Review Courier Service Feedback

Hi Guys,

I am planning to get an iphone from Hyderabad, the only available courier option is Bluedart and they are charging Rs1200 (with insurance+guarantee) OR Rs900 (no insurance+no guarantee).

Please suggest me a cheaper + reliable courier service.
 
if the only option available is blue dart then u have to go for dat only:tongue:

go without insurance u can save 300

if u want 2nd best option it wud be dtdc

dtdc is available all over india

how come u say that:P

plz check it out in ur area first
 
i din't know DTDC charged Local octroi on packages , got one from Bangalore via surface to pune, DTDC charged me 600 rs for 8kg package:S . i had no idea dat these guys charge octroi too:huh:
 
Gati is a bigtime cheat.

Recent experience:
Mediahome shipped 50 Verbs DVDs. Item cost 600/- + Shipping Total octroi at actuals should've been 18 Rs. These ppl paid mysteriously paid 30Rs for reasons known to them.

Then they charged Rs 84 towards Octroi handling charges and Rs 10 towards come other bull$hit reason and i end up paying 120 Bucks for no rhyme or reason.

When Anuj from mediahome spoke they said they'll charge 75 bucks flat and actaually they charged 120.

Stay away from Gati. Also, DTDC delivers straight to my office in Magarpatta, all i do is collect from the mailroom. Gati guy asked me to come all the way out of the magarpatta premises to collect the parcel.

I repeat stay away from Gati, hopelessly unprofessional.
 
^ I've heared some horror stories about DTDC, however, it has worked pretty well for me till now. Shipped and received around 50 + items via then just on TE and worked great
 
Why you guys don't use TNT? They don't have services to small towns - but where they have service they are very good.
Call their Toll free no. 1800 425 9999 and they will give you an estimate and also pick up the parcel from your home/office. Don't charge that much and ships electronics items also without any question.

No doubt its No.1 in India, once I tried to ship mobile to Mumbai, tried all the couriers, no courier accepted mobile, only TNT accepted and delivered as promised, charges also less. Tracking is marvelous. Very accurate.

^^^^^^:no:

Same had happened to me too once, when I got stuff shipped through GATI to Pune. Their Octroi handling charges are pathetic. I had even escalated this to their area manager, but all I got was that 'This is company policy'. Daylight robbery is what it is. AFAIK, no other company charges such silly and exorbitant charges WRT octroi.

In fact when mediahome was shipping me some stuff, I explicitly asked him to send by DTDC even when it was more exp instead of GATI that hes using. Cos I have suffered with GATI once :P
 
only with Pune sector they seem to be bad, other wise , gati gives us every day information of delivered packets, next day deliveries in most cities. Infact its cheaper for me to use DTDC to be true , but with so many lost items and missing items here and there i use them less now. Anyways now days just usign DTDC for pune sector :)

+1 to that. I have always shipped mobile phones thru TNT. Fast and accurate delivery. Charges very reasonable. Tracking is also super efficient.

DO NOT EVER USE BLAZEFLASH. They promised me 2 day delivery from Mumbai to Kerala if I use air freight. Actually, they took 6 days to deliver. Tracking was pathetic (even today, it shows that the shipment is in Cochin, while it has been delivered 2 weeks back). On top of it, they damaged my CD player and shrugged off responsibility.

I have sent several complaints through email, fax, phone, SMS but nothing happens! Its a major piece of $hit
 
I had ordered a 50 pack of Verbatim DVD's from Mediahome on 20th April, its 28th April 09, but has not yet arrived.

DTDC are playing the blame game, Mumbai office says take the matter with Delhi office, and Delhi office are saying vice-versa. Its like 650 bucks wasted (thank goodness had not ordered an expensive video card or so..). But, the pathetic courier service has changed my mind of buying anything from non brick and mortar shops. Dont mind paying a couple of hundred bucks extra, but at least will get the stuff...
