I have request to send my item to nearest post office and the person telling noted they will make arrangement accordingly.

2nd days when i reach home, i received the delivery attempt notice again. I try to Chat and call in 1605 directly. the same answer i get and they inform me will get back to me on the 3 working day?

3rd days the same issue happen again I received the delivery attempt notice. Call in again the person telling me they already make arrangement. I not sure what was the arrangement have be make. If that the is keep sending to my house instead nearest post office? The officer still telling me to wait for working days.

Kindly advice total how many working day that SINGPOST need to divert the item?

I am writing to inform you that very often mails that my family are supposed to receive were delivered to other people. On multiple occasions, a nice neighbor upstairs personally handed us the our mail that was wrongly inserted into their letterbox. We also have an important mail that was ripped open, read and returned to SingPost for reposting.

This has caused us so much inconvenience and I hope that this issue can be improved. This happens in Teck Whye Lane where I live.

Thank you.

Dear Mr Mayank Singh,

I'm very disappointed with your service. I want to raise this concern and complain regarding this matter to your administration.

I am home last 24 February 2022 at 12:41 pm. I was home all day and nobody rang the bell.

I did not receive any call, message, email or information from your office regarding the delivery date.

I did not receive any call, message, email or information as your claim for the unsuccessful delivery.

I did not receive any information about where can I get the package from your office here in Belgium.

You have decided to dispatch and return the package without my knowledge. You did not even make a second attempt of delivery from 24 February 2022 until 9 March 2022. You did not even inform me of the whereabouts of my package since you are claiming that it was unsuccessful delivery.

I could even go to your office here in Belgium. But there were no instructions or information given to me in order to get my package before you returned and dispatched the package back to Singapore.

According to the Terms and Conditions from SingPost 3.4

ii. Speedpost Standard and Singpost Economy SingPost will make door-step delivery of the parcel up to maximum of two re-attempts, afterwhich the Parcel will be returned to the sender.

I have been following up and kept on tracking my package all the time. I even wonder why the delivery service was so slow and delayed. Based on the tracking states that it was sent to the Post Office at Macpherson Road, office last 6 October 2021 and departed from Singapore Hub for Transit to Overseas Destination by 21 October 2021 by Speedpost Service Centre. I have emailed you and other staff from customer services last 19 January 2022 for follow up and I have even received an email from you stating that it was only dispatched from Singapore to Belgium, last 30 December 2021 and I have to wait, which I did. I don't even question you about the inaccurate tracking status and why the package was dispatched and delayed from October and moved to December.

I have waited for this package for 5 months and this is what I get from you. The sender, Ms Janice Jill Francisco, my friend is not residing in Singapore anymore. Please do something to deliver my package for it was not my fault and it was yours.

I am looking forward to receiving my package even it will take a longer time.

Best Regards,

Marnie Managuit

I’m writing this letter to express my disappointment when SingPost. I am very distressed with the service rendered by SingPost.

Not a single form of contact was made by SingPost to highlight to me that my address was incomplete & that the package couldn’t reach to its destination.

I tracked my parcel online and at that point of time, it merely said pending deliver status. I had to place calls to only find out that parcels is with SingPost Center due to incomplete address (1/03/22). At first I was very pleased with customer service staff who handled the case. She’s been very professional throughout and assist me with the issue.

It took SingPost 3 days (03/03/22) to literally do nothing about my parcel. Nothings been done for the past 3 days. SingPost called, mainly just to inform me of the delivery issue (which I have already known and spoken to) and that they’ll do something about it and keep me in the loop the next couple of days.

There’s no follow up calls ever since. I had to check online again to only find out that the items are already on the way back to Hong Kong.

Now it’s going to take another month for it to be delivered back to SG. On top of that, despite all the lack of updates and communication from SingPost; I had to front additional shipping cost.

