apple store does not accept indian credit cards. amazon.com does.

This is coming from someone who has done lots of Electronics shopping, to the point of obsession, while visiting US . Here are your answers:

- You can use your Indian credit card sitting in India ONLY on some sites like Amazon. Sites like Newegg, J&R etc do not accept them. I have used mine multiple times on Amazon and it worked like charm. The problem is - Amazon doesnt always have a great stock or price on an Apple product, specially computers. For that, you should try J&R or B&H, both major NYC stores. But again, they will require a verifiable US credit card. Try to talk to them, maybe their policies might sneak you in somewhere, like first buying their gift card and then the stuff etc.

- FedEx works. But i guess indian customs, the proverbial bhikari log, will levy a handsome duty on your product specially if its bit costly. You need to find out more on this one.
