I have a friend in US, who lost his job last month, and is coming to India next month. He is trying to find whether he can bring some goods that can be sold at bit profit, so that his ticket can get sponsored. I suggested him to get bike jacket, because I thought there are some great deals in US, and even at a bit premium people would buy it, coz there will be no customs hessle to be dealt with.

So here is the deal. You can get any jacket/glove/boots from US, and there are many closeouts going on on mesh jacket (I bought a Alpinestar jacket in 70$ last week). The handling cost will be as under:

$35 per jacket (delivery in Mumbai/Pune). Outstations will have to bear the cost of transport in India.
$10 per glove pair.
$15 per boot pair.

I shop at motorcycle-superstore.com, because they give free shipping in US for orders above $75, and $5 off on shopping above $100 (both offers can be combined).

Please note that this handling cost is additional to the 'shipped cost' of the goods in US. You can specify any website from which you want to buy. Also, the shipping cost cannot be combined, so it applies to each item you buy.

I am getting total 'zero dollars' from this deal, as I am just passing this along, to help that friend as well as fellow bikers. Mods, if this is against any rule, please let me know.

He will be leaving on Feb first/second week, so please order fast. We can also get some deal on laptop/camera/mp3 player, but haven't worked the handling cost yet.
