TNT Holdings poor delivery times

TODAY is the 22 November 2009 and still no delivery, TNT blame SAA (South African Airways) and CUSTOMS for not releasing a container with multiple consignments because according to them not everyone has paid there duties on the consignments, I have never had a problem with DHL and used them mant times before. I tried calling for feedback seldom get back to you maybe 1 out of 4 times and another thing they should update internet tracking service daily to let you know what is happening. Really bad service from TNT South Africa, wont use them again if I can help it.

TNT Express is one of the worst parcel Deliver company you can find.

My Delivery was sent with them on 10th December 2009 and today is 21st December 2009 and i have not still recieved it and its not comming from outside but within the UK.

I gave them an alternative address to deliver but instead of delivering my goods to my alternative address they delivered to the wrong address and that is someone else.
and they say i gave them that address but they wont admitt their mistake buy entering the house number wrong. Now how can someone give their house number wrong?

When i contacted them again then they went back to the wrong address and picked up my goods and i dont understand why did that person accepted the goods in first place where the parcel doesnt belong to him?

When they picked up the goods they went to deliver to the orginal address and i dont understand why did they go there when i gave them an alternative address first place.

So i contacted again and they said give us an alternative address which is the same address again i gave them. But next day and the day after no goods yet still recieved so whats happening?

I waited and contacted the company who sent the goods with TNT and explained to them whats happening and when they contacted them the TNT express lied and told them the wrong stories.

They said first we delivered it (Which is wrong house they didnt admitt that to them)

They said we delivered it again but no one signed it (This means they went to the orginal address instead of alternative address and they didnt admitt that.

Then they say that we went to the alternative address and someone refused the goods (Which is lie because we all were expecting the goods also i have given the contact no.

Now i have given them the same address and in the house and its been 3 days but no goods delivered yet from them.
Contacted the sender and they are finding out.

All i here it will be delivered next day and when next days comes the message is same it will be next day and yet i havent recieved the goods yet from TNT.

They messed everything up in their office and people havent got a clue what they are doing in to TNT express.
The driver is not at fault but the people in the office is making mistakes over and over.

It is a Bad experiance for me with TNT and i havent got my goods yet from them.

TNT Holdings bad service

TNT courier service is the worst service you can get, most of the people here are complaining about scam, but i got deal with the geniun TNT courier.
My complaint is: i purchase some mobiles from a manufacturer in china, he uses TNT to send me the mobiles, i never receive my mobiles till date..
Whenever, i call TNT Mauritius, they speak rudely, that they don't know anything where my parcel is. Am sure they have lost it in transit, I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY ARE THE BEST COURIER SERVICE IN THE WORLD. For me its the worst one, they must change the title ' SURE WE CAN' to ' SURE WE CAN STEAL '
Most people here in mauritius, have lost their parcel while using TNT courier service, i still can't understand, who are those fools who has given tnt the award for best courier service

TNT Holdings Bad service

Totally not satisfied with the service TNT - Libya provides. It's not the first time we have been not satisfied by them, but this time is probably one of the few last times we will deal with them.
I had an extremely important parcel sent from China and I called to arrange for delivery the day after the arrival of the parcel. On the phone the assistant confirmed the deliver, however nothing was delivered until 3pm. I called to check up, after 5 unanswered calls the assistant picked up and said she will contact the driver. The driver called me and said he was on the way and he will deliver it. Based on that, I called the client who the parcel belonged to so he could collect it and guess what? I ended up with a very upset client cause he had to take a 2 hours drive just to collect the parcel and he didn't receive anything. I called the driver to see why he hasn't deliver yet. He picked up and said it's after working hours and he will do it tomorrow. as if it was he is the one making the decision when to deliver it.

Thank you very much TNT for giving your dealership to a company in Libya without supervising their services.
Now I don't even know if the Actual TNT company is reliable anymore!

FedEx is what I'm going for I guess. At least they answer my calls every time I call.

TNT Holdings amazingly bad service

Tnt couriers broken my brand new microwave oven during shipping and refused to except

Tnt couriers broken my brand new microwave oven worth rs.10200/- and harassed me a lot, used bad language and instead showing apology they say they didn't break it & refuse to settle the claim.

