Good Effort Sanjeev     creating  awareness is  good  as mature buyers will understand the value  and mutual benefits of  working with LHS .
The issue is we have take customs duty into account which we cannot avoid but many  here don't get charged customs  hence don't take it into consideration I have quit  on such matters no use  I am happy  there are more customers  who understand this and appreciate the value of local service    .
