AmazonGlobal Offers Free Super Saver International Shipping to India

Did you know AmazonGlobal Free Super Saver International Shipping Program promises free shipping to India if you buy eligible products worth $125 or more!

I have lots of books in my Amazon Wishlist, but the International Shipping Cost is very high as Amazon will charge $4.99 per item and $4.99 per shipment. Also there are a limited list of items likes books, CDs, DVDs,Kindle etc. which they will ship internationally. So even if you decide to combine items in a single consignment, the cost for 5 books of any cost price will still come to nearly $30. In fact your purchased books might cost less than the international shipping costs.

Though I have bought hard to find books many times from Amazon, the high shipping costs were discouraging. In fact, when I bought Kindle in India, they will also add import duties (but at least you can get Kindle in India – though Kindle is now available at Croma, Amazon will still not ship Kindle Paperwhite internationally).

Free International Shipping

Here are a set of 5 books I wanted to buy from Amazon, and got free shipping to India! Simply choose the Free AmazonGlobal saver options which will ship your books in 9-14 days.

As you proceed to checkout, the AmazonGlobal Saver discount refunds the Shipping and Handling charges.

If you read the full details of the AmazonGlobal program, you find that there are some special terms for eligible products and getting free shipping. Its is important to ship to single address in India and group items into as few shipments as possible. Note that products weighing more than 20 pounds and over-sized products aren’t eligible for this deal. If you combine ineligible products, shipping will be charged for them. Be aware that import duties, handling fees etc may still apply and it is a good idea not to cancel orders so that the cost goes below $125.

After Amazon introduced Junglee in India, it turned out to be only a shopping search engine. This is actually an amazing step by Amazon to promote sales internationally. I am now more than eager to buy books at Amazon (though I prefer Flipkart locally), as they have the largest collection of hard to find books and free shipping makes it really easier. The delivery time delay is not much of an issue and practically speaking – Amazon ships much-much faster than what it mentions. Get ready to buy now.

Build Your Own Awesome Personal 3D Avatar with Avatara

Do you use social networks and want to build your own awesome 3D avatar? Maybe you want to send someone a cute cuddly image of yourself (kind of)? Or maybe you have your own ideas of what you would do with an Avatar… Well look no further than Avatara which I discovered from the MakeUseOf directory . You can create 3d avatars out of pre-set up templates or create your own from scratch. To start, visit Avatara’s homepage . You will see this screen: Click Get Started to umm, get started! That will take you to this screen: You see that you can build your own Avatar using an uploaded head shot like the Obama one above (just an example, guys). Or roll with one of their awesome avatars. I chose to start with a blank avatar by clicking Start with a blank avatar at the bottom of the screen. That takes you to here: I clicked on the filter at the top and told it to filter out everything but male characters and then I saw this: I rolled with Buck and continued. You need to click Select...

MoviePass drops pricing to under $7 per month, if you opt for the annual plan

MoviePass, the subscription service that lets consumers pay a monthly fee to see unlimited movies in theaters across the U.S., is slashing its prices yet again. The company announced today it’s now offering its service for $6.95 per month, down from the current price of $9.95 per month, when customers commit to a one-year subscription plan. That works out to a flat fee of $89.95 annually. The deal is a limited-time promotion, as opposed to a permanent pricing change, but MoviePass didn’t say how long the offer is valid. However, it is open to both new and existing subscribers – the latter who would receive a 25 percent savings on their current subscription if switching over to the annual plan. This is not the first time that MoviePass has dropped its pricing. When the company introduced its $9.95 per month, one-movie-per-day plan this August, down from $15 for 2 movies per month (or more in select markets like L.A. and NYC, and going as high as $50), it saw so many new sign-up...