Dear sir

We deal in electronic items like microwave oven etc in new delhi

This is to inform you that we receive a order to deliver a brand new panasonic microwave oven nn-544 of rs. 10200/- plus shipping charges to baroda (Vadodara).

So we had appointed tnt couriers to collect the brand new panasonic microwave oven I was advised to open a commercial account with them so it will deliver in good condition

Docket no. [protected], they picked up the parcel brand new microwave oven in excellent condition and delivered to my customer in baroda in extremely broken condition, even outer box was totally damaged, so my customer who is a 70 years old uneducated lady who stays alone in her house refused to take the delivery as it was not in except able condition so tnt courier man misbehaved with the old lady and said he has nothing to do with it and forced her to sign the p. O. D so she signed it and later asked her neighbour to open the microwave oven and take it out from box & found the microwave oven in completely broken condition so she called me immediately and told the matter then I immediately called tnt customer care and told the matter, they asked me to write a email letter to mr. Jatin chopra so I did next day I called him and he called my customer in conference call with me, my customer & mr. Jatin chopra from tnt, there my customer said over 20 times that its totally broken and how tnt delivery man misbehaved with her so he said we will investigate and 2 - 3 hours later he called me and said he did all investigation and found we didn't break the microwave oven and delivery man did not misbehaved at all and started shouting at me and harassed me by saying things like "we are not movers and packers" and ask me to read the back side of their receipt.

So I e-mailed the team leader ivy das but no response so I called her after 4 days and talked about the matter then she said she received my mail and she will investigate and send me e-mail written �we are investigating the matter so till that time kindly hold� then they picked up the broken microwave from my customer and send it to me, when I received it I was shocked to see the outer box totally damaged so I opened it in front of tnt delivery man and also took still pictures and video recording so when I opened the box it was completely damaged all parts broken so I called mr. Jatin as ivy das was not available and the moment I called him he shouted at me and said �how dare you call on my personnel number and asked me who gave you my personnel number and cut my phone� so I refused to take delivery and I personally went to tnt office okhla to meet ivy das and I also gave her photographs printouts of broken item then she said she will give my case and photographs to security department and they will look at it and this process will take 21 days so I accepted to wait for that time and after 25 days they send me the letter saying sir we have investigated the matter and we cannot do anything as its signed only and item broken is not mentioned on pod (Proof of delivery) then I called ivy das and she said sir I have tried on your matter but claim is not possible as its your first consignment with us. And after keeping my damaged microwave oven for 1 1/2 months they returned the damaged unit.

I request them to talk to pickup man who received this product from me in excellent condition he can be a proof as he know in which condition he picked up the parcel, he should remember as when he come for pickup even in front of me he dropped very badly my microwave in his pickup van so when I told him to take it easy so he said sorry sir, I even called the pickup team leader about this matter.

I feel cheated as I was suggested by ms namita from tnt to send by commercial account as in normal account packet above 10kgs is not possible.

What should I do? What�s my fault? Why should I suffer rs10200/- plus delivery charges for some other�s fault? I already have some bad experience with tnt but I even didn�t informed tnt as its of small amount loss but its a very big amount for me.

Please do needful, help needed as its a very big amount.

TNT Holdings cheating, losing suitcase's keys &

Dear Sir/Madam
I would like to inform you that I contacted one of TNT branch in the city center, Amman (Jordan), to send luggage and boxes of personal items including clothes, books, and glassware abroad to my sister (American citizen) in USA (door to door). The persons in charge at that branch told me that it would cost me about JD 1.0 per kilogram. But, I was surprised when they demanded JD 1800 just after they took my stuff, which weighed 351 kilograms. This was on, August, 20th, 2008. I was very upset, discontent for their dishonesty, as they cheated me. Moreover, some of the glasswares which were in the boxes were found broken when arrived USA, and the keys of the suitcases were lost. I am quite sure that the way that the porter carry the boxes while transfering them from my flat to the vehicle was not right. Although I warned him. Moreover, the loss of the keys made it impossible to determine other damages that might have been in the suitcases.
This shows how irresponsible people they were.
Unfortunately, I recently realised from the TNT website that Complaints should be submitted within 30 days of the incident date. This explains why TNT personnels kept asking me to give them sometime to solve the problem, so that I wouldn't be able to complain, in spite of showing them the photos of some of the broken items.
I am affraid that this attitude will affect the reputation of TNT.

