Lazy employees
Aug 09, 2016 12:26 AM 4858 Views (via Mobile)

I always had bad relation with Indian post office.


The one near my house is gateway to hell. I wanted to send package to USA so I asked for the custom form and she gave me the wrong form to fill. I have registered complaint with them but no response. Staff attitude is so much that u won't like talking to them.


Worst
May 23, 2016 05:19 PM 6599 Views

They provide worst service among all couriers. All the employees are very rude as they have government job. For speed post they take more than six days, what a SPEED. The worst thing is that nobody look into complaint submitted by customers.


From the minister to postman all are useless. Indian post office even does not deserve to one star. They don't try to change, have to request to post the letters in small town.

Don't Depend on that for fast delivery
May 12, 2016 11:23 AM 7397 Views (via Android App)

India post is an very old post we are using it from earlier my grandfather is using, my fater and whole family is using even I too using when its time to send a patsel to a post or send any important document, we used india post


Memorial days


In 1990s when no telephone is there, so we send the letters to our friends and relative thats the lovely movement of my life, but its slow but interested, I write a letter to my father mention my leg is fectured and that letter delivered at 4 month after and my leg is fine, thats interesting movement


And posted a rakhi by my sister recevied my me its really a great movement of my life.


In technology


We send a document throw mail or sending a greeting card of any thing by fax or mail, but its can't take the place of India Post


Is Old is Really a Gold Post


few weeks ago my uncle send my birth cetificate from my village they do the registory or speed post, but I need it urgently I thought its delivered in a 3-4 days but it delivered in a week, late delivery, so don't depend on that seriously saying friend they do delivery but some thing late


Secondly I say that, I have open a Rd account in indian post office, my openning date of before 15 day of the month, so its a per month depoist of 1000 rupee so its a holiday on day 13, 14 on ocation of festival and 15 is in sunday so I go 16 for perinum of 1000 rupee they charges me 20 rupee extra for late, so why this because my opening date is before 15 so its a fine so I pay it.but at a time of my friend deposite withdrow fund they delay in giving fund, So why at that time give extra to my friend for late fund giving whats that. I pay fine so why they can't pay fine for delay funds


Customer servies


We are standing at line paying a deposit thats irritating no online depoist


Some post office at its old facilty no printing machine write transation by hand its take lots of time and manwork


Claim settlement


If you are do at time so its no delay, but you delay they also delaying alot


Permium


I thought 7% on rd


But old people above 65 age have a high interest around 9-10% must check and ask from your post office member


Range of plans


They can't tell properly, if a elder one go so they tell about all plan


Staff attitude


Ok ok some time but sometive over but its ok as seen the facility given by govt.


Thank you

Improved a Lot!! It's Much Better Now!!
Apr 29, 2016 09:18 AM 8701 Views

There are so many courier services out there, who help us to get our packages transfer quickly throughout the country! But among them only One Courier is from the Govt. itself and that is the Mother of all Couriers(As it's been there Since "Post Office" created)


India Post.


Some years ago they only used to courier Speed Posts and All but nowadays when lot of people are buying products from online websites every time. They started to send those packages too!


I personally never had faith in them, as some earlier bitter past experiences in the post office branches! But recently the faith has been restored!


Wondering how? Continue Reading.


I use to buy from online sites(actually a lot), and recently some online sites(Like Amazon) did stop delivering big products(electronics, mobiles etc.) to our location. I know it's not their fault as other courier services stopped the assistance to them but India Post saved them and us in a way. for them, Amazon is still able to deliver to some products to our location(Majorly small products like Books, Jewelry, Clothes etc.) And to be honest they are delivering it much faster than the others.


Few days ago I ordered some books and clothes and they arrived at my place in just 2.5 days from the time of order(As normally they would have arrived in 4 or 5 days if it was any other courier) And it didn't just happen in one occasion it now happens every time! They become blazing fast!


And they improved their customer services and support too. Like if any one is not in his house at the time of delivery they will try 2 days more consecutively and then it will be in "On Hold" location for 2 days, then it will be post back to the location where it came from! But now at least you have the margin of total 5 days to get your package. So it's better right?


