how to buy products in US from India?
I have my friend in us now and I want him to bring me some electronic goods when he comes back. I want to pay online for the goods and give his address as shipping address. If I pay with my credit card, my bank is charging 3% transaction charges. I want to avoid this. How to do that? how to pay in us dollars with current day’s exchange rate without any extra charges?
You can send the money via regular mail.
There is no way to escape a charge inasmuch as at some point, some institution is guaranteeing responsibility for the money in transit. This is the case even with a wire transfer. Too, you are asking for special treatment for services rendered by financial institutions. I find that peculiar as we all have to endure the costs of doing business.
