Online Booksellers offering cheap international postage options

santoshm · Sep 27th, 2009, 17:28

Hello,

I am in New Zealand and am constantly amazed by the cheap prices for books in India. But I have not had much luck finding a bookseller who will send books using one of the cheaper postage options available from the Indian postal department.

Do you folks know of any such booksellers? Preferably ones that allow ordering online.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions you might have.

Many of these books(if they are Indian editions of foreign publications) are meant to be sold in India only. So I dont think there will be a (legal) way of ordering them online.

Bwha, ha, ha. Its done routinely! Use addall.com to get texts, etc. The big problem is that book post was stopped in the US at least so the cost increased. My boy gets his books for as little as a dollar apiece but the shipping & handling fee is a good bit more. Everyone comes in..
