[Resolved]  Practo — order medicines

Address:Bangalore, Karnataka
Website:www.practo.com

I had ordered medicines online more than a week ago at practo. The order was for around rs. 2200. One of the ordered items was cancelled by practo as they did not have stock. They also told me they would be initiating a refund for it. The medicines were supposed to reach me by 6th august 2018. And it is now 8th and the medicines have not yet reached me. The state of my health is such that i need medicines everyday and my financial position is also not so strong that i can be buying medicines outside. I have a shoestring budget. Practo tell me they do not have a phone number where i can contact them. I have contacted them through chat and they assure me that the medicines will reach me soon. But i am beginning to get extremely annoyed with this. I order medicines every month at practo. And they are treating me like this.

Complaint marked as Resolved 
I got in touch with Practo by chat and after listening to me patiently twice they alerted their support team. It was actually the courier Hipship (Fedex) fault. They rang the wrong number and did not contact me to verify the address. Probably their courier boy was someone inexperienced and he just returned without making proper efforts to deliver the package. I phoned Fedex phoned and they told me the package will arrive before 8 PM today evening. I told them since it is a work address I will be available only till 5PM and the lady concerned made arrangements to send their delivery people to my office before 5PM. I just recieved the package. I don't have to miss my medicines tomorrow. I will continue to order medicines with Practo since it is not really their fault and not even the courier's fault as it was the delivery man who messed up things. No point in holding the companies responsible for one individual's mistake.

Practo just got in touch with me and the courier fellow phoned up. It seems their courier person phoned the wrong number and could not get in touch with me. Someone else called me and told me the medicines will be delivered by tomorrow. Courier boys in Kerala are notorious. This courier is Fedex. Mostly the courier boys find some excuse to return the package without making proper efforts to deliver it in Kerala. Recently one of my packages from Blogchatter got completely lost that way. Anyway it does not look like Practo's fault. It is Fedex' fault for employing irresponsible people.

After yelling at umpteen people I finally got my medicines today. It was actually not Practo's fault. The Hipship (Fedex) courier boys are notorious for their dereliction of duty. Even today the courier fellows when they reached my office did not even have the courtesy to request me to colme down and collect it as they seem to have some problem in getting past the security. I would have expected a polite request. But no, I got a call and a peremptory summons and a voice commanded 'Come down and collect your courier. Phase iV'. This is the India we live in. In any case I am marking this complaint as resolved as at least I have got my medicines and my sugar levels will not rise any further.

Practo provides with almost fresher doctors in name of top doctors while you book an online appointment via chat. The doctors seldom replies and this service is eating money from the consumers in name of health case and online consultation
