It works like this AFAIKI am skeptical about Amazon's success here because of the numerous hurdles in the form of 'humans'. Not much will affect the metro cities but its the Tier 2 cities & below & especially in less developed states (up/bihar etc) that there will be cases where packages might get lost and all of that. Though at present , things don't look like such as flipkart/hs18 have survived in making sure the package reaches the doorstep in good condition but I think its a matter of time the offline retailers/courier personnel find some nexus & ruin this sector. Indians are the most corrupt/thieves of them all.
Seller(only the ones fullfilled by amazon) sends their package to amazon mumbai they pack it and send it to you(its the same in USA)
Amazon should have like completly started a new company here,maybe that time they could retail here?

Everything sounds so sweet at the start, that's a rule of nature created by Humans
.I just came from a local original Adidas showroom & didn't buy anything coz the shopkeeper scratched the price tag & sold items with price listed Rs. 799 at Rs. 899. (the 7 was clearly visible)
Once they become established players then we'll see what 'offers' they have for us. (already 50rs charge for <500, it was expected though)

@theserpent: I get it, I think they may not make charge for cash on delivery in future if the competition gets more
Damn, too early to be excited
I was hoping we could get those GTX 660s they sell on main website for 150$ for same price plus shipping and tax:/
What makes you think they're exempt from customs and excise duties?
Open amazon UK or some of the european sites and you will be shocked at how much more expensive things are compared to the amazon US and usually amazon CA prices.

I agree, Indians will make this e-commerce sector another place for exploiting people & after sometime , some mafia will gain hold of this & ruin it. :devil:

Probably not. It is amazon product and it might be available through some other sellers on amazon.in but not "sold by amazon" because of the FDI rules.
So should I wait for Amazon.in to launch Mobiles or should I go ahead with the purchase of Pantech Burst at iBhejo.com ?
You should not expect Pantech burst to be available on amazon. Its only available on ebay i suppose in India else you need to order from US site.
I hope everyone understands that amazon.in going live does not magically mean everything available on amazon.com will start appearing here. In fact it will never come (unless government changes ecommerce FDI rules). You will still get the same things you are getting on flipkart / hs18 / snapdeal etc etc.

In the near future, Govt. WILL change FDI & ecommerce + other economic rules,due to International pressure.
Meanwhile,we have to WAIIIITTTTTT.....
