| ![]() When you buy something you end up liking so much you eventually wish you'd bought two! This is the case with my small Nitecore SRT3 torch, and the model is discontinued now. It is available from Lightorati. I didn't have any luck with their site at all: I completely failed to register/login on two browsers, and their contact-us link doesn't seem to work. Forgot about all that for a few weeks, and revisited it this week. Now I find their Whatsapp link doesn't work either. So, not doing too well for me on the online shopping front. I tried their main number on Whatsapp. Initially it was answered by a machine, but I soon got a real human on the line, who was friendly and helpful. I made a bank transfer and my torch was delivered the next day. I guess their site must work for others! Anyway, final result is that they get good marks from me for customer service. |

I used to frequent audio forums, and can't say I am completely ignorant of the very high rates of duty if buying stuff from abroad. I took a fancy to an item on Indigogo: a combination of hearing aid and ear bud, cost about US200. NB, my actually hearing aids are 1 lakh for the pair, and they are actually cheaper here than in some other countries. The fact that it will be delivered through DHL didn't bode well. They handle the hassle of customs, but do so scrupulously, and, unlike post, nothing gets lucky and gets through. I guess the shippers must have under-declared. Anyway, customs are suspicious and DHL ask me to provide documentation. And I get a bill for over Rs.14k. On top of the Rs.17k-converted of the original purchase. They are yet to be delivered: let's hope they are worth it! ![]() | |

On this occasion, I have to praise DHL! It isn't their fault that the duty had to be paid, that's the relationship they have with customs, and there is no space for negotiation. They make it easy to pay online, albeit with some fee added. There was no trouble with silly KYC objections. I paid the tax: delivery was next day. Courier called this morning. Was able to speak to me in English (shame admitted, not learning Tamil) and said, he knew the landmark and would be here in 30 minutes. He was. So no DHhelL this time ![]() | |

| ![]() Pardon me if this isn't the thread for this, but... I have placed an order for a Motorola Edge 20 and have offered my Oneplus 7 in exchange for Rs. 12750. I checked cashify and they are offering Rs 3000 more, but the trouble is they don't service my pincode. But I can drive 10 minutes to a pincode they do service. Before signing up for so much trouble for 3K, does cashify usually pay the promised amount, or would there be haggling? How is the general experience with cashify here? |

I can answer this question since I sold my OnePlus 7 to cashify for around 17k. The person will check the device thoroughly so I would advise you to clean your phone from the outside if you are using a case as they treat some dust marks as scratches. That's the only thing that involves haggling otherwise it's a smooth experience as you are getting the money in your bank account if you've chosen the bank transfer option. | |

It was on July 24th. It was a pre-order and it is supposed to ship tomorrow. Fingers crossed. No news on the next sale date. Last edited by civic-sense : 8th September 2021 at 19:12. | ||

| ![]() Has anyone bought a OnePlus phone from their official site? Are they reliable in delivery? The Nord 2 8 GB is out of stock on Amazon, so thinking of getting it from here. |

It reminds me of CashKaro app, I'm not sure how legit it is or if anybody has used it before. I logged in to CashKaro app and then made the purchase through the OnePlus link . The apps shows a cashback of ₹1.5k tracked and says it is transferable to bank account once the transaction window is complete. Let's see if it comes or not! | |

Example (Please note it's not a recommendation. I am not sure which seller sells a decent model of this kit on Amazon) You can try this setup if you'd like. You can then use generic ink to save on the recurring cost. | |
