    [Question] DHL India charges for incoming international shipping.

    Tried to source automatic watches. Luckily it was still cheaper than buying locally. They would reach you via phone and email. I pay these charges online and submit KYC documents. They do provide the option of paying offline at the time of delivery. You need to inform them when they follow up...

    Your Gaming Backlog/Progress Report!

    Finished Sniper Elite Resistance. I would give it a 5/10. Took me about 28 hours to complete all levels. Be it the graphics, enemy AI, map size, etc. The devs did not bother improvising anything from the previous SE5.

    Please suggest a good 650w PSU

    IMO 650w will barely give to any room for extra load when needed or future upgrades. Try using PSU calculator which can help you with a ballpark number and add 100-150w as buffer. Am assuming your build would need 580w to 600w PSU. Your're better off with a 750w or higher.

    The "Everyday" show-off thread !

    Aramex does not take internet or any utility bills? I face similar issues with Fedex and DHL. I just edit the address with a PDF editor on the internet bill and it goes through.
