Most of the times items are shipped with Govt mail and it takes 3 - 5 weeks for delivery and there is no shipping cost. You can choose for faster shipping like UPS, but that would obviusly cost more. Postal dept has International mail department that would notify you about customs duty once item reaches India. Usually there is no duty for items valued upto 10000. -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
