This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

On 12/06/07 at 10:17 hrs, Bank of India, Sonepat Branch, Gita Bhawan, Sonepat-13001, Haryana had sent a speed post containing Double “Benefit Deposit Certificate to my address Saroj Rani, W/O Shammi Batra , H.No 192/2, CTI Air Force, Jalahalli West Bangalore-15. The details of the speed post are EHO 127134681N dated 12/06/07. After enquiry at Jalahalli West Post office it was found out that Jalahalli West post office received the speed post on 18/06/07 but failed to deliver the same to the addressee. Further when Postmaster, Jalahalli West Post office was contacted, he replied that we do not have any connection with the delivery of these mails and the civil contractors are to be contacted to trace out the said speed post.

So far I did not get any satisfactory reply from the concerned authorities!

I have faced two incidences where in my deliverable was misplaced/stolen. Right now i am waiting for my parcel from Bhopal to Charlotte, NC, USA and its almost a month now that i am waiting for it.

The Parcel code mentioned in the Indian Postal Service Strip is - FAN-AIR-rp.a.84.

I am really not sure how to track it. Even the postal department is not aware of the parsel.
This is frustrating.

It is very frustrating that such a large organisation doesnt have a proper way to track the status..
It would be better if any online status enquiry facility is provided...

Indain Postal services.-They have bad mouthed postmen. I was delevired my passport but guess that the postman Ramu, Sahakarnagar,Bangalore was looking for some bribe. He made to produce different Identity cards, which I believe was not required at all.Addressing people with singularly is considered to be a cheap behaviour in karnataka,which he did. He suddenly statred to scream and yell at me.

Is there any way that this postman Ramu, can be taught a lesson from Postal services?

We have dispatched one book from india PUNE to JEDDAH Saudi Arabia around one month before, But the F*CKING books post still did not deliver the books.

So far I did not get any satisfactory reply from the concerned authorities!

Any body knows how we can trace the book?

The parcel number is FGN AIRRPKTA 7414.

BEST SERVICES OF INDIAN POSTAL DEPARTMENT ! WHY THEY COULD NOT BE CLOSED?

Though in some area where other services could not reach Indian Postal services as a part of Govt. obligation reaches and yes in rural areas we have no other option !

While in urban areas... yes email and courier services has kicked Indian Postal Services out of the Competition. Though this are only my views others may differ...
just to suppor5t my view I am telling you that I had done a "SPEED POST" to my relatives from Mathura to Dhanbad and Mathura to Bokaro(two letters) on 07-03-08 but till date 15-03-08 it has still NOT REACHED ! and instead of looking into the issue to get it reach the destination instead they are telling me to lodge a complaint and they will do an enquiry?

The details of the SPEED POSTS are...

1) EU135525766 TO BOKARO

2) EU135525783 TO DHANBAD

My view is I am not interested in any inquiry instead more interested in the letter to reach its destination! after all it was "SPEED POST" the fastest and reliable service from Postal department -- as they claim!

so why people shoould not switch over to other alternatives ?

DO NOT TRUST EMS AND THE WAY INDIA HANDLES PARCEL. Recently EMS (Internatinal Express post) lost my parcel containing very important documents, which took 3 months just to prepare it. There is no sign of delivery yet and its already been one month. If you call EMS, they will say investigation is going on... bla bla, Very frustrating, stop using their services. EMS is just big pile of [censored]!

I agree that indian postal service is not having proper tracking service, so the one thing we can do is avoid sending important documents in postal and try other options like courier.If its very "Urgent" then why do we want to depend on a system which is not reliable!Its Always " We Get What We Pay For"

the service is degrading day by day. A post(EMS-No-ED [protected] IN) which is of critical importance to me was sent from delhi on 23rd of May .But i am still waiting it to be delivered to me. Many times i have sent mails to spc@bangalore@indiapost.gov.in but they did not respond. I called up customer care even, they say that it has been delivered to some other address long back.
this clearly shows how irresponsibly they behave and work.
With this level of responsibility i m sure people would loose faith in speed Post.
i demand this matter should be looked into seriously
