To support this community arduino.cc for the fantastic forum instead of the spin-off arduino.org, I ordered on 2/1/2015 directly through the online store a Genuino UNO board.
Costs involved :
20 Euro - Genuino UNO board
15 Euro - Fedex shipping to India
12 Euro - additional local Fedex charges + Customs duty
Total = 47 Euro - or approx INR Rs: 3500/- whoa! & ouch!!!
Item reached India on 5/1/2015 from Hungary (I believe its not anymore from Italy). Cleared customs on 14/1/2015 & FEDEX delivered to my office in Bangalore city on 22/1/2015.
