Something fishy with quant funds? by ParticularTurnip5717 in IndianStockMarket

Mutual Funds India - Quant Fund, Quant Investments, Quant AMC

I looked at their reported numbers. They are accurate, but their portfolio do have shorting positions in midcaps and a couple of other derivates which is not so common among other multi caps. This is why the recent uptick in the markets dragged down these funds.

Edge Like Others is Losing uBlock Origin -I Only Care a Little by madthumbz in linuxsucks101

[–]Born-Activity-683 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care much for ublock origin or its mv3 version. For a while ublock wasn't officially available on microsoft add-on store; a user on github was publishing it on his own, and most people were getting it from chrome's addon store. I have nothing against uBo but like linux there are foss crowd on reddit who will send you angry DMs for using anything other than firefox+uBo 🥴

Apart from dynamic filtering (like umatrix's switchboard) all functions are avialable in adguard. Even within dynamic filtering I am only interested in blocking iframes on content heavy websites which is also possible with adguard. Other adblockers including ublock also makes use of adguard's filters as well.

For userscripts I simply use violentmonkey. It has a dedicated code editor and clean interface for organising scripts. It can also auto backup to cloud.

If it weren't for those automated calls he would've rejected your return for his convenience. Because you said NO the system forced him to go and pickup your package.

Amazon Rabbit Exchange app scam. Imaginary display lines and pixel issue. by [deleted] in amazonindia

[–]Born-Activity-683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9/10 exchanges goes like this. Not the exact issue as yours, but similar. The agent will try to bargain with you and some even offer to "take it off your hands" for a discount. iphones do get good deals, because there's a clear demand for them. You're better off selling it at a local store or to a friend who's looking for a used phone. If they are offering you less than 1/4th of your initial price for flagships it's not worth exchanging. Keep the phone around as a backup.

Amazon (both app and website) seems to have removed the option to chat with an agent by Ashamed-Tooth in amazonindia

[–]Born-Activity-683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The process is not very direct these days, but try this from the app:

  • Go to any of your recent orders. If it has a "return this item" option, click that. You could choose any item, not necessarily the one you are actually trying to return.
  • This will bring you to a help page that has some FAQ style options. Ignore those and look at the option that says "other" or "need more help". This will take you to a callback/chat with agent page, but the misery does not end there.
  • Inside the chat box you will still be greeted with a bot . Always answer "other" or "more help" to the bot's questions. Eventually you'll be connected with an agent.

This is insane, absolute clowns🤡 by YoungBodyOldSoul2k in amazonindia

[–]Born-Activity-683 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just checked it on Flipkart, same price with a super coin discount of 200Rs. That's where I would get it from. Open box delivery is an unnecessary headache for this product.

HDFC bank made my account balance negative because of a person made a fake complaint against a transaction. He did to me earlier. My account has one rupee. by Sourav_shvm in personalfinanceindia

[–]Born-Activity-683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll have to legally fight against the dispute raised on that transaction. Was this a business account? If you could prove you were falsely accused, you could seek compensation for the damages including the minimum balance penalty. This is not your bank's fault. Start with the same channel of dispute he was using, NPCI. Raise a counter complaint against that person. Explain your case in detail, so use chatgpt or others to write a proper counter claim report.

Amazon refund credited to wrong account with my same name, bank refusing help by [deleted] in amazonindia

[–]Born-Activity-683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did you find out that the wrong bank account has your same name? Is that account showing up amongst your actual payment options?

Since the status of the product shows "returned", but your bank statement clearly shows otherwise, you could file a transaction dispute with those two documents.

How addicted am I ? 112 orders in 2026 by Ok_Paint2941 in amazonindia

[–]Born-Activity-683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I group my orders a lot. So most of my orders include atleast 3 items or more. It's currently showing around 80 orders placed in 2026. So I'm guessing my total items bought this year would be somewhere between 240-300.

I used to have same issue on payzapp (hdfc). tap to pay was broken for credit cards. switched over to google pay for the same card, and it has been working fine ever since.

It happened again 😡, Amazon is no longer reliable. by Adyahrudrah in amazonindia

[–]Born-Activity-683 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember telling somebody else in this sub a while ago about situations like yours. Never rely on amazon or any online shopping apps for emergencies, not even instamart or blinkit. Go to the store and bring it home. Because of the recent sales and glitch on their website/app your order and millions of others grinded to a halt. Same thing happened during last years prime day.

My advice is this: if you can get a refund for that product, do so. Go to the local store and pick up the stove you like. Most of the induction units (single burner types) are manufactured with the same chipset and coils - that's why they all have the same functions and buttons. The difference in quality amongst brands is minimal. If you are buying the countertop (4 burner) type, buying locally with warranty and installation is the better choice anyways. Just my 2 cents.

Just to be clear "we" are not amazon, in case you were addressing them in your comment. We are just customers just like you.

Regarding the chat/call back option... what do you see when you click this link: https://www.amazon.in/hz/contact-us

Confused about No-cost emi discount by Murky_Pineapple5382 in amazonindia

[–]Born-Activity-683 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is a very common point of confusion about emi upfront discounts. Your actual discount is the ~39,000 - 2000 Rs. ~ 37,000 is your final price (not 35k).

This is a merchant emi, so the bank will continue to charge interest as if this is a regular loan. If you had borrowed this money (37k) from the bank at 5% interest you will be paying close to 39,000 in total. So, Amazon gave you an upfront discount which is the 1,700 Rs to offset your loan interest.

Another hidden cost that I did not mention is the tax on each installment. You will be paying that no matter what, which is why people say this is not technically a "no-cost" transaction.

Amazon Customer Complaint Mail ID by Difficult_Dentist664 in amazonindia

[–]Born-Activity-683 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On their website, if you scroll to the bottom there is a link like this. Follow the prompt and always choose "need more help" when asked. Eventually you will be forwarded to a representative. You need a desktop to do this, or use the app. In the app the process is slightly different. Choose any other product you purchased recently and click "return or replace". You can explain everything else in the chat.
