Dear Abhijit,
How much import duty one can expect to pay? Like 10% 50% of the price of the kit being imported.

help ....mode of shipping tune kit.

Use a courier that has tracking. Know some friends who were biting their nails till their purchases arrived :lol: Gives you some peace of mind.

IMO don't bother with tracked shipping, as tracking simply lets you know when it has landed in India and no further updates are posted after that. Since the delays always happen once the parcel has reached our shores, that isn't much help! :P Also, if you are going to stress about your shipment - don't bother ordering it. IMHO just order it and forget about it. It'll reach your place eventually (it always does), can take over a month/ several weeks though...

As mentioned earlier there is no need for any club membership to import a spring. These are items with multiple uses - it's just a spring/ washer/ lube after all!

Cheers!
Abhijeet
