    Monitors Monitor Died. Please suggest a new one

    So folks, I researched a lot today in between the breaks at work. This led to more of an analysis paralysis on the problem. On the bright side, I did manage to rule out a few of the shortlisted monitors, with good reason, but I am still unsure of what will suit me the best in the long run. I...

    My monitor from 2014 BenQ XL2411T just refused to turn on suddenly. I will try to revive it as a DIY project but it also had developed a slight burn patch in the centre. Nonetheless, it served me very well. I had shortlisted a few monitors as I did plan to replace it when I the right time or...

    Purchased an item from overseas during Black Friday, and now I'm facing a minimum of 42% in import fees!

    Hello gents! Final update. So the package was delivered via DTDC. I suspect I paid for it in the guise of the handling charges. Not much to state about shipping except it took about 18 days to reach me, which is fast considering it was an international shipment. About the product, I order Quad...

    Laptop stolen from shipment

    Good observation and I am glad you noticed it. Of course they did. They are offering a proof as they see fit. You were not the first victim as he had the CCTV footage as a ready to cover his misdeeds but there is no guarantee that he won't try the same with other buyers. This instance could've...

    Laptop stolen from shipment

    A similar incident happened in two different past employers. In both the cases, the company absorbed the loss and changed the process of such deliveries. It eventually became a game of passing the blame in the admin department as the bosses only needed a head to pin the blame but nothing came of...

    Purchased an item from overseas during Black Friday, and now I'm facing a minimum of 42% in import fees!

    So, I have an update. I was eventually charged 42.9% but the courier company also added ₹590 as handling charges. I did protest about these with the seller who claimed free shipping but I just received a long sweetly worded message stating they cannot do anything about this and also not to...

    Purchased an item from overseas during Black Friday, and now I'm facing a minimum of 42% in import fees!

    Hong Kong. I am based in Mumbai :confused: I came to know about DPEX for the first time after this purchase as well but apparently it probably has a small setup in India and it does deliver door-to-door. Furthermore, in my case, the shipping cost is not mentioned separately in the invoice so I...

    Purchased an item from overseas during Black Friday, and now I'm facing a minimum of 42% in import fees!

    Well, I cannot utilise Pandabuy or the likes of it as shipping is bourne by the seller. The invoice is attached with the item which states the value of the goods is $90.91 so the only my credit card statement can be of use to support the actual purchase value so I am looking at 42% on $91.

    Purchased an item from overseas during Black Friday, and now I'm facing a minimum of 42% in import fees!

    Hello everyone, this is a sort of PSA as well as a TIFU thread to help others avoid the same mistake I made. For a long time, I had my eye on a Quad Lock mount for my motorcycle, and every year, I would eagerly anticipate the 30% Black Friday discount. After upgrading my motorcycle from a Honda...
