vignesh90 Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 So, here is the deal. I'll be going to US in the month of December this year, as a part of a family trip. So I thought why not help a few IVG members here in getting some super cool gaming stuff to India. I've noticed that a lot of IVG members, try to get items shipped from US and in the process pay heavy shipping charges and custom duties. Hence, I'll help a few of you guys here get it at MRP of the product sold. All you need to do is tell me what Item you need and pay me for it. I'll buy it and bring it to India and ship it from my place here in Bangalore. I'll provide you with the invoice of the product and assure you everything will be transparent. You don't have to pay me a penny extra. I'm not looking to make money here, I'm just trying to help you guys here. The item will be shipped with the invoice, so you'll be paying me only what the item costs and its shipping charges from Bangalore to wherever you live. I'm creating this thread two months in advance so that you guys have enough time to let me know about what you want. A few things to remember : 1. I'll not be able to carry unlimited number of packages. So it'll be on first come first serve basis here. I probably will be able to carry 5 to 10 items max, depending on size and weight of the items. 2. I might not be able to carry heavy items like laptops or consoles, but anything from games to gaming accessories should be fine that won't attract custom duties. 3. If the item can be purchased online, then I'd suggest you place the order online and ship it to the Dallas address I give you and I'll bring it with me on my way back. 4.You'll need to pay me the shipping charges applicable via DTDC, in shipping it from Bangalore to wherever you live. 5. Incase, you need me to buy the particular item from the stores, you'll need to transfer the equivalent money to my Indian account before I buy it as I don't want to bear any losses. 6. I might not be able to carry more than 1 quantity of the same item as it tends to attract custom duties. I'm not sure about this, may be you guys can give me your opinion on this? 7. Please stick to items that cannot be purchased in India for the benefit of other who really wan't to get something which is not available in India. 8. Please stick to gaming stuffs alone. No Iphones, Tabs etc OP will be constantly updated with anything and everything. I hope you guys welcome this initiative of mine. Cheers Confirmed list - 1.
