I have sent a speed post (No. EE622447128IN)on 9th November from Madhapur (Hyderabad) to Chandigarh which contains my admission form and a demand draft of Rs 1000 for MBA admissions in UBS Chandigarh. But till date the status of the post is not available online, Its showing "Delivery information is not available at present. Please try again later". I have been preparing for MBA for 1 yr and my whole efforts will get wasted if that form was not delivered by 17th November. I have sent 4-5 mails to Manager Hyderabad and Chandigarh for the update of the status, at last the Hyderabad speed post Manager asked the Chandigarh speed post to update the status at the earliest but till now no action has been taken by them. I don't know to whom I should contact for it, as my future is at stake and the callous attitude and inefficiency of the speed post staff is really making me sick. Moreover the complaint application form section on website has a broken link.

Stay away from Speed Post!

The services of the speedpost are the worst. I had sent an urgent and important document by speedpost from Calicut Civil Station, Head Post office in Kerala on 31-01-2007 bearing No.EE [protected] IN to my son in Ambattur, Chennai. The address was distinct and elaborate with telephone and mobile numbers. The article, which was expected to reach the destination the next day did not reach the addressee even on 05-02-2007 evening. At last on 6th Feb., tracking the movement of the post, he had to take delivery of the article from PADI POST OFFICE in Chennai. I request everybody not to depend on speedpost services of India Post. Better go for private courier service.

Take the guys to consumer court. They will realize the seriousness only after getting slapped with a fine and compensation. Not otherwise. Filing complaints with the district Consumer forum is not difficult and not much cost involved.

I had sent two CD's from New Delhi to Ahmednagar. The parcel was received but one CD was missing. It is so strange that even after charging us there is no faith in the system. I really dont know my writing here would also help here. Its very sad to see the government organizations functioning like this.

I opened a saving Bank account in State Bank of India Biplabi Anukul Chandra street branch Kolkata on 19/3/07 vide a/c no1932 against production of my international passport as address proof. The bank sent a letter to me by speed post on 21/3/07 vide speed post no EE [protected] IN containing intimation to collect the cheque book. But the same letter was not delivered till to day. We made inquiries at BowBazar post office and submitted a letter also about non delivery of letter but the same is unresponded till yet. On the other hand SBI is not issuing me the cheque book on the plea that I do not reside at the given address.

SPEED POST service of the Government is really very good. It even reaches villages where no courier company can ver think of reaching. Just remember India is country of villages and Indian Post is doing excellent service.

I always send my letters through SPEED POST and I have not faced any problem with SPEED POST. So I support postal department. Actually SPEED POST is better than nay COURIER COMPANY in India for sure.

My satisfaction with courier companies is just 55% nd with Indian post is 95%. Another thing is that we can make accountable the Indian Posts but we can never ever make accountable any courier company in India.

So i appreciate the sincere service of Indian postal department.

Its such a shame for all those who work for the postal department that they have no honesty towards their work and they seem to be acting like thieves, its not a new problem, indians tend to have no honesty or conscience. I have lately not received 3 parcels which i am waiting for, for the 2months I'm sure that they shall never come, all of this makes me think about indians and govt workers.

The ###ers at Kolkata Post offices was on a ###ing strike till 15th of september 2007. So anybody who has to get his speed post routed through Kolkata, will get his delivery delayed. Good work mother ###ing leftist unions. And the strike was internal and you cannot even find it on any news website.

Any body who has tracking numbers starting with EE that is your tracking numbers look like EEXXXXXX can forget about their parcels for sometime, those kolkata postal ###ers had a strike and now they are trying to clear up all held mails, these ###ers should be dismissed immediately. Oh how much I hate them.

I sent a package on 17th October to India. It was delivered on 24th in India but didn't reach the addressee yet. Our country is certainly a nasty place with nasty people. They always wanted to enjoy other mans treasure. I was told it'll be held with customs people, only when they are in good mood, they dispatch it to the addressee otherwise they retain the package for themselves. It is a lesson to me not to send anything, by priority mails.

All the complaints being made here shows a clear picture of inefficiency and irresponsible attitude of Indian Post. I have sent many parcels to other countries through speed post and ofcourse they were finally delivered but always out of time duration which is specified by EMS. Moreover, there is no any online tracking available for speed post packages which is essential for this kind of services and other courier services are providing in the same cost. I have also contacted with the authorities of Speed Post to improve their services such as update status of packages and responding timely for each email. Their reply comes but always 10-15 days later of my email sent to them. I guess no one from Speed Post authorities are visiting at this portal as there are no any improvements seems to be happen. So we can only communicate with each other that we can still use speed post to send and receive packages but do not have any hope that they will be delivered on time or you can have an online tracking. Its a govt. department and they are commited to not to work according to our expectations.

Please forget about package once you send it by speed post and check the status of it with the receipent only.
