Buying book in India and shipping to Europe

Open

Hi, do anybody know about any service which would buy me book in Indian eshop (Amazon.in for example) and shippes it in Europe?
Or is there any Indian who would buy it for me and then send it to me, I would pay all the costs and some profit, Either in Paypal, Amazon Gift cards, TF2 keys, games, etc.

That would mean you'd have to trust a random Indian guy, I'd say VPN might net better results
ps. are we talking e-book or a physical copy?

The problem is not the access to the Indian sites, but a lack of shipping to Europe. When I talk about shipping I surely mean physical copy. :)

Depending on certain conditions, there can be quite a high amount of import fees on a book. But depending on what book you want, there may be other ways to get it.

There are no other ways, the book itself is not costly, 1 000 INR, I really don't worry about import fees, even if they were 100%. It is just not sold anywhere. It is an english translation of the book written by an Indian author.

Maybe contact the translator or publisher of the translated version directly and explain your situation, they will maybe appreciate the effort and help you.

This not a new book, think it was published like 25 years ago. For all I know the translator maybe long dead. The author is dead for more than a decade.

Haha true, well that leaves the publisher if the company is still active or you could try on some (indian) reading/book forum I guess the scam rate is a little lower there than your random gaming forum. Or hope steamgifts contains some legit Indian guy who will show up here :p

Well just look at how much posts he made and if he maybe organizes stuff there, maybe linked to his facebook or something. I don't know I'm not an expert on book forums but I don't think they are like "yo +rep fam, awesome insightz on dat novel" so no rep system :p

why would you buy a book from India and ship it to Europe?

it makes no sense when you have Russia closer. Buy it from Russia if you wish to find a better price than in EU (i ordered a PC case a month ago from Russia and their shipping was simply excellent)

My god, it is not about price or anything as I explained before, it is not sold anywhere else, it is a book from an Indian author.
