Address:

DTDC PALLIKARANAI BRANCH OFFICE, No.1.Ma.Po.C.Nagar, Velachery Rd, opp. BALAJI DENTAL COLLEGE, Narayanapuram, Pallikaranai, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600100

Dear Sir,
I had submitted a courier to DTDC at their Chennai, OMR (karapakkam) branch on 13-May for Rs 50. It was supposed to be delivered to a district next to Chennai. DTDC courier tracking number is C23915075. However, it was never delivered/returned for several days. When i called their central helpdesk to follow up on this, they said they will take the complaint. Also, I had written to the customer service email id and also other email ids available in internet. But no progress was made. As per their online tracking it was sitting at their Madhavaram branch for several days without any action. When i called that branch office, they mentioned that they can't deliver it to the receiving address as its not within their coverage area. I asked why they accepted the booking but they asked me to contact the booking office. The booking office person at OMR branch is not helpful at all. I called their pallikaranai branch where the courier is currently held. They dont usually pickup the phone. After trying for several days, i got hold of them, and they said they will return it to OMR branch where i am supposed to go and collect. But they still have not returned. I have been trying to reach them again via phone but they are not answering the phone. It has caused me mental anguish and unnecessary hassles. the receiver has not received the document package which has caused lot of inconvenience. I had go to the OMR booking office several times to check if they have received the return package (as the person does not take phone calls). I had also written to the customer service email ID several times but they neither respond or take any action. Request you to pls help with getting the package back with appropriate compensation (atleast Rs. 5000).
