ok
so
here
we
go.
I
have
been
using
kapruka
for
few
years.
I
live
abroad
and
I
have
used
the
service
to
send
specially
cakes
for
my
friends
and
family
back
in
Sri
Lanka.
However
I
have
noticed
that
the
kapruka
service
is
degrading
by
the
day.
I
have
seen
fruit
baskets
delivered
at
big
$$$
amounts
yet
failing
to
adhere
to
basic
standards
or
quality
of
service
and
customers
receiving
rotten
fruits
as
a
result.
Yet
what
really
gets
my
goat
is
that
the
exorbitant
prices
charged
from
customers,
especially
from
people
living
outside
Sri
Lanka.
Attached
is
a
prime
example
for
this.
The
same
ribbon
cake
if
ordered
within
Sri
Lanka
is
Rs.
2800,
but
if
ordered
from
overseas
is
USD
24.58.
That
in
today's
exchange
rate
(1
USD
=
Rs
185.88)
is
Rs
4568.93.
Further
even
the
delivery
charge
if
ordered
within
Sri
Lanka
was
Rs
520
to
my
residence
and
USD
4.40
(Rs.
817.87)
when
ordered
overseas.
I
Urge
the
MD
(Dulith
Herath)
of
Kapruka
to
give
me
an
explanation
for
the
above.
Why
would
you
want
to
use
2
separate
payment
gateways
for
lankans
and
overseas
customers
when
you
very
well
know
that
90%
of
customers
using
your
service
is
people
within
lanka
and
lankans
living
overseas.
Just
because
people
living
overseas
earns
in
a
different
currency
it
doesnโt
give
you
the
right
to
rip
them
off.
If
the
item
is
sold
for
Rs
2800
in
lanka
that
is
what
you
have
costed
and
priced
it
against
after
adding
your
profit
margins.
So
whether
someone
pays
within
lanka
using
a
Lankan
credit/debit
card
or
a
overseas
card
shouldnโt
matter.
I
wouldnโt
have
written
this
review
if
you
had
charged
3
or
4
USD
extra
to
what
you
charge
in
lanka
since
I
would
have
considered
that
as
your
overseas
transaction
costs
etc,
but
in
this
example,
the
cake
is
worth
USD
15.06
when
you
charge
USD
24.58.
This
applies
to
all
the
thousands
of
items
on
your
website.
You
may
have
had
a
monopoly
in
lanka
up
to
recent
times
but
luckily
for
all
lankans
who
use
e
commerce
services
such
as
this,
weโve
got
good
news
since
there
are
new
players
out
there
who
offer
better
services
and
reasonable
prices.
I
am
disappointed
in
you
Kapruka.
Try
to
live
by
the
google
slogan.
Donโt
be
Evil
!!!
