The items that are sold by amazon itself ship to India but other sellers don't. Also not all items are shipped.

Has anyone from India ordered from Amazon US? I have some products in mind to order from Amazon.US because those items are not available in Amazon India.

What about transit insurance? Returns & refund policy? If anyone in India has ever ordered from Amazon.US please share your experience.

Including the custom duties, shipping & taxes, Amazon.US is still cheaper than Amazon.in.

Compare a single product in both websites - Gigabyte GTX 970 Extreme Gaming.
Amazon US - http://www.amazon.com/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GTX-XTREME-GAMING/dp/B017YOWZSO/ref=sr_1_15?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1462886812&sr=1-15&keywords=gtx+970
$379 + $84 shipping & Import fees (To India). = $463

Amazon India - http://www.amazon.in/dp/B01842BJL4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pd_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=19733NN78GSQ9&coliid=I18BG0YP80J2VC
Rs. 36750 = $556

Almost a $100 more from Local sellers who are reaping us Indians. It feels like hell.

I am not sure if it is safe to order from abroad.
