Honestly, $45 for just hemming a jeans isn't worth it. Most people spend btw $50 to $150 on a pair of jeans. If you are spending in excess of $200-300, you may still consider spending $45, but otherwise, a big NO!
In India, every shop including Tommy, CK, even Levis, just anybody who you buy it from does this work free of cost. And if you hire the services of an entry level tailor, he usually charges around $2-3 for this, max to max sub $5.
Even if you send them to India and get them back, it will be cheaper than $45 one way.
Sending jeans to India one way is like $15, so you would end up spending $35-40 all inclusive, at most, that is.
And that I would say isn't a very feasible solution.
You should probably try to get it done for some ten odd bucks or so, max.
