India Post — Unreasonable detainment of consignment

Address:

Kolkata

I had a product shipped to me from Australia on 30th August. It is 16th September today and India post was supposed to deliver it between 7-11th of August.

It was been detained by border agencies with the tag : RETAINED BY BORDER AGENCY/SECURITY FOR U at the Kolkata Foreign RLO office.

The consignment number is : LP[protected]AU

I don’t understand why, it’s a simple toy and the border agencies really need to look into that? I can think of a million better things they ought to do than waste their and my time. They are basically holding packages hostage at will now? Great implementation of taxpayer money you guys, definitely inspired me to pay my taxes.

Nobody even picks up a call, absolutely preposterous. I am severely disappointed at the sheer unwillingness of India Post to do their job.

The package was meant as a gift for my little brother for his birthday. I suppose he should just know that the postmen kept it for no apparent reason even when I paid for express delivery.
