Bookworms rejoice - zero VAT on Books and Medicine
Good news! We're now able to bring you books and medicine with no VAT! This vastly reduces the price of those items. For example a book that costs $10 will only cost you $16 to receive in Kathmandu (which includes all shipping and taxes). See http://harilo.com/deals/540
Enjoy :)
Harilo now accepting payments in Bitcoins
How do I pay using Bitcoins?
To pay for an order click on "Checkout" and then click on "Bitcoin" under "How to Pay". To send arbitrary payments (for eg if you already have an account balance or want to pay a portion in cash) our receiving address is 1HChN9owfouFtc2fsxWEPvs5Y3zzWhRJCG
How can I get Bitcoins in Nepal?
You could ask to get paid in BTC the next time you freelance, or buy them on online exchanges like https://coinbase.com. You can also look to see if there are people selling Bitcoins near you at https://localbitcoins.com. For example, you can buy and sell Bitcoins from Harilo at https://localbitcoins.com/accounts/profile/harilo. If you want to get started right away and see how it all works simply create a wallet at https://blockchain.info/wallet/new and tweet your public address to get a few free bitcoins which you can start spending right away.
Why should I use Bitcoins instead of using online banking, credit cards, or cash?
Bitcoins are secure, instant, and require no fees. All transactions are public by design on the blockchain so there is always proof that you sent Harilo a payment. Additionally, this means that anyone in Nepal without a credit card or access to compatible online banking with Harilo can now pay easily and securely online without having to bring cash to our office. To find out more about BTC a good place to get stared is http://bitcoin.org/about.html.
This is Nepal. What is your "scheme" for this announcement?
To announce and celebrate Bitcoin, the first 20 people to leave comments below with their receiving addresses will receive 50 mBTC for free.
Rules:
- Leave comment using same email address as your Harilo registration address
- One receiving address per user
Enjoy!

For a LIMITED time only - $2 shipping on Men's & Women's apparel!
Love Macy's, Old Navy or other US store's low prices but put off by the international shipping fees? Well, here's some good news for you: Harilo.com has reduced our shipping and handling fees, with just $2 per pound on MEN'S and WOMEN's APPAREL!
Here's how the new shipping-fee structure works for orders being shipped to Nepal: you will be charged $2 per pound plus customs and VAT on any womens or mens clothing (your order must be above $25 per store).
Harilo always gives you FREE quotes, so what are you waiting for? The holidays are a great time to stock up on that great pair of jeans or a new tie for Dad - there are tons of sales going on at pretty much every US store.
You don't need to worry about any additional taxes or duties upon delivery. Thanks for shopping with Harilo!
Humiliate and feed squirrels at the same time
Hang the hollow vinyl feeder in front of a window or near a porch, fill it with something squirrels find delicious, and try to contain your excitement. When a squirrel sticks his head in for a snack, he'll look like he has a comically-oversized head and a goofy bucktoothed smile. Perfect for birdwatchers, nature lovers, or anyone who thinks squirrels could use a lesson in humility.
Feeder has holes in the ears for hanging with string (not included).
