First I want to clear that I am aware that SGBs is ideally a very good way to have gold exposure in your portfolio. But lately, there has been no new tranches and also there is lock-in period of 8 years (to avail tax free returns). I am trying to diversify my portfolio which is equity heavy...

For Vietnam, if you paid 1200 at airport then I guess the eSIM works better for me as I am seeing $12.5 something for 5GB daily limit for 10 days on Vinaphone network.

Thank you so much for this website. I was not aware about it and this is like a comparison website for multiple options. Much appreciated.

Hi All. I want opinions from people here who have traveled internationally and availed eSIM prior to their departure and then activated and used in destination country. How was your experience and which was the destination country. I am completely aware that buying physical sim at airport etc...

Also saw these 2 from Eureka Forbes. How good they may be...

I am in market for a portable vacuum cleaner. Those Dyson upright ones types but the dyson is super expensive. Main use will be to clean corners and shelves where dust settles and It looks like I live in a desert without any windows In my home. Suction should be very good. We are completely OK...

Here is the breakup of the 32Kg package I mentioned. Seems ₹800 + Nirmala tax is the advancement charge. To be honest, in such a situation, I wont mind paying it because it is even ridiculous to think that I could escape with a under ₹1000 customs (not considering advancement charge) for a 32...

Yes. But probability of customs opening package may increase. My 300 gms fake lego package was opened and resealed by customs and assessed value was increased by about 3 usd.

I thought this was applicable only for airtags. This is watch SE which we got 2.5 years back.

So here is what happened. My wife has an iPhone and apple watch SE. Today, she had to go somewhere and I dropped off her to metro station and she forgot her phone in car. The watch she was wearing is Apple watch SE and it is NOT cellular version. So it needs the phone to fully function. Now I...

Duty is lesser, they have clearing etc charges. Still better than using ems and customs charging as per whatever they want.

Updated In main post at end. Not lucky. He has got packaged upto 15 kg from ups from china and undervalued and escaped with minimal city. The thing is, in xray, they would not raise suspicion as it is literally pieces of plastic and some paper(instruction). Hence I mentioned that you cannot...

OK. So i have an update about the fake lego shipment. One of our group members got 30 Kg shipped in 2 boxes (as he got stuff from 2 sellers on alibaba). So yes total weight is 30 kg. He paid $100 for shipping and it was expedite shipping using FedEx to his Bangalore address. He declared the...

Back to the Future Dlorean (knock off). Has a light brick too for the "Flux Capacitor". Made a temporary stand to make the car "fly".

Why? Shipping to even village should not be an issue na? Are you saying if I wanted something, I cannot send it to you through bluedart / dtdc? They sure have local partners if by themselves they don't deliver.

On alibaba? Did you happen to ask DDP rates? Also, I had once used a different freight forwarder from Delhi and got around 7.5 Kg shipped and I got 850 rupees per kg rate (rate applicable only above 5 Kg) and that was DDP. So without worrying about customs, I feel 850 was decent price.

I will NOT.....and let me tell you why. Please wait few days. Because I want to make sure the other guy's 20 Kg package arrives properly. I don't want you to suffer if something goes south. So please do wait. I will update this thread and will tag you.

I haven't ordered. Another guy has. Btw i asked same shipper for 5Kg and she quoted me around $35. But this doesn't mean 10 kg Wil be $70. It will be Little less. Basically, higher the weight, less per kg the rate.

Myself and few others folks from reddit have made a chat group on reddit as all of us are interested in Fake legos. One of the guys there has made an order of fakes legos there from alibaba and total weight of all is 20 Kgs. He has connected with a shipper on alibaba who gave him under $100...

So the replacement arrived today.