My Amazon Package was supposed to deliver on 21 Feb to office address, and without calling me, from the tracking record, it showed a failed delivery attempt as office is closed at 6:31pm. Parcel out for delivery again, this time I waited at office reception area till 7:40pm, then saw the tracking record, failed delivery attempt at 7:27pm as office is closed. They did not even come to the office, I have also checked with building security, no courier / Singpost came at that time. I filed a complaint through SingPost website on 22 Feb night but only received an automated email. On 23 Feb morning, since nobody from SingPost return my call, I called SingPost customer care and told them to arrange for delivery by 23 Feb 5:30pm. I called at 3:30pm, customer care said courier never respond. I called again at 4:30pm, then customer care said that courier is unable to deliver till to overwhelming delivery (well! SingPost, if you cannot handle the bulk delivery, please employ more staffs). We customers who ordered online are at SingPost mercy, praying hard my item will arrive tomorrow before 11am.

Delivery attempt was made, without any advance notice, during office hours (Mon to Fri) when no one is at home. When I contacted SingPost via chat, I was told to wait for the next delivery or self-collect as there is no way I can arrange receipt or leave instructions for the parcel to be left somewhere.

Why is so much time and resources wasted when all it takes is a simple advance notification or provision that can be made to arrange receipt? There will definitely be another 2 failed delivery attempts and parcel will get sent back to e-commerce entity sending it.

I understand that arrangement for receipt can be made with SpeedPost but not ePac. Why?

Hi Team,

We sent some old books to the Philippines on 23 Nov 2021 and declared the value and also included a contact number for the recipient.

The parcel never arrived at the immigration Destination hub till 14 Jan 2022.
Till then I have called up several times to check on the status of the books but each time I was advised that there will be an agent contacting me, but non did.

It is very tiring and troublesome to keep calling and then be left in the dark with no clues, or follow up action.

The books were for a simple 9 year old boy, with very little and he was looking forward to his Christmas gift, but till now never received it. He is very disappointed and sad that the books never arrived at his destination.

This is very very disappointing . Hope Singpost can look into this matter with importance. Thanks.

I had arranged a parcel to be airfreighted to the USA. The Parcel was collected on the 4 Jan, 2021. SpeedPost had estimated the delivery will be between 5-7 days to reached its destination. I did the payment for the shipment.

On the 11 Jan, we called up their customer service, and shocked to find out that they did not uplift my parcel due to some issue. The parcel was still in their Hub. So, I asked her why didn't anyone informed us on this issue? She cannot reply and did not give any definite answer. Her name is Ika. That was the first CS I spoken to. She said she will update us soon. There was no update at all. Next day, we called and another CS took the call and repeated the same to us. They even said that the parcel will be returned back to us. When I asked when, she said she do not know. Her name was Sasha. In the afternoon, we called to check on our parcel to be returned, but this time another CS took the call. She did not informed that the previous CS did not do any actions on her part and this CS, Ida had to escalate and check the returned delivery. She also mentioned that she will update us again. I called again in the late afternoon since the CS did not call, this time was another CS, Parvean. Now, this lady told me that she had arranged a Manager to call us before 8pm that evening. There was no call from that Manager at all.

I had gone thru 4 Customer service agents and none can resolve the issue of my 6kg parcel. All of them said the same sentences as their been asked to say. Ï'm sorry". It was stranded in the HUB and until today was not returned to us as yet. Being Singapore Post, where is the efficiency of the standards they so called being the best. Their service totally unacceptable and not professional at all.

The sad truth is being unprofessional, the Manager did not keep his promise to call us back which lack in the integrity of the so called Manager of the Singapore Post.

Hi Sir, I ordered an SingPost Shop philatelic order #[protected] worth SGD69.20 include postage to Malaysia. The parcel tracking ID was RA649230822SG. Sadly the parcel was lost in Malaysia after custom inspection. Since then I contacted and follow up with Singpost Shop, Singpost Customer Services for registered mail and finally Singpost Claim. Many tickets were opened and all enquiries were replied with professional messages but it took months for me to receive the message that I can not claim for the lost parcel but only the Sender (SingPost Shop) can do it.
I attached the some of the information in attachment.

