I knew about SLMEGA, but the thing is that they're way too expensive. Everything is way overpriced there.

Checkout Aramex Shop & Ship service. You won't have to depend on anyone, and the freight charges are pretty reasonable.

@Bloodlust, Like Gayan said, are customs charges also included? And can I just go to their office and tell them what I want and then will they get it down for me? Or how does it work?

Go to Aramex.com. You'll get all the info you need there.
When you register for Shop & Ship you get a US mail address which you can use to ship stuff to from online shopping sites. Then Aramex will deliver the items to you.
The prices you get from the Rate Calculator are excluding local customs, which will be decided once the stuff comes down here.

Note that to use Newegg.com, you will need a Credit Card issued in America. And the Shipping address has to be the same as the billing address of the card. So it's a bit of a pain. But I think other sites such as Tigerdirect accept local cards. buy.com and amazon do for sure.

I also came across some sites that ship to SL directly. The links are on my office computer tho. Will post them tomoro. :nerd:

I found out Aramex shipping charges today.

For 1st 500g -> $50
For each additional 500g -> $7
plus A fuel Surcharge or sumthing.

But if you use their Shop & Ship service, for the 1st 500g it's only $12.50.

    Those are Courier Charges.
    Try normal Airmail registered post.

    Where I'm now
    The easiest way is to find someone coming from there,and ship the items to him when he is close to depart from USA.Unfortunately you cant shop from newegg as it requires a US addressed credit/debit card.buy,zipzoomfly,TG and amazon will be your choices.

    Thanks for all the help. But how exactly do I find people who're coming from the US?

    Also, how would I go about buying from abroad with regular air mail and with cash only (don't have a credit card)?

    All help appreciated ;).
