Blue Dart Express Complaints & Reviews

I have taken a very bitter experience by sending one Parcel from BLUE DART Courier service.
I booked a small envelope on 14.10.2009 at Blue Dart’s Patiala Office. The Patiala Office assured me to deliver the envelope by 16.10.2009. They had asked me to pay Rs. 230/-, the amount is 9 times higher than SPEED POST charges. The bill number was [protected].

Even after charging 9 times, the Parcel was NOT delivered to my son at the given address till 17 00 Hrs on 20.10.2009.
My son had to walk to the Mysore office of BLUE DART to take the delivery at 17 45 Hrs. on 20.10.2009.
Such poor service reflects badly on their claim to deliver the goods in time.
I shall never use BLUE DART Courier service in future and advice all my well wishers to keep away from this courier service.
Even after charging a whooping sum of Rs. 230/- , which is 9 times higher than the Speed-post charges, they delivered the parcel like an ordinary post.

Dear all,

I would like to share my bad experience with Bluedart Express Ltd. Company says, they are leading logistics company in Asia but this is all crap.

They don't even manage proper network in Mumbai only. They don't keep record of their delivery boy's so please don't send your any shipment through this company service.

This is the worst company in this industry. All people are liar and fraud. Don't ever believe in this company.They don't keep their commitments and don't deliver shipments on time.

my pan card was sent on 16th Sept,2009 through blue dart express ltd. airway bill no.[protected] and my pan card no. is ASPPR8920D. I was sent an sms message on 07/10/09 informing me to collect my pan card from the office of blue dart office from agartala. on calling to the office ,i was told that delivery at the residence was not possible and they asked me to collect it personally.Accordingly, I went to collect the pan card on 10/10/09 as I was out of station, to my utter surprise, I was told it was sent back again. so now where do I run for my pan card? please ensure that customers are not harassed by such action of the couriers that u transact business. thanking you and expecting your kind assistance.

This is regarding non delivery of shipment AW No. [protected] through Blue Dart which contains new PAN card of my son (PAN Card No.ASYPD9098B) issued by NSDL. I regreat to notice that the same is returned to origin by M/s Blue Dart which is absolutely the example of the poorest service and negligency by M/s Blue Dart. I would like to inform that I have been interacting with M/s Bule Dart over telephone / mail since 05.10.09. I am really surprised to experience so bad service even after geting the apology letter from M/s Blue Dart as below.

Moreover, we are always at our home since 03.10.09 till 10.10.09 except on 08.10.09 which I have also mentioned in my letter to M/s Blue Dart appended below as well as informed to M/s Blue Dart over telephone requesting not to deliver the shipment on that day. I am surprised to notice that Bule Dart person came ONLY on that very date (08.10.09) indicating the same writing the message on the outside switchboard. Even after that I contacted M/s Blue Dart twice on yesterday i.e. on 09.10.09 and M/s lue Dart confirmed me that the shipment shall be definitely delivered by 10.10.09, but surprisingly I have noticed that the same has been returned back to origin.

I regreat to express my above experience is an example of the poorest quality of service and negligeny from M/s Blue Dart.

Tnanking you,
Nirmalya Das

Dear K.Pushpa Menon,

Thank you for your prompt response. However, I regret to inform you that the said shipment is not delivered to my address till 6:20 pm today i.e. 6th October though it was confirmed by your local representative over telephone. Further I have another shipment with AW No. [protected] addressed to my wife Sangita Das for which also I have not received the courier till now.

I therefore request you that necessary attempt shall be made on 9th October positively as we shall not be present in the said address on 8th October as already confirmed in my trail mail.

This is the second time I am complaining about the irresponsibility of Delivering the Copurier and would be the last time.
The South Asia's Express Courier Service Has not delivered my Courier for second time even after 4 days.
This was after Blue Dart Officials called and assured they wouldn't repeat this mistake and wanted me to use their service to find the difference and give them a chance to server better.
and now too they make the same statement We will ensure this is not done again even after making their common statement that the delivery section knows is "Incorrect Address" inspite og giving the correct address and 2 phone numbers on the envelop.

Now I have understood the good old Postal dept Speed Post service is good.
people do not use "THE BLUE DART",

Blue Dart claims that the parcel has been lost by them and its under investigation. It is now 8thOct and i have still not received the parcel yet. The parcel is of high value and i am worried if i would get the parcel at all.

2. The following damage was done to the shipment:
(a) Handle of the bike was bent.
(b) The seat was torn.
(c) The box was completely deformed.
3. Despite my several complaints to kota branch the said company, no action was taken.
4. Please ensure action and kindly acknowledge the same.

One Credit card was dispatched from Standard Chartered Bank, Chennai through Bluedart Courier, Aw Bill No. [protected].

On 03.10.09, I enquired from Customer service centre about the possible delivery date and time, I was informed that packet has been colelcted for delivery and will be delivered by 6pm. I was available at the address till 6.30 pm and even after that my house was not closed.

