Hate 2Checkout

The other day I was shopping for new domain. From WHT I found a cheap domain registrar. I am using namecheap, but recent price hike make them no longer cheap as their name suggest. But their service is very good!

Which registrar is that? Internet.bs

Now. This internet.bs website really all over the place. But they have cheap price. (Actually one of my client have even cheaper domain price, but then need to register under his name – I don’t want that!)

After pick my domain and now come to payment. One that I recognize is 2Checkout. Back in my mind I think okay, this 2co seems more legit and I’ve read good review of them before.

So I just proceed.

What happen is, 2co deduct the value from my visa debit card, then go on do nothing. After few minutes I go and have online chat with internet.bs support. He told me that 2co hold the payment for manual review. This usually takes 3 ~ 6 hours and maximum of 24 hours.

This is just stupid!

Also there is no email explaining that also. If I did not go and contact internet.bs support I wont know a thing.

So there goes my rant. I hate 2co!

Tulis lain, buat lain

Senang cerita cakap tak serupa bikin. Cerita dia macam ni. Aku nak poskan kamera Dslr ke Melaka. Sadly dah jual Nikon D40x aku. Kerana terdesak perlukan duit, jual la. Bukak harga mahal sikit, lepas nego dan tolak barang yang dia tak nak, so jual lah ia….

Jadi aku pegi ke Skynet. So sekarang ni memang aku tak prepare apa, kamera masuk dalam beg, ikat beg ketat – ketat. Cukupla padding dekat bag tu. Jadi kat Skynet aku kata, aku nak pos kamera, ke Melaka. Problem pertama, takder kotak. Tanyalah aku kepada awek kaunter tersebut (kenapa semua kat kaunter mesti awek?) ade kotak tak. Dia masuk dalam dan cari. Lama la jugak, cam 10 ~ 20 minit camtu.

Bila dah keluar, dia bawak la kotak Skynet. Sekali ada lagi sorang staff ni keluar sekali….

(Pendek cerita, ni perbualan dengan staff tersebut)

Staff: Kami tak accept valueble items.
Aku: (Tunjuk ke dinding, ade notis Skynet) Ini takder tulis pun.
Staff: Oh! Diorang lupa letak la tu.

Oh. WTF moment. Apekebende notis camtu pun boleh diorang pertikaikan.

Staff: Kami boleh terima tapi tak jamin la (Pulak?? Tadi kata tak accept).
Aku: Saya tak kisah, sekarang ni boleh letak padding sikit tak, kertas ke.
Staff: Ni valueble items, kami tak jamin, nanti hilang ka, rosak ka, kami tak boleh bayar.
Aku: Memanglah korang tak boleh bayar pun…… (Duh!)

Time ni dia dah cakap – cakap ngan staff lagi sorang. Pastu cakap bahasa ibunda dia yang aku tak paham.

Staff: Bukan apa, nanti kamera ni diorang baling – baling nanti kamera rosak.
Aku: Ni, kat kotak “Handle with care” ? (refer kepada kotak Skynet)
Staff: Pukul 2 pagi dalam van, mana ada orang nak handle with care.

Ahhhhhh. Tensyen pulak aku dengan minah ni.

Aku: Sebelum ni saya pakai Skynet jugak, pos handphone apa semua ok je.
Staff: Itu diorang tak check la tu.
Aku: Diorang bukak je tengok semua barang.
Staff: Haaa??!! Macam mana boleh lepas?

Wah…. Ingat aku pakai jampi ke hape. Dah terang – terang staff Skynet tu yang bukak kotak aku, check satu – satu, siap isi borang declare barang ape. Pastu aku sign. Itu pun kire magic ke boleh lepas.

Apekah permaslahan dengan Skynet yang aku pergi tu tak tahu ler. Aku pun confuse jadinya, nak accept ke tak aku nak courier tu. Nak kata tak nak accept, siap ambik kotak, siap tolong box, potong kotak kasi fit betul – betul dengan item. Siap tape lagi. Tapi banyak mulut pulakkkk.

Jadinya… Siap selamat la pos dslr tersebut. Dan sudahpun diterima dan diconfirmkan ok semuanya oleh pembeli tersebut.

Moral of the story di sini… Aku sangat tak paham dengan staff Skynet tersebut.

Immobilizer

Pada satu petang yang cuacanya cerah, langit membiru, awan putih berarak perlahan – lahan… Angin pun turut bertiup menyejukkan pipi… Pendek kata what a perfect day to pegi makan di tasik Titiwangsa! (TT) Ya! Dah jadi frequent visitor pulak kat TT pulak. Nawaitu di hati memang nak park kereta dan pergi makan di gerai tu. Perfect plan.

Tapi time nak masuk parking tu perasan ada satu kereta myvi yang bonet depan terbukak dan ada 3 orang yang sedang bercakap – cakap. Aku ingat kereta dia rosak kot, tak pun battery flat. Teringat jugak kenapalah aku tak beli lagi jumper cable, kalau tidak dah boleh tolong brader ni. Takperlah… Park dulu apa – apa hal pun. Aku pun park lah dengan riaknya di situ.

