Blood donations in Israel - How the blood insurance system works

Image
  This could help you save some money too, in addition to doing a huge deed. If you donate blood via מגן דויד אדום,   (Magen David Adom – similar to American red cross in the US), you are eligible to receive ביטוח דם (Blood Insurance) for a year from when the date that insurance starts (usually 2 months after donating). -           This also applies to you and your partner, your children (up to age 18), siblings -             if the donor is single, the insurance goes to that individual’s parents In the case of an emergency, and you or a family member needs a blood transfusion or some operation at any hospital in Israel it will allow reception of any amount of blood without having to find your own donor (from their website) You need to give your donor card, ID card and info on the family member that needs blood and a confirmation from the hospital saying that the patient needs a blood “donation”/transfusion.

12 Shopping tips for IKEA in Israel and the world!

Image
Want to go shopping at IKEA in Israel (or wherever in the world), here are some tips to save money and time.  1. The store is a maze and is designed to influence your spending habits and open your wallet... Plan ahead on your budget and what items you actually need before going in. In addition, give yourself a set amount of time to spend (2 or 3 hours). This will help you stay focused on the items you need without getting sidetracked. If you are offered or see the blue ikea map ... make sure to take a photo of it as it will assist in your journey.  2. Find the shortcuts, ask an employee if you get lost. If you want to skip through the maze, there are designated shortcuts (with signs), so you don't need to walk through nearly as many showrooms. 3. Return policy and warranty: keep your receipt and the box for the item around. If you need to return or exchange the item, having the box and spare parts around will surely help the process... and you will need the receipt to actually get

How does the aliexpress return policy work? You first need to file a dispute (My Orders -> then click on the item that you want to chose -> click Open Dispute). Next, you can chose to request a certain dollar value for the return, you can even request a full return. In addition, you can chose whether to keep the item or return it.  The seller has a few days to either decline, make a counter offer, or accept your proposition.  If the seller declines or makes a counter offer, Aliexpress steps in and based on evidence decides who to side with.  I have had several cases where the seller wouldn't budge on a partial refund but thankfully aliexpress sided with me and granted the request! This is why it's best to gather "evidence" such as product images, screenshots, photos and videos of the item that is faulty... and make sure to upload it when you file the dispute and it also gives you a text box where you can verbally describe the issue.  Next time you place an order
