It happens every single time. I like a product and want to order and it doesn't get shipped to India. Frustrating!

It's a shame indeed. Then again we are a pretty small market with arbitrary customs screening at border.

I usually ask one of my friends to get similar products when they visit India but with the pandemic, it doesn't look like it'll happen for a year.

Use a freight forwarder?

A lot of companies won't ship to known freight forwarders because it triggers fraud measures (because freight forwarders are often used for cc fraud schemes).
