Arun 795 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 They will give you a US/UK/China address which you can enter when ordering from websites that ship to US/UK/China only. Once the item reaches them they will forward it to your address in India via courier. Shipping rates, etc. are in their website: http://www.shopandship.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 To add to what Arun has said, please be clear on the customs duty on the product before buying. Their website shows only the shipping charges based on country and weight of parcel, customs is not shown and is directly charged during payment. Customs duties - mobiles is 1.3% as smnrock mentioned, tablets is 15% which was news for me. Karan.asraniATaramexDOTcom can help on the customs duty calculations. For mobiles I think it is better to buy from reputed sellers on RIMWeb instead of importing, the hassles of importing, registering, programming etc. are not worth, buying from here also gives something back to the community. My opinion only. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

raccoon 53 Report post Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) @raccoon Had a Singer Food Processor which did a flawless duty for 12+ years of heavy use without any major problem. Now it's given to a relative since 3 years and working fine. Only a motor belt was replaced once. The model was exactly similar to this one > http://www.singerind...Home.aspx?id=17 Now on Maharaja Food Processor since 3 years. Gifted a Maharaja to a relative 9 years back which also is going good. People also have good things to say about Jaipan and bad experience with Bajaj. And for this type of items, you may get a better price with home appliances shops in your city than Online Deals. Similar to Lohar Chawl in Mumbai which is the area to buy such stuff at better prices. Could not find Singer in the 2-3 shops visited. I guess they may be sold in Singer showrooms. Only Kenstar, Preethi, Panasonic, Birla, Philips. Save Panasonic and to some extent Philips, all others seem of pretty low quality. Birla seemed to take the crown for poorest build quality. From the quality it seems Kenstars, Maharaja, Birla, etc., are all cheap Chinese stuff. Singer is probably the same. Preethi probably is the only "Indian" amongst these, and is a better bet then these other brands, I'v been told. Had almost decided on Panasonic, but found this Maharaja Champion MX-107 deal. The price of Rs. 1,090 seemed too good to resist though the few reviews of current Maharajas I had were not good. A Panasonic would cost about 4 times as much. Another plus for the Maharaja is the compact shape. The Panasonic and many others are L-shaped, which have around double the footprint. Infi shipped it in 2 - 3 days and it got delivered in another 2 - 3 days, thru Blue Dart, which was yesterday. This is definitely no quality stuff. Also the smallest jar was found to leak slowly. Rubber on the legs is so poor that its already cracking. Vibrations are also pretty high. Our retiring Philips, which is itself no great shakes in quality, now suddenly seems much better, lol! Otherwise, it seems to do the couple of jobs thrown at it without issues. At the price we got it, if its lasts and does the job, for couple years at least, it would be worth it. At the MRP, please don't even think about it. Gotta get the leak and legs fixed though. Lets see how well a Maharaja is served...

Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL using Tapatalk Which florescent lamps are available for 40-45 bucks? It is a given that most things are made less durable now, but the idea is to find stuff that is relatively more durable. Thats the primary purpose for doing a bit of research before buying anything.... at least for me. Edited July 30, 2011 by raccoon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kshah 452 Report post Posted July 30, 2011 (edited) Sorry, fluorescent tubes not lamps. What you do is absolutely correct but what the fact is not pleasant. Every where people either wants to make cheap stuff or wants to buy cheap stuff. I dont know who is responsible to this durability chaos - buyer or manufacturer? Companies wants product to be produced / procured at 1/4th to 1/5th the selling price. (I am talking about applicances) remaining money is used to maintain WHITE ELEPHANTS namely TOP OFFICIALS and sales channels.

As someone said - crappification of everything. Customers should be extra alert to invest only in stuff that is more durable OR the price should be low enough to make use-and-throw worthwhile. So thats why I said, the above mixie has an MRP of Rs. 2,400 approx. At that price, its definitely not worth it. But at the price I got it, and if it does the job for couple years, at least, its worth it. Even in the case of CFLs, it seems many companies are just procuring them from China and marketing them here with their names. Crompton Greaves is one of them. Poor quality stuff... in fact the quality is variable, which suggests they procure it from different Chinese companies. However, the company tries to make up for it with service, by sending someone home to replace it if its within warranty. But why all this circus? I'd rather use say a Wipro CFL which lasts longer and is brighter. As they say - the best service is one that you never have to use.

digitalnirvana 646 Report post Posted July 30, 2011 For GSM mobiles better to buy from UK than USA, in USA most phones are AT&T/TMobile locked but in UK they are also available unlocked. E.g. see http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/ check the pay as you go (prepaid contract unlocked) phones, even they are cheaper than India. Pay monthly (postpaid contract locked) is obviously much cheaper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