Aku tengok brader kat keta tadi datang kat aku. Awat pulak ni…. Betul la nak tanya ada jumper cable ke tak kot…. Dalam hati aku berkata maaflah bro memang takder jumper cable nye.

“Assalamualaikum bang” Pandai dia bagi salam.

“Waalaikummussalam” Jawab aku penuh tertib, dulu masa tingkatan 1 kena marah dengan ustaz Lah sebab salah jawab salam, sampai sekarang ingat lagi :)

Dia pun tanya lebih kurang pasal keta. Aku pelik pulak mamat ni nak pinjam jumper cable cakap ajerlah. Lepas 2 ~ 3 soalan. Dia kata….

“Abang percaya tak saya boleh disable alarm abang tak sampai seminit”.

Aku jawab “Saya percaya”. Sebabnya dah 2 kali dah keta aku kena demo disable alarm ni.

Tapi dia macam tak dengar aku cakap apa. Dia teruskan dengan demo dia jugak. Dia duduk depan keta aku, keluarkan besi/dawai dia dan jolok masuk dan tarik cable unlatch bonet depan. Terus pop up bonet aku. Lepas tu dia bukak bonet. Alarm dah start bunyik (tapi Proton ni pakai Hon jer untuk alarm alert). Dia pun bukak kotak fius. Sambil dia terangkan, yang kita boleh disablekan bunyik ni dengan cabut saja fius ni…. Cabut je, tak bunyik lah jadinya.

Aku baru nak cakap ni kira lambat la ni, sebab yang brader sebelum ni demo kat keta aku dia cabut je relay horn tu. Tak payah susah – susah nak bukak kotak fius. Dah la time nak pasang balik salah pulak, kena aku pulak tunjuk cara betul nak pasang balik penutup kotak fius tu.

Sampai sini aku act cool lagi la. Sebab dah ada pengalaman keta di demo. Hahaha.

Dia nak teruskan lagi aku cakap tak payah lah. So dia pun promote la kat aku. Cerita punya cerita, tapi tak sebut2 jugak harga berapa. Jadi aku pun malas…. Aku cakap la…

“Camnilah, bagi kad ke kontek number kalau saya minat nak pasang saya call”.

Dia stop sekejap. Dia pandang member dia.

“Kitorang takde kad or kontek number. Ni semua special sale. Tak dapat harga ni kat kedai” Time cakap muka dah cam bengang.

“Takkan takde kot. At least kontek number la” Merepek la kontek number tak nak bagi kalau korang nak buat sales. Ape ingat aku nak call tengah – tengah malam ajak bergayut ke….. LOL!

Dia tetap gak dengan takder kad and kontek number dia. Tapi ada hati nak push aku beli barang dia…. Still tak cakap lagi berapa harga. Dah hilang minat dah pun…

Aku pun cakap la “Saya takda duit sekarang ni”.

“Takkan takde kot bang” Nak jugak korek duit aku… Dah la jantan… Kalau pompuan mungkin la aku cair sikit… Aku bukan spesis sepul tu.

“Betul takder”. Aku pun blah ja lah.

Lepas tu yang aku hampir – hampir hilang kesabaran aku…..

“Pakai keta ada duit. Nak pasang security takda duit”.

Aku dah pusing balik dah… Member dia sorang lagi dah tarik dia. Kurang ajar mamat ni. Nak buat sales macam ni ke…. Boleh bagi remark kat customer balik. LOL.

Aku kesian jugak kat orang jual sistem sekuriti keta ni. Sebab gaji memang based on commision. Ada customer ada lah gaji. Kalau tak silap la. Kalau ada basic pun, ciput je basic nya. Sebab tu lah aku nak mintak bisnes kad dia, at least kalau aku betul – betul nak aku boleh call dia and beli dengan dia, ataupun aku boleh rekomenkan kat kawan – kawan aku.

Kalau last word ko dah buat customer marah, camna ko nak buat sales? Bangang!

Ni jual barang macam one time sale aje. Jual megi goreng bolehla. Order megi goreng, kau makan, sedap kau makan habis, nanti datang lagi, tak sedap pun makan habis jugak sebab lapar, lain kali sumpah tak nak datang dah.

Aku sebenarnya dah pasang sistem immobilizer tu. Sebab tu aku stop dia dari continue. Nanti malu pulak tak leh start keta walaupun dah follow guide kompeni/senior ajar.

Sistem aku pakai yang murah aja. Dari FMN. Syarikat bumiputera. Siap bayar installment lagi RM 100 sebulan. Sekarang dah habis bayar la. Haha.

FMN ni bagus sebab first encounter aku mintak bisnes kad, mula – mula brader tu tak nak bagi. Tapi senior dia terus bagi kad nama kat aku. Ok. This is good marketing lah rasanya. Aku tak belajar sangat bab – bab bisnes, sales and marketing. That is to handout your contact number. Jadi seminggu lepas tu aku terus aku call dia untuk pasang kat keta aku.

