    So I am thinking that I can swing 4 or 5 days here before this thing ends. Maybe, just maybe me and @TrK can do a dueling banjos and take @noob404 out.

    Sheesh, why am I visualizing my dreams vaporizing into thin air :lol:

    Crushing hopes and dreams is my thing. I am sure you have heard the rumors. ;)

    I doubt anyone sees you like that, you were just fair at wanting something you wanted just like me...

    Yeah, it's all fun after all, just don't take my microphone :lol:

    No problem. Your mic is safe from me. @TrK on the other hand, I can't say.

    What do you mean, i already said i am getting my hands on iPad.

    How do you get it shipped?

    There are ways, I will pay like $30, and customs it will be delivered to my door in 10-12 days.

    Nice. Didn't know, I once won something , but converted it to credits.

    Isn't customs costly for things like ipads?

    it depends, i wrote like an entire essay explaining things about Indian customs in a thread here. The customs will be around 38% of the CIF, CIF is declared product value + shipping charge.

    Oh. Didn't see that thread. 38% of those charges is still high right? how much it could be in your estimation?

    i usually have the invoice removed and show them undervalued(like $50-$100 less than the actual price), for i pad mini i am imagining i would end up paying like $150 including shipping and customs + taxes.

    Around 12K inr. Still worth though. You ship it through third party ? Like forwarders something, don't know the name exactly.

    Yeh parcel forwarding services using them for quite some time, and referral i get $10 off for the next parcel, so does the referred one.

    What items you have shipped from there? Are those safe? like deliverability etc.

    Yeah pretty much safe, my 10th gen ipad from RN balckfriday last year was delivered to me perfectly safe and sound. I get like 2 parcels in year from US all wth same forwarding company and logistics just because i had good experience with them on the first time.

    You already won one ipad. Cool. Are you into apple eco system? Never tried ipad.

    Next time if I have to get anything in US, I will contact you. :D

    Yeah, not into apple ecosystem, and apple fanboy their product(especially tabs and mac mini) are just that good. I like how my iPad can work with apps my android Tab can't and i like the fact how my android tab can do whatever i want apart from performance while my iPad only get performance marks nothing more nothing less. I can't do my work on android tab but i can't read my books on iPad it's a dilemma.

    @Frobsy said: It's quite common here too, but it's the other way around. When we want coffee, we drink it black. when we want milk, we mix it with coffee

    I love how it's going forward... if you want milk mix it coffee, what if someone wants to drink some ale? mix it with coffee as well? or will it be served as is :lol:

    Haha I’m just saying some of us prefer milk mixed with coffee rather than just milk.

    That sounds fair enough, not everyone likes the taste and smell of milk......

    I was seriously not thinking of participating, but, that gaming PC is too sweet to be missed. Moreover, you know how I get once someone pokes the animal competitive instincts hidden deep inside. :lol:

    Nothing better than an espresso latte to swing you back into the game of life!

    I thought you were a black coffee guy, I'm disappointed :lol:

    Black coffee works but nothing beats the espresso...

    Espresso is great but milk is a big no for me. I passionately hate mixing milk with coffee.

    Mixing milk is pretty common here, whether its tea or coffee. Rarely some people have it black.

    It's quite common here too, but it's the other way around. When we want coffee, we drink it black. when we want milk, we mix it with coffee

    I think green tea is the only tea nobody mix milk. :p

    It would be around $700 in India right now, electronic prices in India are usually higher than in wester markets but it all depends. Few parts are cheap as well.

    I tried to tell him last year that you need to let people stay close enough in the beginning to believe that they have a chance to win. Then after a few weeks crush their hopes and run away with it. Did he listed, no. What can I say. [shrug]

    That's exactly what he did, but he didn't wait that much, like just a week and boom, dusted all of us :lol:

    Way to kill the vibe. Am I right or am I right.

    [ Just playing with you @noob404 ]

    :lol: I just went overboard like last time. But, this time, just using convo. Learned a bunch of new stuff. No regrets.

    Trk is fine with the iPad, he's not into the top prize hehe. right @trk ?

