Hello everyone. I am Siddharth from Gurgaon and was just googling into the solutions wherein I could probably get my laptop from the states. Well to share with you I bought this laptop in march and it's been lying idle there since then. My close relative was planning a trip to india then but the trip has been delayed due to some unforeseen circumstances. So my pappy is stuck up there with no sight of it arriving in the distant future. So I wanted some expert opinions as to how to get it to india. Kindly suggest.

First is that I plan a trip to the states for a week
Or 10 days and get it myself. Appx cost of the trip would be 1.2lacs

Second is that I get it couriered and pay the custom duties on it. Don't know how much would it be. Any ideas anyone. ? And how safe is the process and which courier to be used?

The laptops MRP is 3000usd. Its in Troy. Any help is appreciated.
