Is it worth buying Household Items in Qatar and take it to India
I am constructing a House in India. Wondering whether I can buy house hold items like LCD,Split ACs,cooking range, furniture etc from Qatar and take it to India. If yes what are the suggested items to purchase here. Also any reliable Sea Cargo -door to door service available
Thanks in advance
Good Qaulity branded materials will get in India..these are made in China...
Electronic items are subject to guarantee or warranty. What will you do if something goes wrong with the LCD TV, Slit AC, Washing Machine and Cooking Range? If your are buying them from India most of them are with 2-5 years warranty and some are with 1-2 years guarantee. Some brands are offering extended warranty by paying some extra money. If something goes wrong you can call the shop where you bought it and they will arrange with the Service Centre for the necessary action. I know that some products have International Warranty but it is not as easy as you are buying something locally in India. Further more you will have to spend a lot of money for cargo even if it is by sea.
Not at all recommended - you get every households at your doorsteps. You could carry some of the best chocolates etc. instead...which will be cheaper than duty free shops there.
I did that mistake six years ago. Dealing with clearing agents at customs, and labourer union at customs yard was a nightmare I will never forget.They suck your blood to the last drop.
Dude, it is not good idea to buy house hold items from here, since all the branded stuffs easily available in India with better price & warranty.
NOOOOOOOO.
only few items I found in Qatar which has good quality and cheap price compared to India are :-
1. Saffron
2. Gold (Price is almost same But quality is good )
A big no...U just waste money on shipping...And u get very good ones in India.
I don't think its a good idea to buy the stuff here to be used in India. All the good brands you get here are availablein Indai now and not much of a price difference when you consider the pains to ship it to India from here. Also Its best that you buy it from India coz just in case something goes wrong, you can get good customer support in India. When you take it from here, you are giving them a chance to charge you more!!
