Ordering books + DVDs from India online

Mikki · Feb 3rd, 2006, 17:41

Does anyone have a good address for me where I can order books + DVDs from India online? The Indian shops here only have the usual Bollywood things I don't enjoy. Thanks for any tips!

Here's one, Girri Trading .

But can you tell us more about what you are looking for, rather than just what you don't want, please?

I've had a lot of searches on www.abebooks.com come back with books from places like Oscar India. Never had a problem with an order (says he trying to remember what I've ordered from them over the years).

Thanks everybody! I'll send some e-mails off to these addresses tomorrow and see what happens.
Nick, I'm looking for Aparna Sen's films with English sub-titles.

Have you tried www.nehaflix.com (which is based in New Jersey) or www.indiaplaza.com? I just ordered the 1989 Sen film, "Sati" from nehaflix. It seems like they have almost all films that are released on DVD and what they don't have, they can get it for you within 14 days-1 month.

I did not realize that you were in Germany, Mikki. I just have information of places in the US though they might do international postage.

Probably not what you're looking for but still worth a try: http://www.exoticindia.com/

I noticed that some of the yoga books are less expensive here than on amazon.com

Oh boy!!!! The stuff you can get from these websites!!! Even saw a book on weight loss for Indians which with my passion for Indian food, I looked for in Delhi but never found. I think I'm living in the wrong country. Will order 15 Park Avenue from Indiaplaza and have it sent to the U.S. where I'm going to visit my family at the end of April. These websites are really mouth-watering!
thanks to all for introducing me to this world of terrible temptations

I recently tried www.bookshopofindia.com on recommendation from another IM'r, thinking it would take 3 months to get the stuff shipped by surface mail internationally, but it took just a little over a week! One of the books was obviously used, which I hadn't realized before, but the prices were so good I just couldn't complain.

Now I'm off to try all the new sites mentioned here...and I just finished planning my budget yesterday, too, GREAT timing
