I finally found one I really liked.  it was a carbon fibre racquet with a nice wide area costing around 2400 INR, so I decided to buy it.  Product link Imagine my surprise when I added it to the cart and I was still charged for delivery,199 INR, which was shocking cuz decathlon offers free delivery for orders greater than 1499 INR.  Anyway, I thought I was mistaken so I decided to check the delivery terms and conditions :P ( Yes, we exist). It stated that objects weighing less than 2 KGs will be free.  now the racquet I was interested in weighted 165 gram as per the description page on the decathlon website, so well that dint cross the 2KG limit.  Now, it could have however crossed the volumetric limit of 2 KGs, but let's calculate that below As per the description , the face of the racquet covers  499cm2 , now if we consider the head to be a circle