To my surpirse, I received one SMS on 04.10.09 at 10.38 pm which states that "We tried to deliver Shpt#[protected] frm STANCHART. Select delivery TIMESLOT A [[protected]] or B[[protected]] MON-SAT; SMS D A or B to 56767 with date POST 24 HRS"

On 05.10.09 (around 10 am), I again contacted Customer Centre about this. I was informed that Mr. Praveen Kumar found my premises closed at 1445 hours (2.25pm) on 03.10.09. When I insisted that he has never reached at the address, I was asked to wait for him today as the packet has been collected by him. Till 1500 hours, the packet has not been delivered.

This is not the first time, that I am facing such kind of situation, Earlier, on two occasions, My premises were found closed by delivery staff of Bluedart Express. It is also surprising that there is no mention of their entry at prescribed date and time in the visitors register at the gate of society.

Ref AW bill no [protected]. (By AIR)
Booked on 29th Sept from Mumbai and reached Delhi on 3rd of Sept.
They assure a twenty four hour delivery (if booked by AIR) but this one has taken three days extra.

On tracking this we did not get the exact status of the location of the shippment as we ourselves were wanting to go across the blue dart hub to pick it up.
On calling the help line[protected] we did not get any help, we were told that the shippment is out for delivery since 14:00 hrs. (only to reach us 50 hrs later).

Due to this I have faced a loss of Rs. 98,000/-. We have recd the shippment and accepted it but have decided not to pay for delivery(as this is a to pay packet). Now we are being threatened by the Bluedart team that they shall send goons to our office & if we dont pay up they shall take us to court.

We have asked them to compensate for our losses that have happened due to the delay for no reason of ours.

I had ordered some Items from Indiatimes shopping. The items were shipped through BlueDart on time and I was communicated the AWB No. I started tracking it. The item was getting delayed now. So I checked with the tracking service which said that "Consignee's Address Incorrect: Unable to deliver". I contacted the loal address in Jodhpur Immediately. And I was informed that you address is not there on your package. So I went to collect thinking that probably Indiatimes were careless. Now when I saw the package, it had the complete address. The representative there at BlueDart office told me that your address is on the wrong side of the package, hence not delivered. I was stunned by the reply and such negligence of a company claiming to be so very professional. I had to waste my time, energy and petrol to drive down all the way to collect the item when I had already paid the shipping charges at the very onset. This matter needs to be investigated. Today It was me, tomorrow it will be someone else who will suffer because of negligance of the staff. I am attaching two photos which show the status on tracking site and what package was showing.

Hi,

I have deposited one of my important document at DHL counter, Vadodara on 20th August, 2009, Thursday to be delivered to Shibpur Howrah, West Bengal. The document was supposed to be delivered on 22.08.2009. But still on 25.08.2009 ( Tuesday) when am submitting this complaint, that document did not reach its desired destination. I paid Rs.260 to get quick delivery of courier service company. But I am really upset after having this type of mismanagement of the company. I sent mail to the customer care of Blue dart. They didn't mind even to send a single reply. As a citizen of India, it's my plea to look into this.

My Way bill no. is [protected]

My telephone no is +91 [protected]

I opened a new account with HDFC bank and the welcome kit was couriered to me through Blue Dart Express ltd. Since the kit wasn't received in stipulated time, I checked on the Blue Dart tracking website and found a message that the recipient wasn't available at the delivery address. On enquiry I found that the delivery person made visits to my house on different days between 11 AM and 3 pm. I informed the staff that I will be available at my house until 8 AM. The person negotiated and asked me to wait until 9 AM so he could deliver the package.
He still couldn't make it.
At 11.30 I get a call asking me where I am. "I have come here so many times. You are never at home"
I asked him to deliver it in the evening, he says "I will only deliver till 4 pm. After that you collect it from my office"

I would like to bring to the notice of Blue Dart Express Ltd. that banks generally open account for earning people - People who have a job/business etc and hence go to work somewhere. Such people cannot be expected to be available at home during office hours. Thus such packages should be delivered at convenient time or at a flexible delivery address.

An international courier of size 63(L), 8(w) and 27 (H) is calculated as 2.72 kg by the Blue Dart calculator as displayed below on their website.

Volume Weight Calculator

Packages Height Length Width Units Weight
1.00 27.00 63.00 8.00 Cms 2.72 Kgs
Volumetric Weight 2.72 Kgs

For the courier of above dimensions sent on Aug I was charged for 4 kg instead. It was even agreed by their customer care representative that I have been overcharged. I have been writing to Blue dart customer care since Aug. 03. As I have experienced earlier, there has not been any satisfactory response.

Hi Sir,

Blue dart chandigarh is making me foolish. He has updated his records that "Consignee Not Available At Given Address Contact Customer Service" without trying to deliver it. They didn't make a single call also to me. When i try to call their customer care, no one has received my phone.
