Quite an interesting turn of events when you mentioned the PakLap rider being at that guys shop.
I recently ordered from PakLap after hearing some good things about them, and I can say the experience was pretty good and hassle free. I hate the fact that they use Leopards Courier, but other than that, no issues.
They had the Inspiron 7567 available cheaper than most other places, so I ordered it with paying 10% advance and the rest on COD, and I then butchered the ears of the Leopards Call Center guys to have it delivered ASAP and they surprisingly did, at 9:30 at night, which I didn't mind, I told them I'd sign for it even if it was delivered at 4 in the morning.
Anyway, the guy who delivered it seemed so care free, he let me open the box without taking prior payment, he was just on the phone with someone the entire time, yelling away in punjabi, while I sat on the cold driveway ripping the box apart, to find a pristine, absolutely brand spanking new shiny ass Inspiron lying there wrapped in it's protective packaging and shit, opened it, turned it on, legit Windows, everything seemed to be in working order, I paid the guy and he went on his way.
Later, while doing a BIOS update, I booted into BIOS to see the status and it seemed perfectly fine, nothing abnormal, no signs of prior usage, battery health is excellent, and battery life isn't too bad either. Moreover, there are no signs of it being used or scratched or anything like that, it was actually new.
I'm happy with the experience that I had, no complaints.
HomeShopping on the other hand, after that one incident, has stopped being my go-to online store for most stuff after they pulled some really ugly shit back in 2015.