TNT Holdings email notice of a lottery prize

I received an email notifying me that I won a lottery prize, of about 500, 000 pounds. It was suspicious looking, without any identifying company or business name. I responded. In response I was told to contact a courier service, TNT Courier Service, and ask for their courier cost. From this last response, I checked on the company to see if it exists. It doesn't.

TNT Holdings fake lottery prize

I recently received an email informing me that I had won a lottery prize. I have since received emails regarding paying out money to enable the prize to be sent to me. I thought I would investigate it further and found several sites on the internet where people have received the same or similar emails regarding prize winnings and have since found them to be fake lotteries.

I recently received an e-mail informing me that I have won a lottery prize form the British National Lottery, and the sum is very big, I can' t deny that I have contacted them by email, becouse I was very happy and I couldn't believe that I have won such a big prize especially I am not a rich woman and I have children to take care and I need this money, they replied me and give me the TNT courier company address to contact them to gain my prize, but when I read thier conditions that I must pay for thier servieces in advance and it was to much and I don't have it, I was confused and couldn't believe so I started to search about the TNT company and the British Lottery and I have read many complaints from people whom received the same email, I thanked God to not fall in the trap, but I think the interional Police must take hard procedures and fight them. thanks a lot

TNT Holdings Fraud and cheating

Hi there, I am really pissed that i was scammed by the microsoft promotions and the fake tnt courier service in the uk. I was scammed on september 4th 2008 by persons who claimed to be tnt dispatch officers and microsoft promo claim agents.

They called me everyday for three mths claiming they paid for part of my shipments... and that the parcel was being held in my country and i have to pay the difference of 1000us and it will be delivered to me the next day.

I was having cell phone problems causing me to lose contact with them for a month! When my cell was working again they told me the money is still there in my country being held by my government and i dont have much time left i paid them twice and now i hear nothing after asking for and update!

It all started on Craiglist.com Best offer***MacBook Air*** 13.3 - $350 PostingID: [protected] This bad economy is forcing us to fault for this attractive deals online. Shame on those who take advantage of us. I spend my whole check that week for a Mac Air that I thought I would get for a lot less than what I can afford to pay. I hope no one else fall for this trap. Do not make any wire transation. Deal Locally...I felt for the trap and I lost my money. first email: Hi, The laptop is still available, but I'm currently in London, England. Because of the financial crisis, I lost my job in United States and I had to move at my sister in United Kingdom ( here I found a good job ) . The laptop is in perfect condition, and I will sell it only in US because here the warranty and the AppleCare are US registered. I am selling the laptop because I don't use it anymore. I work a lot with Windows XP Pro and this one can't run this Operating System. Click here : Apple_MacBook_Air to see some pics with the laptop so you can see the condition of the laptop. I bought the laptop 4 months ago and it still has 8 months of Apple transferable warranty remaining ( you can extend the warranty for one year on your name ). I hope you are still interested and we can make the deal happen right away. Since I can't meet you and make the exchange, I would like to use a service that will help us with that: www.tnt.com/tnt.express.london.depot/third_party_service.html TNT is a worldwide delivery company (like Fedex, DHL or UPS). You can see from their procedure that you will be able to check the laptop before I receive the payment. If you are in a hurry, I will use 2 day delivery (on my expense). Let me know what you think.

TNT Holdings scamming money for apartment rental

I am trying to find an apartment to rent in Brooklyn, NY. Searching on craigslist I found a GREAT apartment. The person emailed back and it was immediately fishy- she was in London and needed to rent the apartment ASAP and wanted me to use TNT express service (tnt.com) to deposit payment and she would send the keys (because she's the only person with the keys). I have found several other complaints online saying that the scam had been carried out on them.

I know it's next to impossible to locate the person responsible---
Susanne Hevner
34 Abbeville Road
London, SW4 9JN
United Kingdom

But when I contacted TNT Services to try to check it out and see if it was for real, they actually responded with this guy as the TNT payment agent

Charlles Moriss
192 Tulse Hill
London, SW2 3BU
United Kingdom

And the response looks pretty real, from address [protected]@london.com -- this needs to be shutdown so more people aren't scammed out of their hard earned cash.

I have about 8 emails from these scammers so let me know if I should email them to someone.

