This is now available on amazon.com (sorry it might have been available from few days but just saw it now). They won’t be shipping it to India, but at least they would ship to mail forwarders and shipping free for $50+ I believe. You can also try getting free prime shipping as 1 month trial.

Good news actually
But getting prime trial is a bad idea
Initially when i signed up for prime trial i was charged 6600 but when i cancelled the subscription after 5 days i was refunded only 6000 (Bank conversion charges arent refunded i guess)
I contacted Amazon US CC and they confirmed that they refunded the full amount and its my bank that charged me few extra bucks

I have never faced such situation. I have got prime trial with 2 credit cards and they were always charged $1 (in rupees) and the conversion charges were also refunded.

May be SBI is the culprit here

Maybe you can still raise a ticket on their portal and ask for a refund. How can they charge for something that was not paid at all?

Hmm i should’ve
its been more than 5 or 6 months back since this happened

Anyways there’s no free shipping for Lumia 640
Even though i added items from amazon.com LLC for more than 50$ i am being charged 13$ (8.68$ for shipping) for shipping and handling
Getting Free shipping option for the other 20$+ item though

@getready
Not an issue at all, even now you can raise the ticket and follow the escalation matrix. Their nodal officer would give a solution most probably but banking ombudsman will definitely solve the issue I believe.

My sis has prime shipping and it is free, not sure why it should be showing the shipping fee. Anyway amazon cc will refund if you ask them about it as it meets minimum shipping criteria of $50.

okay then i will raise a ticket today
Thanks
Cancelled the prime membership within a day

and i think i will skip the amazon order as even though amazon refunds the shipping fee, these two items will be sent in two different packages and for that i need to create two shipping ID’s on ppobox
