Buying from Newegg

gbharani · May 16, 2008

I am planning to buy a digicam on Newegg from India and get it delivered to my cousin's house in US. Can this be done. If I make the payment, which would be better (newegg does not accept indian CC). Is Paypal (linked with my CC or debit card) a good option.

thanks and eagerly waiting for your replies.

P.S. : If a similiar thread exists, please delete this and point me to the other one.

I would suggest, you rather buy it from some grey mkt in india,you get it at almost same price as US price.And less hassels too.

He can get it through katmandude, but he needs to pay a premium for it.
He can get it cheaper, if he can bring it through his relatives/friends.

its still cheaper in newegg... for abt $150 i get the canon 590IS along with 2GB memory card.

Better buy it from amazon as they accept Indian CC.

Amazon.com: Canon PowerShot A590IS 8MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom: Electronics

amazon doesn't ship computers and electronics to india AFAIK!!!

btw how much premium does KMD charge? is it within Rs.1000 or so?

Dude u cant use Intnl CC's on newegg, you will need an American based CC to order from Newegg...if u wanna buy from here...u gotta look at other sites like Amazon.com, buy.com ewiz.com
