DTDC Courier & Cargo Complaints & Reviews

Important medical reports were sent via DTDC courier no. F04881163 on Apr-2, 2010. The courier was despatched from Gurgaon and was sent for delivery to Colaba, Mumbai. So far , its Apr-7, 2010, courier has not reached.

Yesterday, morning (Apr-6, 2010), since I had not received the DTDC courier, I checked on internet and it showed 'out for delivery'. At around 3 pm, I called DTDC office to check on the status. One lady at the DTDC office (after much asking she told me her name was Meenal, refused to give her full name) put her delivery boy on conference. The boy said that my parcel was with him but he was not feeling well and point blank refused to deliver the parcel; even when we tried to explain the urgency that the courier had medical reports which had to be shown to the doctor. Ms. Meenal then hung up telling me that she will call me in half an hour. I kept waiting for her call. I had to only call her after half an hour and after much coaxing and requesting, Ms. Meenal told me that she will get it delivered by yesterday evening 6 pm. I asked her if I could speak to her manager. she said he is not there. Till date nothing has happened and I have not received my courier.

As a consumer, DTDC was opted for reliability and punctuality in delivery of important medical reports.
A huge inconvenience was caused. I am surprised that in this age a courier from Gurgaon to Mumbai takes more than 6 days for being delivered.......Its a shame. Companies feel that a customer is helpless and what difference can one small customer make to their business.

I have approached this forum in hope of some appropriate action that will be taken in benefit of the customers at large.

I had sent a parcel addressed to Bangalore through DTDC courier service on 20th January 2010.However, the parcel was lost due to negligence of the DTDC personal. I had submitted a written complaint at the booking office in Meghalaya Shillong on 10th February 2010 to claim the loss I incurred in sending the parcel. The authorities has remained apathetic towards my complaint and has not taken any necessary action in this regard. The complaint is pending till date and still no action is being taken.
I, therefore, request you to please take all necessary actions against the authorities in DTDC.
Please do contact me for any information in this regard.

I have a consignment from Orissa on 23rd March 2010 to be delivered in Chembur , Mumbai. The address , phone number everything was right. Till 28 th March i didnt received anything. I checked online i found the status showing the consignment is delivered at the destination. But it was not delivered to me. So i wrote a complain and started enquiring. At last on 1st April 2010 i got a mail like this:
********************************

*******************************
There was no phone call, nor any assurance and proof of delivery was with them .

EVEN I GOT THE SAME INFORMATION FROM ONLINE. I HAD ALREADY MENTIOND THEM ABOUT THE SAME. BUT IT SEEMS THEY DONT HAVE ANY PROPER MECHANISM TO TRACK THE MOVEMENT OF CONSIGNMENT.

Its really very risk to trust DTDC .

Hi

DTDC was entrusted with a shipment from Bangalore with consignment number B60950109 on 22nd March for a fee of Rs.80 to be delivered at my address in Goregaon, Mumbai.

The company did not have the decency to call and even inform me that the same was lost. Only after repeated calls on my behalf to mulitple numbers (as they kept asking me to call different numbers) did i get a confirmation on the 29th of March that they had misplaced the consignment.

Further, I was told that they would file an FIR for the same and deliver the same to my address the following day. Till date, (1st April), i have not received the FIR either.

Stern action needs to be taken against the responsible parties.

Hi,
I have given my documents to be couriered through DTDC services, for Kanpur.
Even after seven days , documents are not still received at my home in Kanpur(though its received at the office).
When we try calling them, either they dont pick up the phone or when receive , they say that
"we received it now and can you send somebody to take it."

When i call the relevant person here at hyderabad, at the first hand he doesn't talk properly, or he's not in office.

Courier no: H68490799
Date of dispatch: (25/03/2010)
Date of receipt (should have been maximum as what they communicated at the time of giving courier): 29/03/2010

wrf to consignment no.A17732347,I booked my imp and urgent parcel to Threshold Art Gallery,New Delhi on[protected] to be sent by "AIR". The parcel should have reached within 48 hrs atleast but it reached on[protected] .
The reason being that the DTDC baroda-ahmedabad sent it by "surface" and not "air".
I had called the DTDC offices in Baroda,Ahmedabad,Bangalore and New Delhi over 100 times.But they did not respond appropriate,while the Baorda Branch lied saying that the parcel has reached on monday,the22nd and would be delivered the same day or early next day.
It was only on[protected],that the Ahmedabad office said the parcel was being sent by "SURFACE"/road.
It hasa resulted in "Loss of my reputation" and "honour" and "loss in my Business and relationship".

