Hi,

I would like to purchase few model kits of figures and military vehicles. I am based out of India and we don't get such kits here so am planning to buy it online. Which is the best website and the safest one where I can buy these model kits from ?

-Thanks,
Sudeep

I may get lynched for this Sudeep but I have had nothing but good luck with ebay. Great selection and if you go with a seller that has a large business total and good satisfaction scores you should do ok.
I get a lot of stuff sent to me in Thailand and have recieved everything I have ordered.
Good luck and happy hunting!

I never had a problem with Lucky Models. In stock items go right out. Very fair prices, brand new sealed stuff and good shipping fees. Ebay is good too BUT watch the shipping prices. Actually my favorite is from here, Armorama, "Buy, Sell. Trade" forum. Here you get honest descriptions of items, honest shipping prices, and you make friends. If what you want is here, I would get it here first then you have other options.

Thanks Chaz and Kevin for the pointers. Can you point to any member in this forum who has shipped materials to Asia or more importantly to India?

Gidd'ay mate,
People on Armourama will generally ship anywhere in the world because your paying the postage and for the most part everyone on here is honest and trustworthy but that doesn't mean everybody, same goes for ebay. I have used the online dealer 'Squadron' a lot and they are reliable and have free postage to US addresses if you spend over $100.00. If you have family or friends in the US get it sent there via Squadron at no charge and then they could send it on to you which helps with the peace of mind thing knowing it was shipped. Failing that insurance or Ebay protection cover which comes as stardard for a lot of deals. Good luck in whatever you decide. For what it's worth I have had a tonne of stuff shipped from the Staes and England to here in Australia and everything has arrived.....have never lost a single thing in 5 years now:-)
Regards
Sven
