Need help with international shipping
August 31, 2008 7:10 AM
Information on International shipping (US to India)?
I have to ship a large number of books to India from the New York/New Jersey area. It's looking like 5 cases weighing in at about 45 pounds/case.
Anyone out there have any suggestions or experience in these matters? Usual time:money ratio applies. Any help/advice is appreciated.
Thanks!

I ordered a set of Cisco books from ciscopress' website using Fedex. Was one big box consisting of 6 books weighing in at a total of around 30lbs. Cost me 27USD, and received everything in 4 days (Jun 26-Jun 30), service type was Fedex International Priority. And yes, I live in Mumbai. I don't see why Customs would hold up books, of all things. Good luck.

Forgot to mention, the shipment originated from Indianapolis, IN.

Customs on the destination side can (and sometimes will hold these up for a while).
I have shipped books using that service - not that many though, so YMMV.
