Rediff, IndiaTimes, Infibeam? I used to buy from crosswords and planetm when I was in Bangalore and Pune. In my current city, Kanpur, it's hard to find any shop for genuine (original) dvds, we have planetm with it's limited collection. Hence I rely on online shopping for most of things. -abdul @swarnim: Did you try online stores? Rediff, IndiaTimes, Infibeam?

Finally a system that works, amazon should have been doing this in the first place!

However, I tried a new online Indian store, 20north.com, that offers almost all the products that you could buy at stores like Amazon or Target and they deliver to your doorstep in India. And they also take care of customs clearance and you could pay in INR using your regular bank card. Yes, thats true! I tried them and it really worked for me!!

I've never had a problem receiving them in India - sometimes they're a week or two late - and I've never been asked to pay customs. I usually take the cheapest shipping option.
