DTDC Courier & Cargo Complaints & Reviews

On 13/10/08 sent a consignment weighing about 750gm, containing a fancy saree costing Rs.4630/- (Rupees four thousand six hundred and thirty) from the Thalassery, Kerala branch of M/S DTDC courier and cargo ltd., to a Mumbai addressee vide DTDC consignment note no.[protected]. 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. Since I was out of station for some period subsequently I was not in a position to pursue the matter further.
On 22/07/09, vide my registered with A/D letter addressed to the firm with attention to Mr.Subhash Chakravorty, Chairman and Managing Director DTDC I had requested them to pay back the cost of the saree i.e. Rs. 4630/- at an early date.In my letter dated 22/07/09 I had enclosed a copy of the bill for the purchase and copy of DTDC consignment note. Now its been over a year, inspite of so many letters there is 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

DELAY IN DELIVERY OF PARCEL.
WE HAVE BOOKED A PARCEL CONTAINING A SAMPLE FOR DEVELOPMENT ON[protected] THROUGH DTDC C No.Z03301002, AT COMUNITY CENTER EAST OF KAILASH BRANCH. BUT AFTER 7 DAYS OF BOOKING IT WAS STILL UNDELIVERED. WE HAVE LOST A BIG EXPORT ORDER DUE TO DELAY IN THE DELEIVERY OF SAMPLE. WE HAVE A TIME FRAME IN WHICH WE HAD TO SUBMIT THE SAMPLE, BUT WE FAILED DUE TO DELAY IN DELIVERY. BECUASE WE COULDN'T DEVELOP THE PRODUCT IN TIME. SO OUR CLIENT CANCEL THE PROJECT BEACAUSE OUR CLIENT COULDN'T CATCH THE SALLING TIME AFTER DELAY IN PRODUCT SUBMISSION.

I sent a valuable document via DTDC courier dated 6th Nov' 2009. It was surety bond of my company which I had to submit back to company on or before 14th of November 2009. I was continuously tracking my courier from DTDC site http://www.dtdc.in/ and on 10th Nov'09 found that my courier is coming back from Nagpur to Bangalore due to no service area. Suddenly I called DTDC on same day and politely requested to get it back because days left were too less as per my company deadline. DTDC customer executive just ignored my request and did not taken any action against request I made. The day after, I again called DTDC and asked for branch manager number. I called branch manager and told about importance of courier to me and requested for urgent action. But still things not gone well. I kept calling DTDC continuously and asking for courier but nobody reacted and just ignored my request. 14th Nov'09 were gone (the company deadline). And my company HR manager given me warning notice for not submitting surety bond as per given deadlines which directly affected my job profile. Besides, till today I did not get my courier back. (Still lot of things I experienced about DTDC are left to put up here because of length of mail. I will clear those if required.)

This was a scenario and now some Questions for DTDC courier services I am claiming for..

1) If my area is not serviceable area for DTDC then why do you booked my courier?
2)Customer prefer to courier services rather than post for getting fast service. Is it a fast service you are claiming for?
3)What is mean by Delivering Value (DTDC's theme line)?
4)Customer believes DTDC for there nationwide and even worldwide services. Is this kind of service is acceptable against your reputation?
5)Can DTDC recover my loss and mental harassment I gone through by compensating in terms of money?
6) I called DTDC 11 times in between 10th to 18th Nov'09. Isn't it sufficient number of phone calls asking for single courier? Do you expect more from your customers?
7)DTDC customer executive & manager told me, they will solve problem and call me after some time. But why dint they called me even once?
8)Whatever information DTDC posted online for my consignment number B56621497 on 10th and 12th Nov'09, Is it helpful information for customers or confusing?
9)Does DTDC know, what could happen to their customer because of their single mistake?

DTDC must be punished for this, so in future nobody face same problem and loss like me.

Dear Sir/Madam,
this is the fourth time ,the courier which was sent to my daughter from igrua,raebareli through DTDC courier didn't reach her.twice they sent the courier back without giving me any information.it was my daughter's exam hall ticket.i filed compaint against them,sent complaints to the head office,only then i received it only after a week(i.e)2 days before the examination.THE WORST PART OF IT IS THAT NOBODY GAVE ME A RESPONSIBLE ANSWER.now my courier(Z[protected] which has to reach tambaram had reached porur.when i asked the tambaram branch they told me that the courier is in transit.these are all very important couriers which are sent from an educational institution.dtdc courier says that the place where i stay is their non service area.please take immediate action.

I booked a doc. with DTDC Thane to Gwalior with Ref. M47657706 on Fri-6th Nov. which reached to DTDC Super Franchise Gwalior on Mon-9th Nov. When not delivered till Tues-10th evening, I called up DTDC Super Franchise Gwalior, They told me lies that address was not complete when the full address is written with Phone no. I told them this, then they said that they do not call on phone given with Address. It was a lie. they did not even sent out for delivery. I have complaint to DTDC-Mumbai Office Mr. Sameer[protected] on Wed.-11th Morning also wrote a feedback form on website, I was promised delivery on wed.-11th, which did not happened. Again complaint on Thurs-12th Morning to Mr. Sameer, promised delivery by 2pm, never happened. Called his office at 5pm, his office purposely said he is out & will call me back today, which again never happened. DTDC can not deliver in 6 days after so much follow-up. I feel people at DTDC also do not bother for customer complains & inconviniency caused.

It was posted on 27th oct 2009, but it reached on 4th Nov 2009, as they committed to deliver within 3 days of despatch. after making number of calls to in following number [protected] and [protected] on 2nd and 3rd nov 2009 again they committed that on 3rd Nov 2009, it will be delivered. But it is delivered on 4th Nov 2009. After 9 days, This is too late as courier service is concerned.

I had send a consignment to New Delhi from Bangalore on October15th. It was suppose to reach Delhi within October 25th. But I found on 22nd October still it is in transit. When I cheked with DTDC Bangalore and New Delhi there was no proper responce. I found after a day on 24th October that consignment is shipped back to Bangalore with reason mentioned"DESTINATION SHIFTED AND RETURNED BACK" (That is they are not able to find the office.).
I send again the similar document on DTDC Plus(to make sure I have a proof on address still exist) and it reached next day.
When investigated on previous consignment they say after investigation" it was new delivery boy and he cound not find the destination address".
I missed the due date and I had to pay penalty for the forms. When I asked to DTDC about the expenses I have reccured they say 'THEIR COMPANY POLICY DO NOT ALLOW ANY REFUND".

Why DTDC is abrupt in behaviour?
I have been made to pay penalty for somebody not able to find the addres.
I also have all the proof of this fault of DTDC with all paperworks.

Waiting for the justice,
Vijayendra Mallya