Overall I would say, If you are sending some parcels or precious gifts to your relatives, friends then you can post via them, As they are reliable, fast and has an amazing client support!

India Post "not best"
Apr 11, 2016 07:56 PM 7627 Views (via Mobile)

I think its not best fo my exprience so I say just - its better .Delivery time and cost is bad and not able to find transfer more often than not. Administration is reasonable yet the greater part of the workplaces do work same like all administration workplaces.


Conveyance individual interest cash each time at whatever point they bring some vital record like travel permit, driving permit and so forth. No any upgrades and no reactions. In spite of calling a few times, the staff state of mind is so poor and sucks. If you don't mind never utilize this india post for your vital documents.so I dont like it.

I am totally disappointed with India Post.
Apr 07, 2016 12:05 PM 8018 Views

I have bad experience with this Indian Post several times. India Post’s courier service is not so good, India Post’s Delivery is very slow. Even their speed post service is also very slow. Tariff structure of Speed post is costly than other courier services.


Tracking Facility: - India Post is also provides tracking facility to their customers but this facility is not up to mark. Few negative points about Indian post’s tracking facility are given below:


1. The website is very slow and it takes long time for search .




  1. The tracking results are not so useful.




  2. Some time if you try to tack any item they display a message which said that” No results found”




  3. While tracking you always have to enter a verification number.






Not Use Friendly: - Like most of the government institutions and banks the India Post is also not – user friendly. The staff is very frustrated and rude. The behavior of Staff is not good even in my case they were always talk so loudly and show very bad behavior.


Comparison with other Parcel and Courier services:- There are another so many parcel and courier services in India and they all are very user-friendly and their charges are also lower than India Post Parcel service. The delivery done by these Courier company very fast but India Post is as slow as Turtle .


I will never recommend India post because of its late delivery, high charges, bad behavior of staff.

Very careless...

I had horrible experience with India Post. I posted a registered letter through India Post from Hyderabad to Delhi. They have provided a tracking number to track the progress of the letter. The tracking was fine for two days but did not show further tracking after 2 days.


I complained about this online. They not even responded to it. I appealed them more than 5 times but of no use. I did not know whether the post had been delivered or not till date. Very  bad experience. India post is not performing at it's best.

India Post - Tortoise crawling courier service
Feb 19, 2016 11:30 AM 8913 Views

Nowadays there are a wild rush in the market be it any field and since the competition has dramatically increased, the quality of the services have severely decreased. In this review, I would like to analyze one of the oldest and most trusted couriers in our country whose quality has severely degraded in the last few years.


I ordered a product from Amazon which they shipped via India post. The first thing about this courier service is that they don’t have a fixed website or tracking facility available to locate their shipments. It is highly frustrating when it goes more than a few days since you have last heard of your parcel. Coming back to the courier, Amazon shipped the product which was supposed to be delivered from Chennai to Dhanbad.


Due to certain irrecognisable differences(something which the Amazon customer service claimed), the shipment stayed in Chennai itself for a period of three days with no advance whatsoever in any shipment delivery. After which, the shipment was finally dispatched from the location. Now I had ordered products from Amazon earlier and most of the products that had been shipped from Chennai took a maximum of 5 days to be delivered by standard courier services. However India Post broke all records.


After having go the news of dispatch from Chennai, the shipment kind of vanished in thin air. I mean literally. Their website showed no progress, their customer number never got connected. Forcefully I had to visit the post office twice in an attempt to know anything about the parcel but to avail. Even the post office staff told me that India Post delays a lot in times of delivery.


After almost 15 days, I got the product which I was supposed to have received a week ago latest. This courier service seriously tested my patience. I have heard that India post has a good reach in off shore regions where most of the reknown couriers fail to deliver, but their delivery speed is horrible. Few things they should really look into are:


1.) Increase their delivery speed, I mean by good standards.


2.) Have a proper customer service.


3.) Maintain a proper website and update it frequently with the shipments whereabouts, it helps in being patient.


Finally, all I have to say is that though India Post is a good courier service, they should urgently look into the above matters immediately to regain their lost fame. They are good but like a tortoise, which I don’t appreciate at all. Not much people have that much patience. So I would advise people to avoid them till they make themselves worth the choice. Not recommended as of now.

