OK. Here's the big question which many including I want to know. Was this transaction from Chandni Chowk to China? If so how did you order it, pay for it, how was it delivered, how did it clear customs etc. Can we simply order things from China? Tell me tell me :-)
Its quite straightforward. You order on a site like dealextreme.com and pay with paypal / credit card.
Most of the times items are shipped with Govt mail and it takes 3 - 5 weeks for delivery and there is no shipping cost.
You can choose for faster shipping like UPS, but that would obviusly cost more.
Postal dept has International mail department that would notify you about customs duty once item reaches India.
Usually there is no duty for items valued upto 10000.
