Most of us would have bought things on line.
I have started this thread to share my experiences about Buying on Line and some information about the various vendors which some of you may not be aware of.
Please do not post links about How do it and precautions to be taken while buying on line.
Amazon: I have been a regular buyers on amazon.com for years. Mainly Books. There are many books available on Amazon which you do not get in India.
The only problem is cost of Shipping which is very high.
Bunch your purchase so that you can avail FREE Super Saver Shipping. Above $25.
The best way is to send it to some relatives in U.S and ask them to bring it when they come to India or send it through somebody coming to India.
amazon accepts Indian credit cards. So you do not have a problem paying.
The best part of buying from Amazon is the availability of second hand books. Most of these are Remaindered books bought by some on line stores. I have bought a book which cost $0.01. Yes. One cent. +$3.99 for shipping. These books are sold by Merchant establishments affiliated to amazon.
Most of them are as good as new. But check the description carefully. Real old books are also sold. Torn cover, Underlining etc.
There are a large number of books on various aspects of Hinduism. I have bought only Books on Hinduism so far. These are very often not even available in India.