    There you go! iPad is the best for you! Get the PC for me and you got yourself a deal haha

    Pc isn't worth all the drama for me, i mean it seriously doesn't, if i want credits i can always do that with the arcade... but i want the mini ipad.

    So what you are saying is @noob404 is safe. Maybe.

    Yes, "maybe" being the keyword.

    @xpress7 said: The legend is here. :)

    Just stopped by for coffee.

    Coffee is good, Coffee is life, ask @TrK hehe

    Nothing better than an espresso latte to swing you back into the game of life!

    I thought you were a black coffee guy, I'm disappointed :lol:

    Black coffee works but nothing beats the espresso...

    Espresso is great but milk is a big no for me. I passionately hate mixing milk with coffee.

    Mixing milk is pretty common here, whether its tea or coffee. Rarely some people have it black.

    It's quite common here too, but it's the other way around. When we want coffee, we drink it black. when we want milk, we mix it with coffee

    I think green tea is the only tea nobody mix milk. :p

    Cough, i did it one time cough.......

    You did what? why did you do that?

    I was a kid back then, come on.....

    It's okay bro, try it again, you might enjoy it this time :lol:

    So I am thinking that I can swing 4 or 5 days here before this thing ends. Maybe, just maybe me and @TrK can do a dueling banjos and take @noob404 out.

    Sheesh, why am I visualizing my dreams vaporizing into thin air :lol:

    Crushing hopes and dreams is my thing. I am sure you have heard the rumors. ;)

    I doubt anyone sees you like that, you were just fair at wanting something you wanted just like me...

    Yeah, it's all fun after all, just don't take my microphone :lol:

    No problem. Your mic is safe from me. @TrK on the other hand, I can't say.

    What do you mean, i already said i am getting my hands on iPad.

    How do you get it shipped?

    There are ways, I will pay like $30, and customs it will be delivered to my door in 10-12 days.

    Nice. Didn't know, I once won something , but converted it to credits.

    Isn't customs costly for things like ipads?

    it depends, i wrote like an entire essay explaining things about Indian customs in a thread here. The customs will be around 38% of the CIF, CIF is declared product value + shipping charge.

    Oh. Didn't see that thread. 38% of those charges is still high right? how much it could be in your estimation?

    38% sounds crazy high... How are the prices of electronics in India, How much would that top prize pc cost there?

    Usually prices are lot higher here, because of custom duty.

    Ah, that has been a constant topic of discussion here - high customs duty in India!

  • Just try searching on Reddit. Tons of Indian customs nightmare accounts there

    and the slab-based taxation, man I hate it, why can't it be flat like in AE.

    Slab-based taxation, if properly done, is a necessity here. Countries like UAE have a more or less monotonous population, with almost everyone having a respectable income, unlike India, where the gap between the rich and the poor is often very wide.

    Ofcourse he has his own and we had a long convo regarding that on one of RN threads in the past.

    Lets have one this time. May be that weedo something thing?

    I am still in the discussion with them it looks promising but then again, it might not be.

    Keep me posted. And help me build one geo dns with some idle vpses. Recently after seeing you people I'm excited to go back to experiment mode once again.

    Start fiddling with a powerDNS instance it's easy and you get rock-solid performance.

    PowerDNS. Ok, I'll add it to my list. Have to find some time to fiddle with these things.

    What's the benefits of having this vs using a public cdn like cloudflares?

    Kinda same, just you own everything and CF can't force you to pay or suspend your website if you endup hogging couple of TBs.

    I never attracted CF to force me to the paid tier, so I think I'm safe hehe.
    2TBs is the limit of the free tier?

    You are enticing me now Frankie, there will be chaos...

    chaos is a good thing, right ?

    It depends if we are competing or not...

    Just with everyone else. It's time for you to win one of these.

    Trk is fine with the iPad, he's not into the top prize hehe. right @trk ?

    You people are already distributing gifts? :p :D

    Yah, like last year, we guys are deciding gifts beforehand, so that, it doesn't turn dirty.

    So what you people decided to give me? :D

    It's not the custom duty levied but the GST on the CIF, it ranges from 18 to 50 percent the customs duty hardly goes over 20% while 10% being the standard and 0 for the cheaper ones.