The generation has changed. Technology has taken the change and the basic and official of communication is by letters and is done by the indian post.


Its charges very less and a stamp is required as an eligibility. My college sends my marks and attendance through indian post itself.


Customer service is good. We can also save money in indian post like in bank. it is also secured

Worse Service
Feb 16, 2016 08:34 PM 7603 Views

When I was in college there was state level exam and for that the compulsion was you have to fill form online and take printout of that and I have to send it through India Post only, so I had to do that.


After 3months when I was searching for my hall ticket number, I didn't find my name on that list and I searched for details then I came to know that the form is not reached at the center.


Next day I went to post office and asked about the details, but they were just ignoring my issue.


After spending 3hours at post office they told me that there was something issue about the delivery.


I can't understand what is going on.


First thing is this is government organisation and second thing if there is a issue then they should have been called me so that I can find some alternate solution but they didn't call me.


Because of that I was not able to give that exam.


Actually these are government employs who don't care about this deliveries.


Another incident was I ordered some goods from international site and there was not option about any other service, so I had to chose India Post.


I got product after 2months(1month late)and plus it was damaged.


In simple language I would say if you don't have any other options then also don't choose this service.


I would never recommend this service to anyone.

Good and prompt courier service
Feb 15, 2016 07:28 PM 8832 Views (via Mobile)

I've always relied on India Post for prompt delivery of my letters or documents. And I've never been disappointed.


Where: Almost all cities in India have a post office with India Post.


What: They deliver to almost every corner of the country which is definitely an advantage over other courier services. From small packages to letter to documents, they deliver everything according to their weight calculated.


Their recent addition of SMS service on delivery and tracking of the courier makes it at par with other courier services.


I recently had a document to be urgently delivered to my Bank at Mumbai. The document reached in two days and I could complete further formalities with the Bank. I liked the prompt delivery service. I've previously also used this service for delivering letters and it took maximum 3-4 days. An immediate SMS mentioning the delivery of the document was good too!


I've also send a greeting card to USA, which got delivered though it took 20days.


Rates: Since the package is weighed and then the price calculated, I feel it is lot affordable. For a small package of 25-30gms it may be approx.Rs40.


I've been to 3-4 India Post offices and the staff though government employees have been good and polite with me.


Last Word: Definitely recommending for their reach to the remotest of villages in India, and also for their prompt delivery service.

Feb 13, 2016 07:00 PM 8051 Views

I have used india post many times. though it is very good but the services provided by this were pathetic.  all letters which came from my school never reaches to my houses. they are very slow in the delivery of the post. the post man appointed by them in my area is very bad. he never deliver post to our area, we have to collect it from his house.


the customer services provided by indian post are worst, as once I send pan card application from punjab . according to schedule it has to be reach there in 4 to 5 days but after complete one week. they did not get the form. I contacted them to talk about this, they said that it has been sent through postman, it may be possible that he did not deliver it to destination .


guys if you want to send any urgent post or any then choose other courier company instead of india post.

Slow service in my area
Feb 13, 2016 06:39 PM 9064 Views (via Mobile)

India post is most trusted and useful service for letters.Indian post is largest post office service in world. But it could not working properly in my area.I belong to Pangi tehsil of Chamba district in HP.In this area INDIA POST service is very slow.


I am currently lives in Chamba city and I opened my account in sbi and the ATM card is sent to my Home address through India post service. This service takes three months to deliver the my ATM Card in winters month.I know it snow bound area but how much delay of letters.


In second and half month of issuing the ATM card I complained in sbi care centre they provide me to registered number of post and concern post-office.I checked this number in Pangi post office they said this letter takes some days to arrived here and you can wait some days. And in third month the ATM card was delivered.


After that I again apply for pin code because previous pin code is expired.That incident not give me  much loss.Other incident was when I apply forest guard entrance. They send my Admit card through by  post service in summer month. It takes twenty days to delivered the letter. When the ground test was finished. In that area its service is slow.


India post service in Chamba city is good when shop online they delivered my currier faster but needs attention is some areas like Pangi.


India Post is good service but needs attention. Late service of Letters  will create more damage to the people.


