Anyway, I have tracked down the clause in the Finance Bill that makes this amendment. But I am not sure how Aramex is applying it to the Shopandship service. Has anyone seen such a communication from any other service? I plan to write to Aramex about my doubts. | |

Senior - BHPian | ![]() Recent experience with Amazon.in: Around two weeks back, I placed an order for a book, a car charger and the Jopasu duster rejuvenator. The deliver date had been stated as 15th April or before. I got the charger on 13th April on my office address. The book showed out for delivery on 14th, but wasn't delivered the whole day. I left for Mumbai on 14th evening and at the airport I received a message saying the courier needed more details in the address and so the package had not been delivered. I reported the matter to Amazon support, stating that another package from the same order had been delivered by the same courier to the same address. By the night of 14th, I received an email informing me of a Rs. 100 credit in my Amazon account for goodwill gesture. Because they had failed to deliver. I got both the items the following Monday. Mighty impressed with Amazon. |

Infractions: 0/1 (7) | ![]() The value of goods ordered is 136 dollars. If the shipping cost is included it comes to179. Will the custom duty be calculated on 136 dollars or it will be calculated on shipping cost as well ie on 179 dollars ? |

| ![]() Hello All, There is an offer on Flipkart for PS4. On any credit card / debit card, you get 5000 off! I ordered Ps4 500 GB with two controllers for 24,999 - official price 29,999. Seems this may not last long. JLS |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Just thought of sharing my 'bad experience' with Pepperfry... I had been purchasing stuff from Pepperfry since last one year or so and quite happy with their products. But, the recent product that I brought, i wanted to return it as it had a design issue with the product. That's when i got to experience how tough these guys can become when i want to return something, the reason for which is not 'as per their policy'. The product that i wanted to return was not defective or damaged, just that it had a design defect because of which it was difficult for us to operate it. Now, as per their return policy, they cannot refund for these kind of reasons. So my request was out rightly rejected. I have been shopping from Amazon and Snapdeal (and earlier Flipkart) since last 5-6 years and having experienced their return policy, i realized how different (and difficult) these guys are compared to Amazon, FK or SD! |

I had a decent return experience from Pepperfry a couple of years back. This was an MDF wardrobe. It started shaking from day 1 and I was not confident of the quality. They tried to convince me to keep it, offered to send an expert carpenter to repair it, offered to pay me 1/3rd of the cost back and I can still keep the product etc. I rejected all offers and asked for a full refund and return. They honoured it. I guess the policy may have changed since then. | |

Just to quote one of my other experience with pepperfry, recently i had ordered couple of chairs from them. When i received them, i saw lot of dust/stains and couple of scratches on the product. So, when i raised the request for return, they did offer me 'partial refund' (more than 50% refund) with the option of keeping the product. This option sounded attractive for me and hence i accepted their offer. So, that way, their return policy may still be the same. Just that we cannot return their product unless it is damaged, defective or not as described in the site. | |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() One of my shipment is stuck at Bangalore sub foreign post office since 12th April. Date Time Country Location Event Type Mail Category Next Office Extra Information 12/04/2017 12:40:26 India KOLKATA FOREIGN LCAO Transfer from office of exchange (Inb) Air BANGALORE SUB FGN POST I have raised a complaint, no response. So sent an email to CPMG Karnataka Circle, who forwarded to Asst PMG (BD), who forwarded that to SSPOS EAST BANGALORE. Not sure how many more forwards before I get a response. Also wonder why India post is giving the highest authorities email id as the first escalation point. |

| ![]() I was thinking of buying a Lenovo ZUK Z2 Pro from AliExpress. ~$280 for Snapdragon 820, 5.2" AMOLED 1080p display, 6GB/128GB without being too big like One plus 3/T. This duty hike has made me drop the plan. Looks like the government will be able to achieve what it wanted to, i.e stop most buyers from importing cheaper stuff from China ![]() ![]() Last edited by theredliner : 28th April 2017 at 11:19. |
