I placed an order for Micromax Canvas 2 Plus via Snapdeal this Sunday. Since this was my first order from them so I thought of going with COD option. The order was dispatched on Monday via Delhivery. Item reached Delhi on the Tuesday night(6th). Since then its roaming across several of Delhivery's offices. Yesterday I contacted them to enquire about my delivery. The lady at the phone specifically mentioned that the delay was caused because the package got misplaced. Its natural for me to get suspicious. I wanted to open the package before handing them over the money.

Anyways, today afternoon the package landed finally at the center nearest(Janakpuri Hub) to my home. Phew. I had already called them before to enquire upon which I was reassured that it will be disapatched as soon as it arrives at their Janakpuri hub. It landed there at 3:15 pm. By 5:10 pm it had not arrived. I called them again and learnt from the talks behind the handset that there was no one to deliver it. WOW. I heard the following conversation:   "Yaar us phone waale package ka kya hua? Badi transaction hai. Yaar koi hai ni deliver karne ke liye. Yaar jaldi karwa. Okay."  Awesome attitude from a company which is specialised in handling logistics for e-commerce companies.   Now I got a bit angry. I called them again at 6 to tell ki bhaiyaa agar aaj de rahe ho toh theek hai warna apne paas rakhna. Because I won't be able to collect it tomorrow. He said, sir we will deliver it. Now uptil now the status page kept saying that its at Janakpuri center. Just 1 minute after the call, the following status appeared:  

Dispatched | Aug. 8, 2013, 6:10 p.m. | Dispatched for Delivery | Janakpuri (Delhi) | Delhivery

Wow. It worked. Around 6:20 I got a call from the delivery boy who was asking, sir package leke aa jaaoon? I literally facepalmed and said yaar ab bhi puchega. He said, sir I had to confirm since its a COD Item. He also mentioned that he will be able to hand over the package only when I will hand him the money. I said I will check the package first since you had yesterday mentioned about it getting misplaced. I mean how can I? I had the cash with change ready but I wanted to be sure. I said, anyways come and we will see.   Around 15 minutes later these messages were posted.  

Returned | Aug. 8, 2013, 6:29 p.m. | Wanted to open the package before payment | Janakpuri (Delhi) | Delhivery Dispatched | Aug. 8, 2013, 6:30 p.m. | Consignee did not have cash | Janakpuri (Delhi) | Delhivery Pending | Aug. 8, 2013, 6:26 p.m. | Consignee did not have cash | Janakpuri (Delhi) | Delhivery

Blatant Lies. How do they know sitting at their office that I don't have the money? Also the item never got dispatched. Liars. That's how they washed off their responsbility and put the whole blame on the customer. I just wanted to confirm. Its okay if they can't do that. I understand but atleast stop lying. I called them in anger and asked how can they lie. They had hardly any justification. More so because I was angry I was not even in a mood to listen. I said I am complaining to Snapdeal and their superiors. He said, Kardo and disconnected.

I called Snapdeal and explained them the situation. He said me to wait for 1 more day. And just now Snapdeal has closed the order saying "Item returned by customer."

Facepalm.

Lessons Learnt: COD is a mess. Avoid Delhivery and Snapdeal.

A friend wants to buy a 9" tab for his wife, with 3G and voice calling.

Main usage would be browsing, facebook and youtube.

Budget around 10-12K.

Cousin wants to buy a 7"/10" tablet for not more than 10k. Usage will be for Facebook,browsing, playing small games by her kids. Just casual usage. Nothing heavy. GPS is needed. 2G/3G support would be nice (Sim/Dongle).

I have MTNL ADSL broadband in Delhi. Today I saw this popup on the side when I connected online (I removed my telephone number from the image):

After looking for the inserted code, I discovered that MTNL is inserting iframes inside the webpages!

The popup is being loaded from http://www.adphonso.com/testmtnl.php?CSID=22221504@mtnl

(I changed the telephone number in the URL above) More scrips are inserted from MTNL address 203.94.243.40

The adphonso website belongs to an adversiting company and that is a big problem

Are you guys seeing this sort of popups too? If yes, do you think is it safe?

I think this way inserting codes inside webpages is not good for the privacy of users.

Help me. I'm getting extremely low downstream rates. I'm using 256 kbps plan. I used to get 3000-4000 kbps downstream rate. At that time I could use full 256 kbps speed. It used to swing around 25-32 KBps. Now my downstream rate stays around 350 kbps and sometimes even goes to 60-90 kbps. And I get download speed of just 4-8 KBps. I can hardly connect to internet.

I also have frequent disconnection problems. So I've disabled every modulation except G.Dmt. Hence, downstream rate stays around 350-1300 kbps. Still not enough to utilise full 256 kbps connection, I'm getting just 20 KBps out of possible 32 KBps.

However, upstream rate never really changed. It stays constant around 500-600 kbps.

Modem is ZTE ZXDSL 531B wireless modem.

Hi,
        I am from Solapur (MH). From May 2008 I stared using BSNL broadband with 250 plan. From May till December I paid 324rs every month (broadband fee 250 + telephone bill 49 + service tax). We use telephone just for incoming we won't do single outgoing call. The things were going normally, but suddenly I got 6237rs bill which I dent paid. BSNL sent me a notice to pay the bill which I ignored. Now again they sent me the notice of 12744rs as due within 10days If not they will put a court case on me. Is it true? Do they really do that? Is it a serious problem? But I don't know how I got a bill of 6237rs where the data usage was almost frequently same for all those months but at 6th month they gave me heavy shock.
Should I worry about this or should I be calm for further?
What should I do now? I can't pay show much huge amount.
Do they really proceed towards court???
Please guide me...
Thanks in Advance...

The new film by Brian Knappenberger, director of We Are Legion: The Story of the Hacktivists follows internet activist and programming pioneer Aaron Swartz from his teenage emergence on the internet scene and involvement in RSS and Reddit, to his growing interest in political advocacy and the controversial actions he allegedly took in downloading nearly four million academic articles from the online service JSTOR.  The film explores Aaron's arrest, the prosecution's tactics in bringing the case to trial through the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, the CFAA, and the impact a seemingly small hacking gesture had on Aaron's life and the possible future of information access on the internet.
