| ![]() Has anyone got access to this Amazon Pay ICICI Credit card? Seems pretty neat, considering I do a lot of purchasing on Amazon, helps with the 6 month No Cost EMI options. I have not got an invite yet. |

Do you have an option to invite others to apply for the card through your username? | |

| ![]() Thanks Sun'J. Another question: If I buy something worth about 120 USD on Aliexpress and DHL is the shipping partner to India - will i get slapped over at Customs? |

PS Some parcels I've received from Germany shipped through DHL were handled by IndiaPost locally, probably because they were sent through 'Economy shipping' option. Last edited by theredliner : 8th February 2019 at 13:11. | |

This is for a single biometric door lock unit. I'll be damned if they can find an applicable duty for it. Aliexpress standard shipping costs 60 USD vs DHL which costs 20 USD. Will try and see if there are any other sellers/sites from which I can buy through India Post. Last edited by Red Liner : 8th February 2019 at 13:20. | |

If DHL is charging 20 USD, it will be economy shipping I believe. I used to pay 20-25 EUR for riding gear shipped from Germany through DHL and it used to be handled by India Post here. All dealing with customs would have to be done by you personally. I used to send the invoice through email whenever the tracking page suggested that the package was held by customs. They would charge some duty the details of which I would come to know about only when the postman would reach out to me about the pending duty. For more expensive shipping methods, these companies generally handle the clearance themselves (has happened with Aramex, Fedex etc.). Economy shipping with DHL used to take about 1 month to reach from Germany. AliExpress standard shipping too is handled by India Post here, but reaches in 15-20 days on an average.

23% duty still makes it cheaper than 50% of what Godrej sells here in India. | |

| ![]() Been using the Kindle app on iPad for a while. Today, I was about to purchase Kuldeep Nayar's On Leaders and Icons: From Jinnah to Modi. Strangely, the Kindle edition is priced higher than the hardcover version. What gives? |

| ![]() I have bought 2Nos. of the Petronas Tutela Technyx 75W85 GL4+ 1 Ltr Packs from 99rpm.com on recommendation of many fellow bhpians. The order was placed on 24-01-2019 afternoon at 13:26 hrs by paying through Netbanking. As I was skeptical about the delivery of product without getting the order into their trashbin and money in their wallet, I placed order for 2Nos. of Bottles only (as against 4 Bottles to keep 2 Nos. for future use). I received email on 27-01-2019 at 5:29 Hrs stating Quote:
But then I thought- OK Lets see how long this delivery will take as this is my first order. Then I received email and sms from them on 28-01-2019 evening with shipment details of Fedex. I did not understand why did the Fedex took it all over to Hyderabad from Pune and back to Pune and then delivered to me in Solapur even though they could have easily sent to Solapur directly from Pune. ![]() Also I was thinking about the case of Anurag buying Engine Oil and some oil was spilled in the outer plastic bag due to poor packing/mishandling until I saw the outer plastic bags of my order to be clean. ![]() Also the Date of Mfg is 07-2016 as seen here- ![]() ![]() I will update about the performance of this Gear Oil which I will get done on this Thursday or Friday in the Synthetic Gear Oil Thread. | |