Thanks

India post is very active and useful service.
Feb 13, 2016 04:48 PM 7171 Views (via Mobile)

India postal is the oldest Government commercial courier  services.Postal is the best service available through out the country. Today there are so many websites and certain courier services are present but they provides and delivers their services to the limited places or within the city area whereas post office make the deliveries of goods or letters to villages and even every house of the rural areas.


Mostly they delivers general letters, speed post and registered letters, money order, parcels and telegram are the main services. They take minimum time for delivery. Where other agencies take one week, at the same time postal service make the delivery within 3-4 days and their charges also are very reasonable on sanding parcels or on speed post. Regularly I receive my personal letters and parcels through postal service within short time.


Today at every corner of the country we can find the post offices and they provide their very active and prompt services. The dealing of the office working staff is good with the customers and delivery people also have friendly relations with us. Besides that monthly bills of electric and telephone are also paid through post office. We can make money deposit, money transfer, fixed deposit, purchase of postal certificate and PLI by depositing regular installments all these are running very smoothly at this office. I am very happy with their nice and useful service.Everyone can make good use of it.


Worst experience
Feb 12, 2016 02:32 PM 7186 Views

India post is one of the worst service provider in this country, they are too slow in their service  and they do not care about their customers. One incident which I want to share is, I lost my Pan card and I applied for it online through emudra.


They delivered the Pan card through Speed post. From one point it should have been delivered to me within 2 to 3 working days, however, it did not happen. I got a text message on the 7th day that your Pan card number bla bla has been successfully delivered at your address. I was shocked to see the text message. I immediately contacted the post office and they informed me that it has been marked as delivered so you please come to post office between 9am to 10am to contact your local post man of that area.


Now, you all can notice how they work, finally after 21days, I got a call from the post man for the delivery of the Pan. I would recommend everyone do not trust India post.


Pathetic Service

The most, pathetic service of Indian government. No one is educated No body cares about your couriers.


This thing has to be privatize ASAP.  Products Came through this service is always damaged and no body takes the responsibility.


Always I have to go the post office and collect My item. They even do not bother to deliver to the addressee. Behavior is so bad that, I have not even want to go to the office further.

India post-Still Reliable
Jan 21, 2016 07:52 PM 6956 Views

India post is a Government’s commercial courier service under the Department of Post.  It delivers speed post, registered letter, e-money order and money transfer etc within India and abroad. It charges very genuine fee for their services as compared to private players in the field. It has a good penetration even in remote rural areas. With the advancement of technology, it has also equipped itself with modern communication systems for better services. Consequently, services have also become fast and prompt.  One can track the location of its consignment on its site at link “Track Your Consignment”.


However, since this is a government service, often and then it shows its glitches. Once, postman returned my speed post containing my PAN Card, making a remark that the address not found. I had to pay and apply again for the PAN Card. This time, it delivered at the same address given earlier. Second instance, I send some important documents from Delhi to a relative at BHU Varanasi through speed post. Though it showed the booking but the location /movement of the item did not reflected for the more than two weeks nor the item delivered. Ultimately, it delivered after two weeks which should have been delivered within three days.


After all, its services are still reliable as compared to the private agencies. There may be some fault of a single person for which whole Department should not be cursed. I still prefer the services of Indian Post.

Mixed Experience with India Post.
Jan 04, 2016 10:25 PM 6716 Views

I had mixed experience with India post.


Best part - India Post Covers almost every corner of our country, other courier services does not cover the remotes places as India Post covers.Rates are also reasonable unlike other service provider India Post follow system generated rate, no extra amount is charged.I had experience with other courier services also they charge whatever they want don't want to follow their company's rate calculator.If everything runs smoothly then it is cheap and best courier service and delivery time is pretty fast.It has good online Complaint portal than other courier service, users can see comments/status updated by authority.user can see status of complaint-close/pending.


Worst part- Attitude of Staff, they don't know how to speak with customers, don't wan't to listen complaints at local office, if one has register complaint through online complaint portal and if some responsible person from higher authority ask any explanation/report about the complaint to local office then they will call and react - why you have complaint, we are facing problem because of you.


In spite of having bad experience with India Post I am still using it as it has most of the area covered and it is cheap and reliable.
