Bloody Indians are better than dumb Sri Lankans
I have heard that many people use the term ‘Bloody Indians’. But sometimes bloody Indians are far better than bloody Sri Lankans.
MSDN center has shipped my welcome pack on 10th March. It landed on Delhi by an address error. When I inquired with DHL Sri Lanka, they said they cant involve and asked me to contact DHL India.
Just after sending one single email to DHL India, they directed the shipment to Colombo and personally called me to inform the status.
Then DHL Sri Lanka was keep asking me to pay taxes to get the things cleared from customs. The value of the package is USD 7000 +, I cant think of the amount of tax they asked me to pay. Wela and I explained them more than 10 times that it was originally shipped under a condition called DDP which means all the taxes are paid by the shipper. But those dumb people failed to trace things back, only thing they wanted was me to pay.
Wela tried to solve this with MSDN center, but it takes some time to get a feedback from them. Last Friday I contacted DHL India once again and described my issue. Within one hour of my mail, they contacted me and sorted everything. Same people who told me that they cant release the package without payments said that “you will get the package on Monday sir”.
Bloody Indians are far better than dumb Sri Lankans. But the guy @ DHL India wanted me to send him the contact number of DHL Sri Lanka. (He might not wanted to waste further time)

To be honest it's because deep down all sri lankans know how technically and culturally advanced Indians are compared with themselves. They are also somewhat jealous since the Indians have a strong identity of who they are and are westernised unlike the confused Sri Lankans that we are.....
I faced the same thing when i recived my second update pack.. Buggers for asking me to pay Rs. 8,000 tax to get it. And I said why should I pay tax because I didnt pay any thing when i recieved my first pack.
And I called them and blasted them... Next day the delivery guy from DHL SL saying .. sorry we didn't see the DDP label in your pack ..you dont have to pay taxes for that..
Funny this is that DDP label is on BOLD TEXT arround 20px font size..
These bloody people at DHL Sri Lanka are still dragging things with my package. Though they promised to deliver me last Monday, still I haven’t got it. Now its holidays. Shit! I got to wait till next Monday.
