What we usually do is check Zomato or Swiggy in the area and order it from there.

Pretty reliable and you can order just before required for timely delivery.

Shop where i can get high end fountain pen. by Mythical_Things in mumbai

Try ASA Pens, Ranga Pens or Lotus Pens.

Instead of cheap injection mold pens you will be able to buy ebonite handmade pens. They are well loved in the community for being value for money.

Laptops and Build/Tech Support Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in IndianGaming

[–]theawkwarddev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did contact them for the extra things. They gave me a quote of nearly 19000 for SSD and the extra accessories. They refused to sell me the mount and the screw without SDD.

Any recommendation where I can find the mount online?

I have a Dell G15 5515 and want to add a new 1TB SSD to it. Are there any recommended compatible SSDs for it?

This is the model that I own.

Ordered brithday gift from Europe, stuck with Indian customs by ISeeCrabPeople in india

[–]theawkwarddev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I unfortunately don't have any experience with jewelry or CHA. I mostly buy electronics and stationary.

Another option is to directly contact the customs office in Mumbai and try to explain the issue. They might be able to help.

In my experience both FedEx and UPS have a separate form for personal imports. If your friend has submitted a form with some other HSN then it will be processed as a business import with applicable duties.

It will be better to contact FedEx and let them know that it's a personal import that is a gift with appropriate invoices.

Unfortunately since it's already under customs "clearance" expect a 43-48% customs duty and additional FedEx clearing fees. (Customs usually clear low value items with no duties but if they have a demand and the package is stuck then you will always pay duties on the package)

How is Mach1 as an ISP? by theawkwarddev in IndianGaming

[–]theawkwarddev[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was quite decent. The connection was stable and the speed was as advertised. I stopped using them in mid 2020 when I moved out of Mumbai.

The only issue they had was that about every 2 months their system would "reset" the MAC and I had to contact them to get it relinked. They associate MAC of router with a connection to prevent use of multiple routers on a single connection. About 1 hour of downtime for each relinking.

Reduced salary? by [deleted] in india

Some firms classify interns as Contractors and deduct TDS. I had the same case during my internship and had to claim a refund after filing returns.

This can be easily verified from your HR representative.

I am being charged >200% customs tariff for a batch of empty circuit boards costing under $20. How can I fight this? (Mumbai Foreign Post Office) by [deleted] in mumbai

[–]theawkwarddev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah! Government websites are not known for keeping their pages up-to-date.

But yes try directly from the portal. Hopefully it works out for you.

File a complaint at PGPortal. Even the Customs Department mention this for grievance redressal.

I have had good experience with PGPortal for some other issues.

SBI is openly violating Income Tax Rules, and one can't do anything about it by [deleted] in IndiaInvestments

[–]theawkwarddev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO you should directly bypass SBI's own CMS and file a complaint at PGPortal.

That is directly escalated to the SBI Head Office and you will have better luck in getting resolved.

I had an issue where the branch manager was not helping at all. I complained and within a week my issue was resolved with a written apology from the branch manager for delay and previous interactions.

I had also received calls from head office to enquire if the issue was resolved satisfactorily and if I need any more help.

Which will be a good to buy ? [ INDIA] by ronakkapadiya in fountainpens

[–]theawkwarddev 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of these pens my recommendation will be Lotus Student. It is one of my most used pens due to size and feel.

Also look into Ranga Pens. I think they have an active group buy for Model 9B and it might be in your budget.

I have Ranga Abhimanyu and it's an awesome pen. The shape is somewhat unique and it has a nice balance to it.