Kau nak buat sales, basic thing kau kena ada paling – paling kurang bisnes kad. Apa ayat “this is my card” tak cukup bagus ke ? Bangga sikit bila ada bisnes kad sendiri. Macam dalam filem the social network “I am CEO, bitch!”. Hahaha :) Dan kalau kompeni ko join tu kedekut taik idung masin tak nak supply even benda basic tu…. Nilaikanlah sendiri.

Lagi satu jangan kurang ajar dengan customer. Customer have right to say no as much as you have right to push the customer. Apa yang kau rasa bila customer say no, macam tu lah jugak customer rasa bila kau push – push dia.

Hangin aku kat mamat tu pasal kompeni dia kerja tu kompeni cina. Kau tu kerja dengan cina. Setiap sales ko buat, lagi banyak untung kat bos cina kau tu. Bukan nak anti cina ke apa (aku pun ambik barang dari supplier cina Malaysia dan cina dari China). Bila orang tak nak beli dengan ko, mesti la ada sebabnya. Mungkin sebab dia dah pasang sistem yang sama yang mana ko je tak perasan ada stiker tampal menunjukkan dah pasang sistem to woi! Ataupun diorang tak nak mengkayakan kompeni cina (jarang – jarang la … Sebab mostly semua benda di Malaysia tokay besar is cina … haha).

Apsal sampai tajuk cina pulak ni … Kena cop racist pulak. Tak racist ok, tapi realiti.

Few fact yang aku kumpul.

  • Proton ada immobilizer dia sendiri. Kunci dia, link dengan ECU terus. Takda kunci tak boleh start keta.
  • Nak break-in kereta Proton sangatlah mudah. (Perodua pun sama)
  • Immobilizer FMN yang aku pasang tu, very simple je, module dia pun kecik je. What I paid is for the IDEA (which I truly believe).
  • Sayangilah kereta anda….

I Start A Web Hosting Business

After about one year (I think) I am thinking of more ways to get more income. I finally come to conclusion that selling web hosting is kind of profitable too. Also with low start up capital.

I choose to name it as Simply Hosting. Partly because of the domain name available is simplyhosting.biz. Haha :) I know… Crazy right… Just to pick business name from the available domain name. But that is the trend now. You ought to have business name that is the same as your url. If not, not cool man!

Anyway you all can visit my web hosting site here: http://www.simplyhost.biz

The best shared hosting package is the Business package where you will get 15 gb of web space and 300 gb of bandwidth. It’s all for just USD 65 (RM207) per year. I throw in together Free Domain name with the package. Actually all shared hosting package got this free domain name.

I also have VPS, semi dedicated server and dedicated server. Check it out at my website simplyhost.biz. Take a look also at all the features available. A lot!

Come and give support to me :)

Poslaju Volumetric Charge

I had this surprising experience with Poslaju. I am posting the Double Din player to Sarawak. After done packing in the box with enough padding. With Poslaju you ought to put extra padding, no one knows how they handle the package, why take the risk?

Ok. So I drive happily to Poslaju HQ at Rawang. I purposely going there… Just want to find out where is this Poslaju HQ at Rawang. So next time if I need to pickup the undelivered items, easier for me to go.

Once there I bring the box. The counter guy said, put it direct on the scale. I go and fill in the form. After few moments he got up and start weight the box. It weight 4.1 Kg only. Then he mention, this box cannot charge by weight, but by volumetric scale. I was like puzzle… I ask how much? (The right thing to ask when you don’t know a thing… lol)

He measure the box, do some calculation.. And then he said “RM85.70″. I was like WHATTT?? But I kept it cool. Haha. He explain more that the box is big, but really weight a little bit only. This big box will take up space, thus need to charge by volumetric.

I am shocked! Because I expect it should be around RM50 or so. Just check it online that it said for 5kg weight, only RM43 not inluding taxes. Back then I think… Duh! How much taxes going to cost… Not cost more than RM50. Surely I am. Little did I know…

Well… To sum it up. It’s better to go to the nearest Poslaju office (post office). It’s just the same. Better if office that is closer to any ATM so you can withdraw money should you run short of changes. You don’t know ok. Lucky I did bring RM100 that day.

So to Sarawak buyers, I will try to keep the box smaller to avoid the volumetric charge. I’ll find out later what is the maximum scale of weight before they charge by volumetric.

DLAA BlueVision Halogen Bulb No More

It is now clear as to why no stock for DLAA BlueVision for about a month already. That is because the distributor not importing it anymore. I mean what the F…??? I was told by that amoi that stock is coming this April (this month).

But after asking the Boss himself. Got to email him few times to get the reply. He told me directly that they wont be importing in the DLAA no more.

Oh My God! I mean… I just been known as the DLAA BlueVision bulb seller. Now gone?

Need to re-evaluate everything again and start over again. Ouch!