I think they are a big criminal organization. The same has just happened to me for Austria when I was searching for a flat in Vienna from jobwohnen.at. Scammer's name was Katarzyna Szepietowska (katarzyna.szepietowska@hotmail.com), probably a girl's name whom they defrauded before because they even sent me her passport. Before I realized I am fooled, I sent mine too. So they'll probably use my passport and name to deceive others. Here is the similar email I received from them:

Thanks again for your reply.
If you are ready to proceed with this transaction I will need to inform you the steps about how this service work and how we can bring it to an end. You will only have to deposit to TNT Service the first month of rent and the guarantee deposit (400 EURO + 400 EURO = 800 EURO), so they can proceed with the shipping, and you can receive the keys and the contract. Like I said, I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the Keys and the contract signed by me right away.

I will explain to you step by step how this will work.

1 - To start this transaction I will need to know your full shipping coordinates and I am referring to your full name and full shipping address to proceed with this deal.

2 - I will go to the TNT Office and leave the Keys and the contract in your name as the intended receiver. (For my secure please send me your passport )

3 - TNT will check the envelope to see if everything it's OK with it and also the legal papers that will come along with the Keys.

4 - TNT will send you a delivery notification to let you know they have the Keys and the papers in their custody, in which you will be told that they have the Keys and that they've checked it. Also TNT will give you further instructions about the money deposit.

5 - After the payment is confirmed the delivery process will start and when you will receive the keys, you will have 2 days inspection period before your final decision to rent.

6 - If all is in order, you will instruct TNT to give me the money. Further rents will be sent directly to my bank account.

7 - If you refuse to rent the apt, TNT will give you a full refund (800 Euro) and you will give them back the keys and the contract.

Thanks for understanding, but at this point just let me know if we can do this, please send me your full name and full address, the city, postal code, country and your phone number to start the transaction.

Good luck,

And here is the name and the email address of the so-called employee of TNT: Sebastian Morgan, tnt-global@mail.com
I've forwarded his email to the department of internet fraud of the actual TNT. e-crime@tnt.com

Austrian version (scammer Katarzyna Szepietowska, katarzyna.szepietowska@hotmail.com) is offering a studio apartment in Ottakring, Vienna for 400 Euro per month. I found the flat from http://www.jobwohnen.at/.

Thanks again for your reply.

Good luck,

Then I received an email from a so-called TNT employer called Sebastian Morgan from this email address: tnt-global@mail.com about the payment notification. It's obviously a fake one. In order to report it, I forwarded it to the internet fraud department of the actual TNT: e-crime@tnt.com.

Me and my propsective roommate got this email. It's the third, I'll post the others later but we found the property on a reputable housing website. His 'name' is Robert Hanson and he claims to live in Denmark with his wife. roberthanson255@gmail.com

Hi again,

I have looking for solutions for sending the keys and the best option to do all the treatment can offer us the company TNT. It is a known company worldwide which reduces the risks associated with Internet transactions by acting as a neutral third party licensed to transact online. So, both parties will be protected and we will have guarantees that only qualified personnel may offer. TNT Company may appoint one of its employees to represent me and handle everything in a safe, legal and more than all, right for both parties. For all these reasons, I think that TNT company is the best guarantee that we both have to protect ourselves from any risk that the distance treatment may expose us.
I went to one of TNT offices and I talked with agents about sending the keys and they explained to me the whole process.

First you have to fill me up your data:
First Name:
Last Name:
Address:
City:
Country:
Postal Code:
Mobile Phone Number:

