spanked for not putting the packed back together in right manner. Anyways.. this clears doubt that USPS Shipments come fast and its good to buy from eBay if you just have a faith and look for seller who has good feedbacks.
2ndly I am interested in knowing the cos. like ICC Worlds. How much do they charge? USPS Priority Mail costs $55.8 for Large Flat rate box. what are they charging, atleast they wont open up the package and they can be cheaper i guess.
@asingh
Can you tell me a bit more about your ICC-World experience, and what are other cos. like that i can contact. how much is the expenditure to ship something from us to india?
I can always order electronics and useful tools from amazon or bestbuy. so please reply. thanks.

@mobilegeek- i ordered a fiio e5 using ebay geb. it was shipped via iccworld ajd came within a week qnd there were no extra charges.
i believe geb costs include customs duties. if you ship direct from usa, try to get the seller to declare the item as being of lower value. it reduces customs duties sometimes.
