The Hidden Barrier: Why Direct Shipping Often Fails

While the demand for modular tech is high, Indian buyers often face a wall when trying to purchase directly from the Framework US store. The first obstacle is the BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) certification, which can complicate individual imports. More importantly, Framework's checkout system is highly sensitive to billing addresses. Many enthusiasts find their orders cancelled because the store often blocks international credit cards or flags addresses associated with a freight forwarder. Using a tax-free us address from comGateway is the first step, but the payment method is often where the transaction fails.

BuyForMe vs Standard Checkout

If you have tried to shop us store sites like Framework, Apple, or even Nike, you know the frustration of the "Order Cancelled" email. These stores frequently decline non-US credit cards to prevent unauthorized reselling. This is where the "BuyForMe" service becomes essential. Instead of risking a declined transaction, you can use comGateway's proxy shopping service. We purchase the item on your behalf using a US-based payment method, ensuring the order is accepted. This is the most reliable way to secure high-demand electronics without the headache of payment compatibility issues.

Why use BuyForMe for Framework?

• Guaranteed acceptance on the Framework US store.
• No need to worry about your Indian credit card being flagged.
• Seamless integration with your package forwarding account.

Shipping Estimates for your Framework 13

To help you estimate shipping cost to India, we have analyzed the typical dimensions of the Framework 13 Lunar Lake edition. You can also use our shipping calculator for a more precise quote based on your specific city.

Navigating India's Import Tax and Regulations

When you forward packages to India, the most significant cost after shipping is the import tax. Electronics typically attract a Basic Customs Duty (BCD) plus Integrated Goods and Services Tax (IGST). For a high-value item like the Framework 13, ensure you have your KYC documents ready for the courier (like DHL international shipping or FedEx international shipping) to clear customs quickly. Being prepared for these costs ensures there are no surprises when your international shipping arrives at your doorstep.

Battery Safety and Shipping Rules

The Framework Laptop 13 contains a high-capacity Lithium-ion battery (UN3481). Because of this, it is subject to specific shipping rules. Most major carriers can handle these, but they must be declared correctly. Please review the prohibited items and restricted goods list to understand how we manage battery-operated devices.