With your dates I go to TNT and I leave the keys and the contract and immediately after, an TNT agent will contact you to confirm you the service and the fact that I left the keys and the contract at the company. TNT, also will send you a report with all necessary information, you have to analyze it and confirm your information.
Before starting any transaction, TNT requests from the receiver, in this case from you, to confirm that you were willing to receive the keys. As proof of yours acceptance, TNT requires from you the payment of the first month + deposit for the apartment, £2200; the payment must be made through a transfer at name of the agent in charge to transport the keys. The money transferred at the company is the sign that you have to give to get the keys and make the visit to the apartment together with the TNT agent.
TNT agrees to keep the money until the keys will be on your possession and you will be able to visit the apartment.
You must do the transfer according the instructions given by TNT and send the transfer details at TNT. After the confirmation of the payment TNT starts the process of transmission. Within a maximum of 24 hours the TNT agent communicates with you to fix the visit of the apartment.
After seeing the apartment you will make the decision if you rent it or not. If you believe that my apartment is not what you need you must say this to the TNT agent, present there with you, that the decision is to not rent. In that case the TNT agent has a duty to return you the money that you leave as a sign with the agency, meaning the money you advance through TNT for the apartment. The return of the money will be made immediately, in cash. But if the apartment is what you want the visit will be continued with the signing of the contract that the agent will put at your disposal. In this case, the keys remain in your possession (you can move there as we agreed) and the representative of the TNT will ask you for a subscription agreement in which you give your permission so the company can give me the deposit money you made.
I'll pay all costs of transport services for the contract and keys of the agency, you only have to pay the deposit in advance to TNT according to the information they will provide to you.
I wait the e-mail with your details and I will go to the agency to resolve everything.

Regards,
Robert

then her second message:

From: "Rebecca Kreitmayer" Add sender to Contacts

Hello,

Thanks for your reply,

You seem to be a very nice person and I can assure you we will not have any problems
First of all if you want to rent the apartment you need to pay 1 month of rent + 1 month of warranty ( $600 + $600 = $1200 ) ! ( but that month of warranty you will receive back after you finish the contract ) !
If we decide to proceed with this transaction, I will have to contact DHL and provide them all the necessary information, so they can start the process right away.
I will need your full name and address for that. You will receive a notification from DHL shortly after that, together with all the instructions to follow and the invoice as well.
Regarding the payment, you will be instructed to deposit the money to DHL. They will hold and insure your money until you check the apartment and decide if you want take it or not.
That is how their buyer protection policy works. As far as my concerns, I will be glad to know that DHL has the possession of the money during the delivery period. That is my insurance. As soon as the funds have been deposited into their account, they will immediately start the shipping process.
The keys and rental contract will be delivered at your address in no more than 3 working days. You will be given a five days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and contract at home.

So how is about the advertisement in the Domain website which mentioned the price of your apartment is A$ 400 per week with $ 2.400 bond?

I am so afraid with that. Kindly suggest me what to do.

Hi Dr. Rebecca . It is lovely to meet you and really proud to meet you. Sure! I do want to stay in your apartment and I promise will treat your apartment as mine! I am doing my PhD in UniSA Magill campus at the moment so I will stay here in Adelaide (and maybe in your apartment) for 4 years. Is that a big issue for you? May I know how many bedrooms do you have in your apartment and is that alight for me to stay there for 4 years? As I do not drive here, I do not want to move and keep moving during my settlement here in Adelaide. I am just thinking maybe when you come back from United Kingdom, you will ask me to move from your place and I will absolutely stress when will I move. lol. As I said before, I just came here i Adelaide last November and currently stay in a share house with too many people (5 people) and I could not stand with it any more since being a PhD student I have lots of reading loads and need to study mostly of the time and I am thinking to move to at least 3 people inside the house. I would be really happy if you could provide me with a furnished room (I do not have my own transportation and I have to think about money as will as I do not work here in Adelaide and just get scholarship from my government to provide me only for 3 years while my program will be 4 years, I need to be economize in spending my money). In this case I do hope your generosity i helping me. You can trust my words as well, I am muslim (I hope it will not be an issue for you).

I would like to ask you about the bond. How much will you require the bond from me? Also I do want to know about the bill, water, gas, electricity and internet. I need to know usualy how much you spend for them in a month? SO i can calculate and manage my own fund.

One more question saw another advertising about your house, and it makes me worried as it said that it will bearound $ 400+ a week. SO that is why i want to double check it from you. If it is $ 600. I will absolutely take and stay in your apartment.
Here is the link of advertisement that I saw:

http://www.domain.com.au/Property/For-Rent/Apartment-Unit-Flat/SA/Adelaide/?adid=8354533

Have a good trip there at United Kingdom! I am looking forward to hearing from you soon!

it's happen to me in Germany too. I found it on www.studenten-wg.de and I know that it's so cheap for Berlin and the location. Here's the email:

