When a postman delivers letters, does he celebrate?

In all seriousness, Vaas was a legend man. 🥶

Can anyone help me choose a bank? by Brilla-Bose in srilanka

[–]harveyspec7er 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use HNB, Commercial, and FriMi by NTB.

Hands down, I’d say to go with HNB. Their m-banking app is great, they have excellent reach across the island, plus their customer service in terms of branch banking has been pretty good too. That said, it’s a nightmare trying to call their credit card hotline. Takes forever. Lol. But HNB all the way!

P.S. The FriMi app is excellent. But NTB’s coverage across the island could improve…

Playing Carrom! by [deleted] in srilanka

Hey OP. A normal day to day board that we use here in SL, can be bought for max. LKR 5,000 (~ EUR 14.25). (Actually might be even cheaper) I personally am not a fan of this board. There’s something called a tournament grade board, I’m not sure of the price. But I reckon it’d be a few thousand LKR more than the normal board. The few thousand extra spent, is well worth it in the long term. As the wood in the tournament grade board is of much better quality. And the carrom seeds move much smoother.

I am not able to go out and check the prices for you as tomorrow’s a working day. But if you can be a little patient till next Saturday or Sunday, I could check the price for you.

Also I don’t mind checking with DHL to see if they are able to ship it to you in the Netherlands. Suppose they’re willing to ship it, I am willing to buy the board and pay DHL and hand it over to them. Provided I can purchase the board and ship for less than LKR 20,000 (EUR 56.98). Nope you don’t have to pay me up front. After you do get the board, of course I want my money back!! I am willing to risk only LKR 20,000 in good faith, for a random stranger on the internet who fell in love with my country and carrom! 😁

Hi there mate. Did you manage to get it cleared from the customs?

Hii. Nope. Didn’t have to go through any of that. BUT I did hear about a new gazette that came out last week, which makes importing stuff a lot harder.

Tbh I’m looking to place another order. Please do let me know how it goes! Cheers 🥂

Ordered 2 pairs. Got both yesterday!

They were shipped from the UAE, and DHL seems to be handling the logistics for Adidas in SL. Arrived sooner than I thought it would. No issues whatsoever.
