DTDC Courier & Cargo Complaints & Reviews

My brother has sent courier from Latur on 29/01/10 docket no t36867656.
It was supposed to reach me within 2 days.
I am doing follow-up with DTDC guys since 4 days.
They are giving each others number.
None of them even bother to call back and tell the status of courier.
This is such a pathetic service.

Dear Sir,

I had sent a courier via DTDC from New Delhi to Gorakhpur, Docket No :D02519829 on 25th Jan,2010 having a shipment of clothes worth Rs 25,000/-.
I had applied for guranteed recevie scheme and paid some extra amount as well.

It has not been recieved in gorakhpur till date (2nd Feb). The local franchisie person in Gorakhpur as saying that "we do not have people right now" ("hamare paas ladke nahi hain").

I calledup in Banglore headquaters and they are saying to contact delhi office. Nobody is picking phone on delhi office.

Kidly resolve this serious problem.

This is a complaint against the DTDC courier service, West Tambaram, Chennai. It was the worst customer service I had ever faced. I had sent an important document from MCC, Chennai to Delhi, CGO complex on 21st, Jan, 10. It was an application for NIFT college which was to be delivered by 23rd Jan, I was assured by the DTDC service that the parcel would be delivered within 24 hours i.e. by 22nd Jan, 10. I was not informed of the delay in shipment and had to call them up to enquire about the shipment on 23rd Jan, 10. No one responded properly, no one knew how to speak English (which is funny), instead of responding to me, they kept chatting amongst themselves and at last they provided an incorrect information that the parcel had been delivered. I again had to call up DTDC courier, New Delhi, there the service was excellent - proper response, calm and patient; and I was informed that the shipment has not yet reached Delhi. I had to call up the Tambaram, Chennai office again which was a horrible experience everytime, I had to shout at them just to make them listen to me and they just told me to contact customer care. The customer care again was another nightmare, the lady just told me its not there problem that it was delayed. It was not the delay or the fact that I was not informed of delays that I'm complaining against but yes I do complain against the horrible customer service provided by the Chennai team.

Hi,

I am supposed to receive a parcel from my parents from Kolkata. It was sent on 11th of January 2010. But its 21st today and till now I have not received the consignment. Even after repeated calls and also lodging a complaint with them, they kept on harassing with improper and misleading details. When somehow I got the number of the Thiruvanmiyur, Chennai Branch Manager he initially said that they have not received it from the guindy office. But later after I started chasing them he said its not their responsibility to deliver things. Its the responsibily of the regional office to send the parcels on time. And he was very rude in his behaviour. He was very indifferent towards my issue and was behaving as if he was not at all bothered if I get that parcel or not. When I asked them to give me in written if they have lost my consignment or not, he said he wont give that and simply gave an email address to raise a complaint.
This is the most irresponsible and really unehical courier service I have ever come across. They are playing with the customers and making them fool.
Please do the need ful. My details are as follows :

My parents had sent me a parcel containg articles from Kolkata on 18 Jan, 2010. After i received the parcel on 20 Jan, 2010 in Delhi, i found the weight of the parcel was much lighter. As i was aware of the articles inside, when i opened i found that the parcel has already been opened and then repacked. During collection i only feel the weight was light, but to my nightmare the stupid DTDC who boast about their services has already opened it and repacked it by removing the items. Previusly i thought that DTDC was reliable but after this incident they are the most fraud courier companyavailable in India. . People can't rely on them and send items as they only believe in money. Customer has no value to them. So suffered customers like us would spread the word of mouth to stop using DTDC services and prevent our parcels from going to the hands of the thieves.

Sub. : Non Delivery of courier Through the DTDC Couries Service.

Dear Sir,
My brothers send my international placement document through DTDC Courier, through Amravati Branch on 28th December ‘2009 for Hariharnanda Gurukulam, Balighai, Puri. I have to submit this document to placement agency before 8th of January. But I have not received the courier from DTDC, when my brother enquired DTDC, Amravati branch about the delivery of courier the Branch Manager shown the following status on internet and told that the courier was already delivered to addressee on 2nd January ‘2010.

When I inquired the DTDC Bhubneshwar Branch, they provided me phone number of Puri Branch, but the DTDC agent at Puri Mr. Baliarsingh responding irresponsibly, he has giving contradictory statement sometime he is telling someone came from your Ashram and received the courier and next time he is telling that the mentioned area is not coming in his service area so he returned back the courier to my home address, still it not received on my home address also.

Now 19 days over, but still DTDC Bhubneshwar and Puri are not giving me status of my courier, where it is? Sir if I will loose this opportunity due to severe lacking and negligence of DTDC personnel I will loose INR 8, 00,000/-, which I will get through this placement. Since 8 days I am in regular in contact with DTDC Bhubneshwar, Puri and Amravati who will bear this additional telephone cost and stress I am going through.

Sir, please look into the matter and give me justice. In hope to getting justice from your end.

With best regards.