Hello dear tenant,

Thanks for your interest.There is no other persons in the house, so you will not have to share the apartment.The registration is allowed.
My Apartment is already furnished including things like washing machine, water, electricity, gas, internet connection e.t.c..The kitchen has fridge, cooker, oven and other kitchen stuffs.A dining table accommodates 4 people.If you want to bring your furniture, we can solve this. All rooms have air-conditioned (cooling and heating). All furniture is new and modern you can see in the photos. The apartment is located at Wielandstr. 6, 10625 Berlin - Immediately available

We are trying to find a tenant for this property ASAP, first-come-first-serve basis

My name is Charles Berger (48 years), i live in United Kingdom, but my daughter Susana graduated in Germany this year. I bought this 1-room apartment 4 years ago for her and her fiance.Now they have returned home and have found a good job here.I want to rent this apartment because some money are welcome since it is free, anyone living there and sell it in 4-5 years. Maybe if you are interested we can discuss further about it and I can make you a good price.

If you are 100% interested in renting my flat, I will just send you the keys and contract using a Estate Delivery Company. They will act as a third party in our transaction.I hope it's OK with you, since this is the only reliable option.If you are still interested to rent my apartment just answer me and i will give you more details .

With regards, Charles !

Also in the Netherlands, Daphne Torenson daphne.torenson@hotmail.com advertised a nice appartment in Delft on www.kamernet.nl which I guess would be 200 euros to cheap.
The mails above are from 2010, this one is from 2012 with the story going like: the appartment was bought for a studying daughter, whom is finished studying now etc etc.

I checked with the Dutch organisation that registers who owns property and they told me the place was owned by somebody else. https://kadaster-on-line.kadaster.nl/na.asp

Anyway after a few mails:

---------------------------------------------------------
Hi,

This is the address of the apartment : Brabantse Turfmarkt 30 B, 2611 CN Delft
After analyzing all the applications together with my husband we decided that you would be suitable to rent our apartment.
I want to inform you that TNT will hold the money until you will confirm to them that you like the apt and keep the keys. If you don't like it, you only have to return the keys to them after they will refund the money to you and they will deliver the keys back to me on my expense.
I will need to inform you the steps about how this service works and how we can make it happen.You will only have to deposit to TNT Global Agency 1 month of rent + 1 month of warranty ( 380 € + 380 € = 760 € ) so they can proceed with the shipping, and you can receive the keys and the contract.

Like I said, I will pay for a 2 days delivery so you will receive the Keys and the contract signed by me right away. I will explain to you step by step how this will work:
1 - To start this transaction i will need to know your full shipping information, full name, full shipping address to proceed with this deal .
2 - I go to the TNT Office and leave the Keys and the contract in your name as the intended receiver.
3 - TNT will check the envelope to see if everything is OK with it and also the legal papers that will come along with the Keys.
4 - TNT will send you a delivery notification to let you know they have the Keys and the papers in their custody, in which you will be told that they have the Keys and that they checked it.
5 - At this point you will have to make a money transfer deposit on the TNT agent name assigned with this transaction for the amount we agreed.
6 - After you make the deposit you will have to send the infos about the money deposit to TNT (Reference Number, sender's name and address)
7 - TNT will verify the payment information and if everything is in order they will deliver the Keys and the contract to you .
8 - After you receive the package, You will go and check the apt and in 2 days you must contact them and tell them if you keep the apt or not, if everything is in order you will instruct TNT to release the money to me.

Along the keys and the contract, you will also receive a copy of my ID and a copy of the apartment documents that will show that i'm the legit owner of the apartment.

Important ! I will pay for the services of the TNT rental company and you will pay for the Money Transfer fees.

Now i must know for sure if you agree because here are a lot of peoples interested to have this apartment rented and i want to know for sure what i must tell them. If you agree what i suggested i will tell them that my apartment is already rented and i will keep it for you. If you agree then i must have all the shipping details so i will be able to make all the arrangements for the TNT delivery.

Here's mine-- from Portland, OR, February 2012
First email-- received after I responded to the hotpads ad:
"Hello.

