Since they offer COD, the risk is less.

Will give my feedback here after I receive the items.

healthkart experience was good.

The items were genuine (tampons), fresh-stock, excellent packing and the delivery was fast through FedEx.

Will order again.

Has anyone ever tried to shop from http://shop.technoguru.in/

I am looking at these for now and can't find it anywhere else:
http://shop.technoguru.in/speakers/d...48-22259771372

Any idea is welcome. I wanted to do a COD but seems cannot as the price is higher.

Just got an account setup at ShopAndShip.com. This is a service by Aramex. Their courier service in Pune is not that great (based on my past experience), but I have heard mixed reviews on their Facebook page for ShopandShip India.

This is basically a forwarder service and will provide with a US address.
So, we can buy from sites in US, they ship to our virtual US address and then Aramex will send the parcel to India.
The cost is $10 for the first half KG and $8 for every half KG after that (I have to confirm that though).

The membership is $45 (lifetime), but you can get the same for $10 by entering a discount code. For that you need to email india@shopandship.com and they will give you a promo code.

I was planning to order a phone from US, but my wife did not like the model, so for now, I just have the membership fees paid.

I ordered my Nexus 4 and had it shipped through them in early Feb. It worked well for me. Stuck to their delivery time and I didnt have to pay any customs duty on it too.

Looks Like Somebody ordered a Samsung Phone and received Only Box with Charger , data cable and few Manuals. Zoomed On delivery slip & it written "Contains Mobile Phone , Handle with care " .

ordered for a usb 3g wifi dongle in Snapdeal via COD on 30th nov'13, got msg that the pdt has been shipped on 2nd dec'13 and when i tracked the shipment yesterday it was mentioned out for delivery ,however did not receive any courier and today GATI site is updated " undelivered - door closed / Unavailable " which is untrue and cheap tactics by GATI / snapdeal . Flipkart service is super quick ordered at SD since it was 400 rs less

It seems to me there are too many of these cases reported (order mobile online, receive soap/detergent/stones etc.).

Ordered a flash drive from flipkart on 28th Nov although it was available cheaper with other online sellers just because of their track record on timely delivery. Got a message next day that the flash drive has been shipped and will reach me in 2-3 days. All good until now, but the problem now is that those 2-3 days have not yet come!
There has been no updation on the tracking page since 29th Nov.
Later, received an email that my order will be delayed by 1-2 days. Wrote to flipkart today as I am facing inconvenience as I am 'driveless' since I lost my previous flash drive. They have promised to revert back to me on mail in next 24 hrs. Let's see when I get the drive.

Is it? Any links? That is seriously worrying.

I've tried Jabong on 2 occasions now.

First time I bought Adidas shoes for a cool 30% - paid by CC - delivered within 24 hours.

Second time - Nike Sports wear - COD - took 2 days to deliver.

I am more than satisfied with Jabong.

ps - Our friendly mod Viddy, gave me the idea of trying out shoes at showrooms and then ordering online once you have decided the size that fits correctly - to save some moolah.

Thanks Viddy !

This looks good, Did they mention anything about the customs duty and please tell me what I need to write in the mail to get the promo code for the lifetime fee.
Thanks.

Is the seller 'Ws Retail' ?

I always check for this seller since they are the original Flipkart.
The other sellers may be less efficient.
