tip is that first confirm the dealer that the product will be shipped to india or not
and
check the negative and positive comments of the seller

First of all why are you getting an external hard drive all the way from the States? If it were something that wasn't available in India then fine. But hard drives cost almost the same out here.

As for it being safe, I have bought stuff from the States, twice. Both times the stuff arrived. But you can never say. Always pay via Paypal.