My name is Cilicia Morse and I am the owner of the apartment located at 1414 Sw 3rd Ave 2202, Portland OR, 97201 .My asking price is $950 per month (this price includes all taxes and bills). The apartment is very clean and I want to rent it to someone who will be careful and thoughtful.Just to mention few, it includes:Central Heating, Refrigerator, Ironing Board, Good wireless internet Connection, Washing machine, Dishwasher, Microwave Oven, Television with Built-in DVD Player, Coffee Maker, Double Sofabed in Sitting Room, Dining Area, Hairdryer, Internet connection, phone, washing machine with dryer, cable TV and most important a parking place. I am working in France and I am here with my family. For viewing the best would be to reach an agreement and fix a date when I came back in country.
As beeing very busy with my work, time is very important for me, in conclusion no free time to waste. Before booking my plane tickets I would like to be certain about your rent intentions.
If there are any questions please feel free and ask me.
I would also like to know how many persons will occupy the apartment and for how long would like to sign the rent contract. (any pets? cats or dogs?)

Waiting for your response !"

Second email-- received after follow questions were sent:
"Hello .

Yes the apt is partial furnished but all the furniture is in stoarage, I can come anytime to show the flat to you, but first of all I need to be sure you really want to rent it. Last week I was there in New York to meet a potential client and when I got there nobody answered any of my calls. I even paid GBP 480 for the plane ticket and trust me I don't have money to waste. I am requesting only 1st month of rent as deposit $950.About the payment, I would like to receive it monthly into my bank account and I hope there will be no problem for you to wire the money to it because all the bills will be paid directly from my bank account. You only need to receive the keys and the contract so you could check out the apt, and see if you like it and I think that TNT is the best way to finish this deal cause TNT is a third party company, same as UPS or FedEx. It is very popular in France. I will not have access to your money until you have received the contract and keys and will inspect the apt. If you will like the apt and want to rent it you will release the founds to me that simple no complications. And if you will not like the apt you will be fully refunded by TNT and i will receive my keys and rental contract back."

... And that's when I started googling and found this site. Thanks guys!

omg! All of these situations are like reading my current one. luckily I have not yet been robbed but here is the LIAR trying to scam me. He deserves to be listed here so his name or alias can be known. He tried to rent me a place in the City (Perth, Western Australia) and I thought it was great. great price, facilities etc. I let him know I was interetested and he gave me a bit more info but then alarm bells went off in my head with the kind of bonus features like the paid utilities( was great already and was getting too good to be true), I asked about the bond and seeing the place before hand and this email was what I got back.

Hello again,

First of all if you want to rent the apartment you need to pay 1 month of rent + 1 month of warranty ( $600 + $600 = $1200 ) ! ( but that month of warranty you will receive back after you finish the contract ) !
The price is cheap because i want to find a good person who take care of my apartment !
If we decide to proceed with this transaction, I will have to contact DHL and provide them all the necessary information, so they can start the process right away. I will need your full name and address for that. You will receive a notification from DHL shortly after that, together with all the instructions to follow and the invoice as well. Regarding the payment, you will be instructed to deposit the money to a DHL account. They will hold and insure your money until you check the apartment and decide if you want take it or not. That is how their buyer protection policy works. As far as my concerns, I will be glad to know that DHL has the possession of the money during the delivery period. That is my insurance. As soon as the funds have been deposited into their account, they will immediately start the shipping process.
The keys and rental contract will be delivered at your address in no more than 3 working days. You will be given a ten days inspection period from the day you receive the keys and contract at home. If you decide to hold the apartment, then you will have to authorize DHL to release the funds to me, and the transaction will be completed. If you will not be satisfied with the apartment, you will be able to send the keys and contract back through the same service and ask DHL to return the funds to you. Through I am sure you will love the apartment, it is good to know that you do have this second option available. If you wish to proceed with renting the apartment, please provide me your full name and address so I can initiate the deal through DHL right away.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

