i won't laugh bro as i'm also a book lover.
i myself have more than 1000 books in my collection and i am talking about real paper books. i know you have to be crazy for them.
if you could wait, i can find some friend who may be willing to carry this book from US. but you may have to wait till feb end as recently i talked to a few and no had any plans of returning back any day soon.

Thanks nimod. Would be good if you could arrange someone for carrying it.
And you are right. The feel and smell of the paper books is really something. Love the light brown colored pages. Moving to PM route now

Update:
Let me quote my old posts:

Update: friend will place the order tonight.
I never knew that a seller could change. One of my items was kept on standby. So i had to cancel it (screenshot 2).
I learned many things from my recent order on Amazon.
Thanks everyone for the help.
Order placed. Expected delivery date Jan 7-14. New Year gift eh amazon? -___- Zzz

Update: Got the rest of my items just now. Delivered by Aramex. Actual customs charge is: 2228rs. Import duty i deposited 3560rs.

this msg came on the 21st.

got email from amazon that they have started processing refund. Will take another 10-15 days. Rs 2000 is the refund amount

Automatic refunds are the ones which take 60 days. Have a chat with their customer support, they are more than happy to initiate refund right away. Just provide them the Aramex BOE scan. Amazon customer support is the best I have come across.

I have ordered something from amazon.com and getting it shipped to India. The product cost is around 9$ and 9$ shipping and they took some ~6$ as import fees. It was shipped through aramex. Now how can i know for sure whether the duty is charged or not ? Last time when i ordered something like this through amazon.com, the aramex guy had some sort of paper which listed the duty and it was sort of inline with what i had pre-paid.

It will be listed on the paper held by the aramex guy. If no duty is charged it will be blank but if duty was charged the amount will be given there. Mine was like that. No duty in the first batch but was listed only in the second and final package.

Well am I lukng at it wrong or the amazon/aramex folks ended up paying more duty on my product than collected frm me??!

^^ if the duty comes out to be less than the amount you paid, then Amazon will return the money; else they'll foot the bill. That's Amazon's policy.
