I thought to let you knw the aftermath...  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/P.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":P" title=":P    :P" data-shortname=":P" />  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/shocked.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":shocked:" title="Shocked    :shocked:" data-shortname=":shocked:" /> I just went ahead and bought a digital camera from Amazon.com. (It is a really good one and I was so tempted to buy it. Of course I had a look here: in SL it costs around Rs. 35k) Price on Amazon was about 1/3 of the local price(abt $115).Its only shipped to US from Amazon but I had a US postal address ready. From there I got the package couriered. DHL paid all the damn local taxes before bringing it to my doorstep. Whole thing took little less than 2 weeks and the service was at best both by Amazon, my US remailer and DHL. (Camera is really good too. I'm happy <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/D.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" /> )But the local taxes here @ SL made me so irritated!!! They have implied lot of taxes(customs duty, VAT, EDI, CESS, etc..) and it is even close to the items' original price. (Fortunately its for Digital cameras: for computer accessories taxes are much lower than that)  Bottom line is : Yes buying online saved me quite a few thousand rupees(compared with buying locally). However I'm really unhappy that they extort that much of hard earned money as taxes. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/angry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":angry:" title="Angry    :angry:" data-shortname=":angry:" />   Yeah.. I'm still paying the government taxes even with my salary u knw. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/wink.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" data-shortname=";)" />But anyway hope I'll be shopping soon(after I got some money at hand of course) for more things. But it needs a careful analysis of prices b4 buying. You always have to calculate the cost with taxes in mind unless for items is free of taxes.  <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/yes.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":yes:" title="Yes    :yes:" data-shortname=":yes:" /> cheers</blockquote>