TNT Holdings tnt's poor service/stolen items in the package

I have a complaint regarding the express delivery services. The parcel that was supposed to be delivered to me (Paranaque City Manila, Philippines) yesterday from Montevideo Uruguay, July 31, 2008 was not delivered due to the loss of a certain item inside the package.
I called TNT Manila, spoke to a customer representative named JUN and told me that the pouch has been slashed and an item has been stolen, specifically the "key ring." I told him that TNT is liable for the lost item. They said that it's under investigation & they want to find out who's liable for it. Who else could be liable but TNT? Isn't this company supposed to deliver parcels SAFELY & ON TIME? If so, then if these cases happen, the company MUST pay for the lost items & be held responsible without making the customers wait or worry anymore. How can you assure your customers of SAFE & FAST delivery when you can't even comply to the customer's needs? I didn't even get an apology for the delay and mishap. I also found out that the sender from Uruguay hasn't been informed yet. I gave his mobile phone number to the customer service representative named JUN and asked him to ask his supervisor or whoever is incharge to call the sender immediately because he sent me an e-mail earlier and he doesn't seem to know what has happened. This is really upsetting & i hope TNT will comply & take utmost responsibilty for what happened. TNT must give the customer a money-back guarantee for the dissatisfaction especially in cases such as these!
Kindly do something about it. I will never stop until this has been resolved. It's not about the value or the cost of the lost item. My point is that, an item has been lost and whatever it is, it is still TNT's responsibility to ensure the safety of their goods and the efficiency of their service. You don't know the value of the lost item to the sender & the receiver & TNT should take responsibility for it.
If you can't recover it, pay for it.
Kindly comply to this e-mail immediately.
Thank you!

TNT Holdings Delayed service

I am expecting a package from US via USPS. It arrived to the Netherlands May 09, 2008, 10:35 am.
The Customs Service of the Netherlands called TNT to pick the package and deliver to the customer (me) on 15th May.
Today is 27th May. The package is still in the Customs Service. I am leaving the country two days later, returning my country. I called TNT, they have not showed any sign of being prompt, instead told me that I have to wait more.
The package will return to US. There are a lot of shipment cost, customs tariff, and most importantly time wasting.

Does TNT Netherlands work good? I dont think so.

Update by TNT-Netherlands's Victim
May 31, 2008 4:56 am EDT

And the final follow-up:

Thanks to persistent efforts of TNT Customer Service Department, I could be able to get my package in the last minute at the airport when I was leaving the Netherlands.

So, TNT did a good job and made the things up finally.

So, I should be enough to admit that TNT tried and succeeded to correct the situation caused by itself.

Cool.

Update by TNT-Netherlands's Victim
May 28, 2008 5:49 am EDT

Just the follow-up of previous incident:

Same day with my complaint, TNT send a mail stating that they will take care of everyting in a few hours.

It did not happen. Indeed, one day later, I got another mail from another guy from TNT, advicing me to talk with their customers service if I have a problem!

For what? To entertain myself? They already knew what was problem, from my previous mail and the tracking number I supplied. All they had to do was, picking my package from the customs service, and bring me!

Then, I understand that TNT is not in cargo business, they just like to talk!

I am forwarding this funny email:

Dear mr TNT-Netherlands's Victim, (I changed it with my name, my nick desribes better)

You have a question about a parcel sent from abroad. I'm sorry to hear that your parcel isn't arrived yet. I will advice you what can be done.
The sender can start an investigation, by fill in an inquiry form. That form can be collected at the local post office.
I apologize for causing any inconvenience. Should you wish to reply or if you have any questions regarding our products or services, please visit our website anytime at: http://klantenservice-voorthuis.tntpost.nl/selfservice/

Please dont anyone fall for this scam and other ones that are on the go. Everytime i get an email about a wonderful prize i have won i always check it out on google, and sure enough people like me leave messages telling us to leave well alone because if you dont you can kiss goodbye to any money you pay out in order to receive these these massive bogus payments.

I received a check in the mail. It stated that we had won a lottery for 250,000.00. All we had to do, of course, was with the check we'd received, which was for $4,850.00, was to go to the bank and deposit it, cash it,..blah blah blah. We needed to send them a check for $2500.00, which would take care of the income taxes on it. Stupidly, I took it to the bank, deposited $2000.00 in checking, $2000.00 in savings, and got cash back of $850.00. My fault that I didn't read the letter that came with it, but my husband said to be looking for a check in the mail and deposit it as said. Well, next thing I know, the bank sends a notice that they'd taken the $4850.00 out of our checking acct., as the check was ALTERED/FICTITIOUS. This was "drawn" off Wells Fargo Bank. NA Minnesota South 206 East Hickory St. Mankato, MN 56001. The check's dated 10/17/2007. What they expect you to do is send the $2500.00 back to them, they close out the so called legal acct. before the check can clear, and they have your $2500.00! These checks look good, as they have a watermark on the back, and other things to fool you. Anyway, I've taken the copy of the check to Sheriff's office, where they've promised to get FBI involved! We'll see. Celia Adams
