    Any experience with Cordelia cruises?

    I have not been on cruises, but know some one who does cruises (Princess, Royal Caribbean) regularly and often discusses with me as I plan to book one myself.

    Non Tech/ General hot deals thread

    I use Amex. No questions asked, they refund within 24hours if I request for a chargeback on deficiency in service (like non-delivery) Axis is terrible, they ask for FIR to raise a chargeback. Meanwhile, I received all the stuff on time and witnessed gold price skyrocket in the last 2-3 days.

    Non Tech/ General hot deals thread

    Well known brand across Bangalore. I have bought some worth about 80k for family members from the ongoing sale. They fully waived off making charges which was 20%. Shipping is slow. They take several days to deliver locally, I paid via credit card that comes with purchase protection.

    Too much Ads on Techenclave.com

    Ads are fine, make them a bit discreet? The new ones are bit intrusive and often make us think we have reached the end of a thread.

    Experiences with Sarvam Shop?

    You can interact with the shop on Instagram. Generally responsive. However, the collection hasn't been updated other than MiniGT's in recent times. Hotwheels are scooped up by scalpers these days and re-sold at an inflated price. Shops in Bangalore mostly stock less popular models these days...
