i knew they do worldwide free shipping, do they now have free dvd options too. will check that out.

no customs, that definitely sounds cool too.

by the way, the asoka dvd that you bought, which make is that. according cdstore themself, they have video sound version. did you get that? or first look? or which version you got?

I think the ASOKA DVD I got was from First Look. I'll confirm it when I am back at home.

Cheers

Asad

Just why I wouldnt buy anything from a .pk site

Just replace Computers with DVDs

SKNath,

You can't take that example to blame the whole nation. Just note the name of the newspaper. Same examples exist in Pakistan Newspapers for indians. These kind of people exist throughout the world but sensible people don't use their behaviour to blame their home country.

Asad

AQ... Good that you have a patriotic zeal. Unfortunately I dilligently avoid anything with the Made in Pakistan label (be that grocery or grocery stores or clothing )... Its nothing to do with patriotic zeal but just cos I have been told by shopowners themselves to avoid those brands... As for the name of the newspaper yeah its Hindustantimes (so what ! The report has been dispatched by a foreign agency.. so please dont call that an Enemy propoganda ).. Some examples.. every product bearing the name of NATIONAL or MINAR or SHAAN (which are sold here in Canada) i avoid them... Will eat anything else but those brands. Even for shopping, we have a Bangladeshi store and 2 Pakistani stores in the close vicinity. I make it a point to avoid the Pakistani stores and visit the Bangladeshi store (for obvious reasons) and also for the fact that I can get good deals from them along with decent prices with good quality. If I can do that with grocery stores I can do that with all kinda stores (Online being one example).



Now coming to your question...m/f Faddy ( who hates me ) has himself stated that your "fav site" are a bunch of rippers, as in selling pirated DVDs... (english being one of them). Now I know (reasonably well) that if a site sells such kinda DVDs I know for sure that site is not to be trusted or their products.

You have often gone on record saying that you dont have to pay customs..what do u mean by that ?..So is there some kinda special deal if I buy the same stuff from the USA or from PAKISTAN that i will be treated differently vis-a-vis customs ? Check ur facts... I get charged for customs even if a product comes from India or from Australia or from the USA... no exceptions ( by customs i mean the GST & PST.. the taxes here in Canada)

I think sans you, anyone else ( poor fellows like me) would even care to order from your site anyways .. So if you wanna patronize that site.. sure go ahead its afterall ur money

Sk... regardless of wat ive said... ure a total wanker and I cant believe they even let arseholes like u even do Phds.. u fucking arsewipe..!!

SK,
I am proud to be Pakistani and glad that you have realised that. Your comments are well out of order. Well I have never met a person like you who is that against Pakistan. Here in UK all the different communities live in harmony and I am glad that you don't reside here as there will be no space for you in any community. Those shopkeepers who told you must have the same problem as you.
Pakistan's economy does not depend on you buying Pakistani products. I have got loads od friends who are from India and get on very well with them. It is shame that there are people like you who still exist in this World.

I would recommend this DVD store to any body because they offer good service, quality and good value for money.

AQ

AQureshi yeah I never said anything abt you being what you are... all I said was the site you have suggested ... must be avoided .. We have two different opinions and I respect your opinion abt that

Cheerz mate

Yeah it sure doesnt depend, but u see my friend the word of mouth is a great thing indeed. Now I am an oldie in my city and many folks like me came from India and well naturally I guided them to the shops of my choice.

Now for the main thing here..you accuse me of ...(you-know-what)....you forget something... AFZAL @ Indiaweekly is from KHI ( as he has himself said) and let me tell you m/f he is a good friend of mine and yeah I like his service the best and so also from his store... Why ?

I am assured of good quality and no hassle return and of cos I get to choose what i want ( aka DEI vs EROS etc etc)... but the best thing is :-
1.) Good prices
2.) How to minimize and avoid customs
3.) Excellent cust service ! ( so much so that even if there are other cust service reps on the fone i ask Afzal to call me back or call up his cell fone)...

