    It is always good to do a Yahoo search, well thats what I did to assist you. Look at this link below, and best is to write them an e-mail. They may be able to do some special arrangements for you. You can also talk to the stores in US to help you.

    how reliable is online shopping ?

    Dear all,

    Living out of country, many of us may want to send gifts to Parents or relatives on special occasion. We have to wait for some known person to travel back so that we can send the gift then we have to ask our relatives to go and pick it. With the present condition in India, especially places like B'lore ( I can say itas I am a native of Bangalore) where travlling from one place to another is very troublesome, they might even wish that we dont send them anything. With this situation, please share your experience or opinion about ordering online from here for delivery of gifts, flowers etc in India. Many of us may be benifitted by this.
    I personally do not know how reliable and safe it is to order online. Firstly we have to risk giving our Credit card details, then we have to take the risk of not knowing the quality of product delivered. Any body has experience . pls share

    Regards
    Lakshmi

    Hi Lakshmi,
    I have done lot of online shopping when i was in the states. Obviously won't give your credit card away to places u r not sure off. Have never faced any problems. It's pretty neat.Even now i send gifts to India thru rediff and it has been great experience.

    Hi rani,

    Could you pls give me a few reliable sites for such shopping. Do they generally have a local address for contact in case of need, or they are only on net.
    I hope others also comeup with their openion. Even if they have not used, at least give an openion on whether thry would try it or not.

    Regards
    Lakshmi

    Re: how reliable is online shopping ?

    Hi All,

    I would like to share my personal thoughts about online shopping

    1) It is very convenient way of shopping.It includes ease of finding a product,time spent
    on shopping and efforts.

    2) Its a win-win situation for both society and individuals.There is no need for vendors
    and no pressure of buy.

    3) There is infinite variety of products available online because online shopping allows consumers to browse
    through products that are made all around the world without geographical boundaries.

    4) We can do product comparision,compare product prices and their features.

    5) But Sometimes I feel ,when shopping independentl online,the enjoyment is lost.

    6) We have to give a lot of personal informaton.Major concern is credt card frauds,unwanted solicitation and use of information for other purpose.

    Re: valentine's day gift

    Its a very tough query and most of IL's definitely might have got this query for certain situations and special days!

    Definitely guys have very less number of gifts to choose, But the following can be tried!

    1. A good T-Shirt
    2. A good Wallet
    3. A music CD or movie DVD of his own choice
    4. If he is a smoker, you can buy a good lighter
    5. I-Pod
    6. Definitely a Gold ring or chain


    Out of this, your presence will be a good gift to him with a redrose and a Kiss!!!!!!!!!!
