    just buy it through kapruka or aramax shopandship.You dont have to use amazon shipping.

    amazon shipping way better than those. You just have to buy multiple items together to reduce shipping cost not just 1 item

    also buying through a 3rd party courier means technically you aren't the owner of the product so aftersales service+rma would be quite a hassle

    no kapruka buys the item under their name & ships to us. That's how kapruka global service works.
    What they did was when we send them the link they buy that product through their center in America under that address & ownership. Not ours. And from there, Kapruka ships to SL
    However it isn't profitable at all now since Amazon does ship to Sri Lanka.

    I did buy a couple of items directly from Amazon recently so I know how it works.
    There are some items like monitors, psus that are taxed heavily+ insane shipping costs & I asked if kapruka can bring them & they said they can't.

    So their business basically ran out of "business" since Amazon ships to LK directly & because of that they can't offer reasonable margins as far as I know :P

    This is one of my research threads. I've updated it after purchase

    you have to check with kapruka about the costs. but imo it's not worth it cause you won't be the owner of the product so even if it breaks down you won't be able to get a replacement. at least not without some hassle + extra costs.
    Amazon customer services are pretty good