As the consignment was not delivered to the addressee even after seven days the matter was reported to M/S DTDC vide by email dated 20/10/08. I was also in touch with the local DTDC branch. M/S DTDC vide email dated 23/10/08 intimated that the matter is being investigated and also reassured that they will restore my faith in DTDC.
Subsequently I had contacted the firm vide my email dated 30/10/08,31/10/08, 20/11/08, 09/12/08 & 16/12/08; but there was no response from the firm. M/S DTDC were requested to pay back the cost of the saree through email, but there was no response from the firm.

Subject: Opening of sealed envelopes sent from DTDC courier Booking number N92741382 and N92858838

I had requested my father to send me a set of sealed documents by Bangalore to be sent to me, which my father sent to me by courier from Bangalore to Ottawa, Canada which was received by me in last week of November 2009. These documents had to be submitted by me to Canadian government but when I was about to send the documents in the 1st week of December 2009 I find that the sealed envelopes inside the main cover were cut open (may be using a paper knife). So now these documents were of no use to me any more even after multiple mails to DTDC they did not confirm that the document were opened by them. As I was losing time I had requested my dad to send me another set of documents which he did that using the same courier service (DTDC) now this time we had both me and my wife's documents and to my fate the sealed envelope containing my documents were opened and not my wife's. Now this invasion of privacy has been committed on me 2/2 times which leads me to believe that DTDC opens most of documents sent by their courier, but would not commit that this is done as per their policy.
Does anybody even know if they have a policy?

Why don't they provide a written statement that sealed documents may be opened by them at-least customers are aware of this and choose the correct means
I am attaching photos to show that university sealed documents were opened when I received them one more information I would like to provide is that you will see a bill/slip from TNT, I guess DTDC uses TNT for their international courier

Thanks and Regards

HELLO,

I had booked a consignment ( K[protected] on 13th DEC 2009 from TINSUKIA-(DAILY BAZAR) SAMPARK,DIBRUGARH branch of ASSAM. The Consignment had reached CHENNAI on 15th DEC 2009, as per your tracking records on DTDC website. The Concerned Branch(Ambattur Branch) or ( Anna nagar WEST branch) tried to deliver the parcel on 17th of December 2009, at my residence and was unable to deliver it since i was out for some work.

After that they neither called me, nor tried to contact me regarding the issue. The branch sent the parcel back to the sender address on 18th dec 2009. I need the documents urgently and i do'nt understand why they sent the parcel back, with doing only 1 attempt. I called the customer care, they say it will take 4 days to reach KOLKATTA, and from there it will go to the sender's address.I am sendign you a screen shot of the tracking detail from your web site.

Now my point is why can't the branch contact the concerned person, when he is not available on the delivery address?? I need an explanation for this, as the documets were very urgent for me and my carrer which has been ruinned just due to the mistake of DTDC BRANCH.

I'll SUE DTDC BRANCHES in AMBATTUR AND ANNA NAGAR WEST EXTN. for not doing their job properly, if i do'nt get a clear explanation about this. Since i ahve lost an oppurtunity in my life, i am not going to spare DTDC for this.

i had sent a courier containing important documents via dtdc courier from kaushambi to jabalpur which was lost by the courier service.

Hi,

I had couriered my PF form to gurgaon IBM via DTDC courier service on the 18th of Nov '09, on 22nd nov '09 when i tried tracking the consignment through DTDC'S online tracking service, i learnt that the consignmentg has been delivered on the 21st of Nov. I called the gurgaon IBM office for confirming the receipt of the consignment, i was told that the consignment has not reached them yet hence i called DTDC on their local (PUNE) number, after waiting for 10 minutes the call was answered by a lady, i explained the scnerio to her, she asked me to wait for a while, after waiting for another 15 minutes another lady took over the phone and i had to start all over again, this lady asked me to wait again i could hear a lot of background noise for about 20 minutes, the lady then came back and said that the DSR request need's to be sent for tracking the delivery hence she took my phone number and said that i would receive a call back with tracking details, the call back never happened.
I tried the SMS tracking service but there was no response as expected hence i sent a mail to DTDC gurgaon but there was still no response, finally i sent a mail to DTDC through the contact us column, to my suprise i got a response asking for more details accordingly i sent all the required details, i got a revert saying that i would geta response within 48 hrs on 5th Dec but i have'nt received a response as yet, it's been close to month now and i dont know where my consignment is, i learnt that there are 121 complaints on DTDC, so what is the action that has been taken against it or what action can be taken against DTDC for cheating customers on a daily basis.

Dear Sir,

I sent my gedree to a Korean University on 22nd Nov. 2009 from DTDC. As per the terms they have to deliver it within 5 days. Today is 8th Dec 2009 and it is not delivered yet. de document was suppose to be received by them before 30th Nov. Just because this irregularity in their service I have lost a chance for the higher study in a reputed International University. Please take an appropriate action over this issue.

My Airbill no is N92469165. You can track it and get the information.

Thank you

Abhishek Sharma