I send a courier through DTDC from Lajpat Nagar Branch in New Delhi to Vikaspuri Delhi on 23rd March 2010. The package was never delivered within the same city. When you try to call there customer service, they just hung up the phone after taking your shipment number.

Dear sir,
I am Arpan Halder, final year MBBS student. My mother has expired on
01.03.2010. So now I am very upset physically and mentally also. My
home at Kolkata. I have need a xerox copy of madhyamik admit card for
age verification to receive my voter ID card that is very essential
within 1 day. But the problem is, I am now at siliguri and the
original & xerox copy of admit card is present here. So I decided to
send this by DTDC to Kolkata. I have posted the it at MEDICAL MORE
DTDC branch(address:NORTH BENGAL MEDICAL COLLEGE CAMPUS, SUSHRUTANAGAR
POST, MATIGARA, DARJEELING DIST, Pin code- 734432, phone:
[protected]/[protected]/[protected]/[protected] on 25.03.2010 at 11 am
and they had promised to deliver the letter(the letter no. Is-
K[protected] at the given address[Sajal kumar Halder,T-12(6th floor),CIT
road scheme LV, Entally,kolkata-700014,ph-[protected]] on 26.03.2010
within 11:30 am. But the letter is not delivered even now. The main
DTDC branch where my letter will be sent is present by the side of my
address and also same pin code(i.e. 700014). So, it is obviously
possible to deliver the lettes at the given address within 11.30 am on
26.03.2010. But the letter is not delivered even after 5.30pm. When my
addressed receiver(Sajal Kumar Halder) has gone two times at the DTDC
office at moulali branch to receive the lettrer hand to hand then they
said that the letter is not delivered at their office even after 5.30
pm on 26.03.2010. Even i have phoned at the DTDC office(ph. No.-
[protected] then they refused to tell the time when the letter will
be delivered & then when I said that I will complain at CUSTOMER
COMPLAINT FORUM then they have cut the phone line. Then i have tried
50 times but they have not responded to me. That is very shocking for
me. Because i have given the address of a office so that i can receive
the letter quirckly. [But the addressed office is normally closed at
saturday and sunday that means the office is closed on 27th and 28th
march 2010.I have informed to DTDC office about the closure of the
office. In spite of that they had promised to deliver the letter on
26th march within 11.30 am.] Hearing that when my letter
receiver(sajal kumar halder) requested to the nearby DTDC
office(Moulali branch) to keep the letter for that two days in their
office and he will receive the letter on 29.03.2010(Monday) then they
refused to keep the letter. However, my opinion is that it is their
duty to deliver the letter in time, when it is not possible it is also
their duty to keep the letter for that two holidays.
Please think about my problem that if the letter is not received
within 29th march then my voter ID card which is needed will not be
issued.
So, kindly approve my request so thaj I can take the letter from the
DTDC office(Moulali branch) on 29.03.2010

I received a courier from DTDC Whitefield Branch, Bangalore on 8th March and the courier was tampered. The pen drive inside the courier was missing. On asking about the tampered status, the manager of DTDC Whitefield branch is explaining as they have received in same manner. Now the Manager is trying hard to put the blame on the source branch from where the courier was dispatched(as they are not responsible and cant help). I have put a written complaint on source branch Dhanbad, Jharkhand from where the courier was dispatch. Still now, no results came out. This is a case of cheating and utter carelessness. When the courier was received in Whitefield, why they do not check the status of the courier?
Please let me know how to go ahead with this case.

Attaching a copy of the receipt where the declaration of the pendrive is mentioned.

Dear Sirs,

I had sent a courier from the Jorhat DTDC main office on 27/02/10 to Durrung Tea Estate, P.O. Bindukuri, Tezpuz and was assured that it would be delivered at the doorstep. As of now, it has not been delivered and I am being told at their office here in Jorhat that they dont take responsibilty of delivering couriers at tea estates, and it is lying at their Rangapara Office.

Sir, I had sent documents regarding my upcoming project of Organic Agriculture slated to be undertaken there, but due to this the Manager of the tea estate is now questioning my accountability. The project was slated to start from this month immediately on receipt of the documents, but in vain. The Doket No. is K39044023. dt 27/02/10. Please do the needful Sir.

- With Regards !
