^^And yes we all can comment then that yes it has happened before. Also Fah33m if you are a member on Other forum i suggest you spread it there too as we need more people to join in retrieving your iPad.
 
Can someone please tell me what do I exactly write on their FB page or while sending the mails to their top management .I guess I will first start with a polite mail requesting them to look into the issue.

Yeah if Nehal can help us out with any possible legal statements or possibilities , it would be helpful .
 
^^ i think some one already posted against them :)

@faheem, post your whole story in short - summary
 
I think while packaging we should take care of such things.

I usually use atleast three layers of packing but still it can be bullet proof but NOT DTDC PROOF ;)
 
Indeed really sad news to hear.

Don't loose hope, try to fullest retrieving it.

On their FB page, someone posted it : (D)ouschebags and (T)hieves who (D)arn to (C)heat!
 
Ahh man sad to hear this, me too had a bad day with Trackon couriers. Bought some accessories for my iPod from ebay and they were supposed to be delivered today as per the tracking details.

But I get a call in the afternoon from some anonymous person that he found a package on road, run over by bikes & Auto with my address & phone number on it. I was shocked and immediately contacted the courier office, thrashed them over phone and asked them to collect the package from the caller.

Now the courier Guy comes home in the evening with a perfectly packed box, claiming it only had superficial damages. I partly opened the box and was surprised to see the courier service tape on the inside box as well. And when I refused to accept the package he started requesting me to accept it and claimed nothing has happened to the accessories inside, he mentioned the actual contents of the box at which point it was clear that they opened the entire package & repackaged it.

I was furious at that point and called their head office & made sure that they get the point and returned the package.

The whole point was, just a few months back my HTC Desire was couriered from same guys. I can't imagine the horror of what would have happened if my phone was found on road just like this.

Best of luck for this case Faheem. I think you have a very good chance since you didn't accept the package and opened it in front of them. Also noted the weight difference.

Just imagine if somebody else in your house accepted the package unknowingly in your absence!!

I did the packing of my recent item as follows:

I used a newspaper (TOI, KOlkata ed, 22.6.11) to wrap the box. All joints are secured with brown tape and i signed over the tape overlapping on the newspaper. It is then packed again in a plastic bag, generously wrapped with brown tape and all side joints are signed by me with date. The signs are overlapping the white plastic bag and the brown tape. Anybody tampers with the pack and you know it by just looking on the package. I can't think anything more for tamper protection.

Any more suggestions guys?
 
I don't think that posting on their FB page will work since it is joined by only 41 people. :p

We should boycott them. I still remember they took 64GB pen drive from my package and delivered empty box. :(
 
^ still it is better if we humiliate them socially , Boycott is a good option, but before that they and other people must know the reason why we are going to boycott them.
 
when i bought my iPad.. it gave me an option of locking it and tracing it remotely i.e. from computer.. is this facility available on the first gen iPads? no harm in giving it a shot.. :)

That works only for 3G ipads not for wifi ones.

Well now that you mention that.. why dont we simply start with the like button of their page first.

Then systematically break all hell loose on their page. Any unaware person would find the page like a hate page if the strength of TE swoops down on that page.
 
@Kauzy & Metalspree: You can do remote wipe and locking on first gen iPads, even on WiFi only models as well. The only catch is that the iPad has to be connected to internet for it to work. As soon as it gets on WiFi it will show up in "Find My iPad" feature (in web browser or your iPhone).

@Faheem: Keep us posted on this... it's really sad to hear that things have turned out this way. Also, I recommend posting your story with details on their Facebook page, as well as emailing the same to their nodal officers. Keep it civil, but make sure you keep the tough tone and make sure that they know that you are willing to take legal actions if it comes to that.
 
People, first of all do not make comments that seller should have packaged this way and that way and all such. What is done is done. they will be better careful next time. Now we think on how to get back to Ipad from those theives.

Also it may sound inconvenient but from next time if you want to courier something, be it DTDC or even trusty Bluedart, we can take pictures of the various layers of packaging and then when we take it to courier guy, we immediately take pics of the receipt and their packging, so that it can be proved later if they do some tampering with the package or the receipt. This will send them a signal that the sender is no noob and means business and has everything documented so chances of being caught are super high if they act smart.

Yeah and what would you do of it? Someone has lost an expensive consignment and is tensed. To top it all, you are asking him to post a summary?

Pay attention Gannu. CA50 was answering Faheem's query on what he should post on DTDC's Facebook page.
