Indian Postal Office — no mention of slab charges for international parcel

Address:

Mysore, Karnataka

Today i sent out an international courier to UK, which weighed 150gms.. Initially they charged me 375/- and gave a reciept for posting it to USA!! (Cant the employee read a 36 sized font under bright light).. when i questioned her about this she said she has to cancel this order and make a new one! for which she made me wait for 20 mins!!

After this when asked she mentions that for 500 gms it will cost me 535/-..
A DIFFERENCE OF 65/- FOR 350 GMS! (470/- for 150 gms and 535/- for 500 gms) when i asked her why wasnt i told about the breakage/slab charges before when enquired (previous day) she says SHE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE TO KNOW THE DETAILS OF THIS!! When she sits in that counter it is her responsibility to know in and out of what she deals! what the hell is she paid for!? what is our GoI doing w/o providing a list of slab charges for parcel. this is very much available in every other small courier service!

ALL THIS HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA!!
ME A PROUD INDIAN FEELS ASHAMED WHEN SUCH PENNY THINGS HAPPEN TO US IN AN INDIAN SERVICE WHEN WE GET BETTER SERVICE IN PRIVATE FIRMS!

was it my mistake to ve chosen INDIAN POSTAL SERVICE for my purpose!!

WANT too see anyone taking this seriously!

Indian Postal Office — Speed Post not delivered yet

Dear Sir/Madam,

I have sent an article through Speed Post of Indian Postal Office on July 27, 2009. It has not yet reached the destination even after 8 days.

Please look at the online tracking number of the article.

I am seriously effected with this kind of delay and it creates dissappointment.
Please help.

Indian Postal Office — PV PENDING

File No.W52062209

Date of Application :[protected]

PV Pending ( Police Verification)

Respected Sir,

I applied for passport on[protected] , with all related documents in Indian postal office In Siris (Karnataka)

After 1 month 1 police verification from sirsi came & it was over, police told that everything is clear

Later when i asked to the postal office & checked my status , it is showing that previous PV is awaited . I send them a mail to [protected]@dataone.in saying that i have submite the personal particular form which shows all the old & new address verification details.

But there is no answer from the Bangalore Passport office

I even asked the police in my old address they say that nothing is pending from our side & we dont have any details regarding this passport.

There is no response from passport office, neither the police know about this & not even the postal office where i submited the related documents.

Since i submited 6th of August 2009 & now it past Dec 09 ,

I am ashamed to the best service given by our Passport Office Bangalore

I hope you understand my problem , and try to get me my passport

Waiting for your early response

Thanking You
