I have personally used http://dealextreme.com/ for a long time. They have wide variety of stuff including some rc stuff like motor etc. Shipping is free for any order if you choose "by registered mail" or express shipping which is very reasonable. They are located in China I assume.

Anywhere in the world. I have bought items from US and made them send it to Kerala. Usually items get there in 15 days( if there is a shipping delay,other wise 8-10 days). Their prices are great Smiley

This is their shipping policy - "We ship worldwide at no additional charge."

I thought its awesome.

Who handles customs duty payment etc ?  What has been your experience from that perspective while sending items to India from this seller ?

If my understanding is correct. Split the orders and it would be easy because there is no shipping charges. I usually buy stuff under 50$ per order and never had to pay any duty or had any trouble with customs. I had to email them once to split the order and interestingly they assigned a person to deal with my issue. And everything went well.

PS: By the way, I bought a fishing rod for $60 from Israel and it got to my home in Kerala . There was no duty imposed on it( as per gov rules, we have to pay10% duty for fishing rods). So I think its a bit of luck too Smiley

I agree with Jerry. We have got 3 orders between me and my close friends and *never* paid customs for even the BIG 1KG envelope which had a mini drill, desktop clock and XTR dongle. I recently received a Digi Spring balance and small 5KG Didgi Scale (wighting models). the shipment arrived to house in Bangalore in flat 12 days without any hassle.

Just be cautious while ordering. If the item says 'Ship in 3-4 days', t means they don't have the item in their own ware house and they would get them from supplier. This MAY delay the order by 1-2 weeks. But they are definitely  at least twice faster than HC!!

Not much for planes, but they good in Heli stock! I just love Their Novelty and DIY elec section!!

By ship mean 'Dispatch' at their end and no the 'Shipment Time' i.e total time to reach the last mile.
If they sell it, they will ship  it worldwide. You just need to wait a bit like that for any interational order
