No, I can't "buy it from the U.S."

Just saw that the Acer 5370BD is available on Newegg for $399. But they do not ship to India. What's the best parcel forwarding service? Is ishopinternational the best? And how much would it cost to use such a service? Please let me know if I can dare to dream...

I had used borderlinx and I found them really good. Their shipping calculator gives a good idea of the costs involved and they are really fast.

The flip side is you need a Citibank card.
 
Well caught hemantji. But my claim stands true....as of now I still can't but it from the US....Newegg doesn't ship to india. :mad:

Newegg ships to India. Now they are covering more countries than earlier. You may want to recheck at their site. The price is Rs 36K (shipping may be extra). As far as i know, i can see they are shipping to India.

Checked the site. The US price is $399 (rs25000). But when you change the country to india the price changes to almost $600 (rs36000). Did a live chat with newegg to figure out why I had to pay 200 dollars extra. They refused to give me any kind of cost breakdown...strange....
Does 12000 for duty + shipping sound right?

Second that thought wrt Borderlinx. I've used them too and found them rather good.

One thing to be aware of is that they recently changed to DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) (i.e.) customs duty is extra and payable at delivery if duty is assessed by customs. Earlier Borderlinx used to collect an estimated customs duty and you did not have to pay anything extra at all regardless of how high (or low) customs duty actually was.

Probably their margin is on higher side :( ;)
 
Ok they have high margins. Fine! But this is what they added to that cost.
Subtotal: Rs. 36,536.39
Estimated Tax & Duty: Rs. 11,303.94
Shipping: Rs. 2,851.10
Grand Total: Rs. 50,691.4
So thats Rs. 50000 for a Rs. 25000 projector
Newegg....suck my two eggs.
 
Did you try it before? Some reviews give a negative feedback. Couple of such Virtual addresses can be created/used in US and shipped to India. Do throw some light.

Sorry for the delay. Yes I have purchased a "Casebudi" headphone case for my Sennheiser HD 439 headphone from amazon.com http://www.amazon.com/CASEBUDi-case...71096&sr=8-1&keywords=casebudi+headphone+case through PPO Box service since that time Amazon does not ship this product directly to India, at least to my PIN Code. I have received the product with in 8 days. Address of US or other places is not virtual, It's real I personally make a call there and they responded accordingly. It's a very handy services for those product which are not directly ship to India.
 
Update: Got a quote for the Benq w770st at Rs.55,000. It is the short throw version of the benq w750. Is there anyone with experience of this projector?
Is there a short throw version of the Acer 5380BD?
 
Acer H5380BD

Acer H5380BD for $399 with promo code till 24/09. And when shipped through Newegg the costs comes to 36K. Anyone interested .. :D

I do not think Newegg ships directly to India. The cost you are referring to is thru a courier agent like ishopinternational.com? You cannot even pay using your Indian CC as the shipping address and the CC address has to match, the same is the case going via Paypal.

Oh this is great news, as I had to ask my friends to get it from US many times as they have some of the best prices when compared to Amazon US. Thanks for bringing it up :clapping:
