Anyone else have their shipments from AliExpress stuck with Kolkata Customs (Kolkata Foreign LCAO)? Two of my shipments stuck with them, one from the 28th of March and the other from the 2nd of April. Both showing the same status: "Retention Reason : Awaiting presentation to customs commissioner".

 

 No updates after that. Kolkata Customs seriously are horrid. :wallbash:

I also didn't get my button magnets even though it was a registered post package.

Damn, that's sad. When was this and what was the last tracking update?
They sent my package from Kolkata to mumbai and it shows the same location for months now so i applied for refund and got it.

Shucks. I have seen Kolkata Customs babus to particularly soil deals from AliExpress by attaching inane waiting times in clearing shipments. If my package gets sent through Hong Kong Mail then it first lands in Delhi and then gets sent to Kolkata in a day's time but then once Kolkata LCAO have it, the arduous delay starts. I'm at my wits end with this.

 

Both of my current shipments were sent through AliExpress Standard Shipping through Singapore Post. Came directly to Kolkata... but now both facing the same hiccup.

Just wait and play games.

Hey, i would like to buy a chair which i can use for gaming and on days when i work from home. Going for gaming chair would be more comfortable or an office chair? Also i have back and neck issues. Wanted your opinion for the same.  

 

Was browsing through some websites and saw these options. Are these options good enough? also it will be great if you can recommend any other better option  

 

Option 1 : https://www.amazon.in/Green-Soul-Gaming-Office-Black-Orange/dp/B0796WK8JX/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1523012536&sr=8-2-spons&keywords=gaming+chair&psc=1

 

Option 2 : http://www.gamestheshop.com/Circle-Gaming-Chair-CH55-Black-Green/2665

 

Option 3 : https://www.amazon.in/AmazonBasics-High-Executive-Chair-Brown/dp/B01D7PG5EO/ref=sr_1_8?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1523013059&sr=1-8&keywords=office+chair

 

 

 

Not planning to spend more than 9-10k but if needed can increase my budget. 

Also buying from local store would be a better option or these online stores would be equally good option?

Location: Delhi

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

Apologies if i have posted it in the wrong section.

Have you considered those reclining single seater couches for 14-15k?

In the last 50% off sale, this one from evok was available for 15k.

but will still check them out for the other room.

Look for local chair manufacturers or local furniture stotes on justdial they will do a good job at a much better price. Go to them with the design. U dont want to have ordered a chair only to find that it is not supporting your neck properly. It is any day better to buy a chair for back pain offline as u can test it and see.

This. Get custom made from local furniture maker to fit your size and comfort level.

 

Also as a thumb rule, stay away from anything that says "gaming" like gaming chair, gaming headphones etc.

you need proper lumber support, avoid so called gaming chair, I will suggest this one - 

 

https://www.amazon.in/Green-NewYork-Functional-Executive-Office/dp/B06XDJLZ8F/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1523023941&sr=8-4&keywords=featherlite+chairs

 

Green Soul® NewYork High Back Fully Functional Executive Office Chair (Black) I personally prefer mesh over leather or any other material as in mesh its feels more comfortable and breathable - you can seat longer without getting sweat. Considering your have back and neck issues, you must have lumber support for back and adjustable headrest for your neck. The suggested chair has all of these features. 

Alternatively  You can also visit featherlite showroom in your city, they have some awesome chair in range of 8-15k with great features.

Sure..let us know what you purchase at the end..I am using Durian mesh chair with fixed lumber support but without neck support. My next chair upgrade would be something like that I suggested to you
