If you are eyeing some products on US shopping sites, the Black Friday Sale, which started on Friday, 29 November, and Cyber Monday are the days to get the best deals. The Monday after Black Friday is known as Cyber Monday, when retailers and sites offer the biggest discounts on electronics and subscriptions.
Most of these deals won't directly ship across so you'll need to rely on a friend or a relative, or use a third-party shipping service.
How to Ship Products to India?
There are chances that you’ll find many retailers who don’t ship the products. In that scenario, you can always make use of third party service providers who can ship the products for you. There are companies like Viabox and Shop and Ship that offer such services and are reliable.
Given the international travel and transit restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it’s best to reach out to the shipping company whose service you are planning to use and confirm if they are shipping to India.
The moment you make the purchase and the product reaches your account, these companies will ship the product to your local address in India.
