Hbl debit card has atm fee of 580 annually, are these 696 apart from those 580 annually?
Ubl wiz has advanced value added atm insurance of 1000 annually what is that?

Bi-annual China holiday season has begun from yesterday. All shipments might be delayed by almost 20 days. Even their post office wont work. Recommend not to order anything in next 20 days.

If you have ordered recently, request sellers for purchase protection extension by 20-30 days.

How to get your parcel delivered a little faster:

1) track your parcel on pakistan post website
2) When the status shows that the parcel is sent to customs in your own city (LHR, KHI or ISL or any other city), call the local postman (Have their numbers with you, develop repo with them) and he will deliver your parcel faster. Usually it can take 10-15 days for parcel to be delivered after the status appears to be "sent to customs for examination", however if you call him and have a good repo, he will deliver it in 2 days max. (tried and tested)

3) When the parcel delivers, he would usually ask Rs. 20-40 as custom repacking charges, just give me 50 Rs. and he will be obliged and will deliver your parcels quicker. Can also offer him water or juice once in a while and he will be more than obliged.

Can you share the exact link from where they can be tracked when in PK ?

Can you share the exact link from where they can be tracked when in PK ?

here:

EMTTS - Express Mail Track & Trace System

But status would start to appear when they are shipped out from china

I think this is the same fee. They might have increased it from 580 to 696

Ubl wiz has advanced value added atm insurance of 1000 annually what is that?

Can you explain about this advanced valued added atm insurance? I inquired about Wiz internet card which is pre-activated and has no annual charge as per their helpline.

I myself don't know. I saw it on ubl's website.
Download the pdf from ubl website by clicking on 'schedule of charges'. Then scroll to wiz card section, you'll find it there. Do tell if you understand about this fee.

At the weekend, I ordered three small items for car from AliExpress. An OBD II Blue Tooth device, rear view mirror visors and keychain type tire pressure digital gauge. All items cost around 1100 pkr. Did it just as a test. I used SCB credit card.

You are referring to this i think. As I understand its for Value added not with basic atm. Further can be verified by their helpline.

Yes, but it certainly has some doubt. It should be clarified by ubl.

[nasirjavaid]

No doubt man... if you need Value added services (more withdrawal limit, more top limit etc) with ATM card then this applies... choose basic and it should be fine.

If this is true then its good. I'll confirm it by visiting nearby ubl branch.

Good. Do share here what they say. Looking good to me too. I might go for it
