2 of the 3 orders that I placed for the mangoes were not shipped and refund was initiated by eBay automatically! :(

is it because of same delivery addresses or registration address? how are they filtering addresses exactly? how do i even buy from this guy from now on so that it gets shipped? info would be appreciated mate

To use ur username for tracking select "ref no" instead of "waybill no." on bluedart tracking site...simple :)

I can't avail warranty as there's no physical damage.

Raw mangoes are like headphones. Both need burning-in ;)
If they are burned in properly i.e. kept in open for a day or two they should ripen and turn out okay :p

Yea i had tried that..wasnt working till yesterday evening. Finally worked today morning though, and the mangoes were delivered in the evening :)

They were rather small though, i weighed them and one was ~200 gms and one was ~160 gms. I know im nitpicking, and its still a steal for 19 bucks but the seller had mentioned they'd be minimum 220 gms :p

How do we get the mangoes to ripen without getting stale.. I've kept them in the same cardboard box they came in but not under refrigeration....

^^Put any ripen fruit like banana in the box and keep it closed so that very little air flows. Do check them daily.

:scared14: :scared14:

I am ethically against the practice of using a ripe banana to ripen raw mangoes :happy26:

And I am especially against keeping them so close that very little air flows between them.

:) If you have a ripen mango that should do it as well. The thing these ripen fruits release ethanol gas which fastens the ripening. I think these bananas release lot of it aslo, its better if you waste one banana than a mango
