Ok baba , did not notice the "one" there !! A thousand apologies sir

but the question still remains if i want to carry a 46 inch lcd from Thailand/USA, how do you do it ?? I mean I dont think you would be able to carry such a huge item in checked baggage or hand baggage !

well i have seen some of my friends who had bought a 32inch frim thailnad and another person in another forum who had bought a 46inch tv,some people where even lucky they didnt had to pay customs.the airlines might probably charge for the extra weight although not sure.but my lcd which i ordered from the grey market it was in my house within 24hrs from the time i placed the order from the stickers and tags in the box of the lcd it came from bangkok to chennai via flight and then via train from chennai to bangalore.

also my uncle had bought me a creative gigaworks from US and thats a even heavier box no customs.

, well he did have a hard time carrying the box.so i guess u just check in.

ok but the charge for extra weight is humongous . How much did your 46 inch lcd weigh ?

ok so i guess you have to pay for 6kg extra !! But the way they handled checked in baggage what is the guarantee that the lcd will not be in 2 pieces by the time I reach india. I plan to get a lcd myself on my next trip if possible !

well people from grey market always get them via flight,but i think they will handle it carefully ,put the fragile sticker,although u can rule out the possibilty of damage that is why its better to buy it in countries like thailand or malaysia etc which are close since when u buy it from usa not only will not work in indian PAL standards also u will either need to stop once somewhere in europe or maybe singapore or other country so more possibilty of damage.

Hi,

I have decided to buy it in India. I shall have peace of mind with the warranty. I have offers ranging from 1.3 to 1.35 lacs list price being Rs.1.69 lacs. I donno any reliable grey market dealers in Hyderabad.

I thank everyone for the assistance. However, I have a doubts regarding the Samsung models which I have aired on a seperate thread. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Eswar.