Therein goes your theory (you-again-know-what)

If you want to argue with me over pricing and site management (ur site vs my site) sure do it here.. else if you have something else then pls lets go to the off topic forum....

SKNATH,

First of all you should not be allowed to use the kind of language you are using in this forum. How dare you can call me M/F. I would have sorted you out if u were living in UK.
It is you who started all this. I was only trying to tell people about the service I received from this store. You haven't even tried to buy so how can you say what you said about all .pk stores.
I don't want to come in between you and faddy and have no intention talking to a narrow minded person.

AQ

Wouldnt mind telling you this.. m/f is not what you think, but it is my/friend ....and as for sorting me out if I was in the UK..I sure do know what you could have done afterall you know what you are

I think you are missing the point here... You are saying that you endorse it (the site) and I am saying it avoid it... NOW IS IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE HAVE DIVERGENT OPINIONS ? or should I use something simpler here ...


If you check the old forum threads you would have seen how I, along with others here in forum virtually made it clear not to buy anything from Indiaplaza and Valueindia cos of their Bad service and their brazeness to sell Pirated goods as well as short sifting consumers. Now..as for your site..I still stand by my view point ( you may like it or you may hate it). I am doubtful anyone from the USA / Canada or anywhere in the world ( except maybe a few selected quarters ) would bother even veturing to that site...

There are many pretenders to the throne (your site etc.) but only one contender (i.e Indiaweekly !)

sknath my lovely m/f friend :p as my other good m/f friend jolly would say your living in a cuckoo land if you think indianweekly dont sell pirates!! open your eyes and browse their store its full of pirates dvds!! :doze: but blinded by cheapness and good service (not a bad thing IMO!! ) i would expect that from a hypocrite like you :rolleyes: h:

SK Nath,

Your comments are really out of line for anyone from a civilized population. Seems like you have never tried something but you have a very strong opinion that it is very very bad. Is it just paranoia ? You never try new things ?

One should be very open minded and not make judgements on other people, their race, origin, how they look, or another business. Your opinions seem to be based on just what you have heard. Why not try something and then tell us ?

This truly brings the topic of discrimination and how you are just another person who cannot rise above it and treat all fellow human beings the same. The day you will learn is when someone discriminates you, your son/daughter, spouse, parents, family or at work, just because you are indian or the way you look. You may have been fortunate enough to not face any of it so far, but one day you will realize it and change your tone.

I am not from Pakistan or have any affiliation with the web site guys (or ordered anything from them), but your comments are really very offensive to anyone. With your tone and highly negative view it no value to what you say, because no one will believe you. All it does is irate a few people and they will respond like me, cause we do not sit back and just watch. If that is all you want a confrontation to get a high on, I feel sorry for your life.

Peace.

Kareena.

P.S. If there is a forum moderator, I hereby request to stop this user to continue posting racially offensive posts.

Predator's MUM..now i wonder why i should care abt your post but then as you have raised the issue of IW selling pirates . I dont dispute that, they used to do that (extensively in fact)..But i guess now that trend has changed, whereas IP still does that...

I remember they removed the MAHAAN DVD from their site ... as an example and as for others I surely am assured of genuine English DVDs (which is not so the case for the OTHER site in question here)

Kareena thank for your for your post. If you would have read my post, my comments were attributed towards something whih AQ had stated... vis-a-vis a store in Pakistan. As for my selecting or not selecting it I am sure its my choice ( like everyone else).

What u call racism and discrimination it is something ppl learn from mistakes...which I did. I had purchased a couple of DVDs from a Pakistani store in Toronto and once I come back home I found that they were pirated DVDs... !! Well from that day onwards I decided to avoid their stores and directed my friends also to avoid them. If you think avoiding stores that sell pirated stuff is "DISCRIMINATION" well then be my guest ... as for the other stuff I think I can answer those in the off topic chit chat.. Lets limit this discussion to the store which is being discussed here (whether I am civilized/uncivilzed you can argue all that in the off-topic chit chat..I can happily answer back all ur comments but choose not to do so )!