Dear Sir/Ma'am,

This is to inform you that we send one parcel to Singapore on 19th Aug.2021 from South Korea but receiver didn't receive the call for the shipment. Once we called Singapore Post for the details they said address was wrong. Singapore post receive the shipment on 15th oct21 but they didn't call to receiver for shipment. We contacted them from 8th Nov.21 via call or mail but did not get the satisfactorily reply. SingPost said that courier sent back to Korea but in the tracking details its shown in Singapore Only. Please help us to deliver the parcel on below mentioned details as it is very important parcel for the receiver. Receiver details are mentioned below:
Name- Gyuri kim
Contact No- +[protected]
Address- 51, HILLVIEW HILLINGTON GREEN
#07-02, S)669565
Singapore
This is the new address of receiver she shifted there on 15th Nov.21
Earlier we provided the address:
Name- Gyuri kim
Contact No- +[protected]
Address- 25, HAZEL PARK TERRACE #03-11,
Singapore
Postal Code- 678948
but Singpost said address is wrong even they did not call to Customer also. I would request to you that please send this parcel to receiver as soon as possible. Now Sender is in India nobody is available in South Korea. Please help. Mails are attached for your reference you can also trace it. Today also I asked Customer Service Executive for share the evidence for courier is return back she said they don't share evidence. I request her to raise this matter to higher authority she denied. Please help. Only you can help us for the same. I am unable to attach the copies of email.

On 8/11/2021 I went to the Sing Post at Bukit Batok Central Post Office to apply for P.O.Box to have my mail redirected into this box.
I was told to pay $96.30 for the rental of the box and also to pay another $89.10 for 3 mths redirecting service. The service will start only on 11/11/21.
Everything seems well but unfortunately on 10/11/21 when I approach my bank, insurance company, credit card service and was told that we are not allowed to send to P.O.Box. Now my question is, why was I not told, I would expect the staff to tell me these companies do not allow us to use this service. As you are well aware that I am a senior citizen, surely we are not updated and it is your front line people who should advise us what to do, instead they kept quiet about it and all they want me to do is to make the payment that's all.
Today on 11/11/21 I went to the Post Office again to inform them to redirect my mail to another address instead of P.O.Box and I was again to make another payment of the same amount again.
I have not even use the box yet and my hard earned money is forfeited. I think this is not fair to me, it is not my fault as your staff did not inform me and I paid it innocently. I wish to request for a refund as this not fair to a senior citizen and this only happen 2 days ago.
Please review and refund me some money as I am a retiree and the money is very important to me. Thanks

My parcel was mail from thailand on 9 Sept, on 11 Sept the parcel safely reached Singapore, on 23 Sept tracking said unsuccessfully deliver, few days later told me parcel lost at the singpost warehouse, such a big parcel can be lost in the warehouse? No cctv? The item inside the parcel is very important to me. Inside the warehouse got thief? How to trust singpost? How can it lost in the warehouse? No security at all?

After waiting fir two weeks no update, finally they said they going to send my item to me .

Postage fees expensive but system lousy . 1605 also shorthanded .
A goverment post centre like this really a shame .
i have informed them i will be at home with the door open .
let's see if this delivety will end up as failed delivery or item losted in warehouse .
If my item still undeliver or losted, you better help me check with ICA .
i remember 2019 there was this news report aboit item held by ICA because of taxes issues and declared as losted .

My tracking number: rb146070425sg.
It has been almost 16 days after despatching from singapore. Till now my status showing "arriving to the destination country". How many days still I need to wait for my parcel?. But my one parcel arrived within 14 days.
And one of my friend whose parcel is dispatched after me reached the destination.
Whether my parcel is lost in the transit?
When can I get my parcel? Please I need a transparent tracking information..

I was recieved a prompt last 8th of Oct. 2021 In my online apps that my 1st item will be attempt to deliver on that day onwards but recieved Unsuccessfull delivery attempt on the next day and will deliver on the next other days.
My 2nd order from online apps was recieved a prompt 11th of Oct. 2021 to attempt to deliver and recieved unsuccessfull delivery attempt and will deliver on the nextday onwards in my apps.
Today 13th Oct. 2021 i recieved my 2nd order in my letter box and trying to call the customer service to ask about the status for my 1st order but no one istaking my call. Is this mean my first order was missing?
Please lah...so dissapointing. How to know early if my item really still holding by Singpost normally your side will leave a small letter for me to collect it at Singpost near my area. I did try to use there tracking website also useless..Normally if i need to collect my order at Singpost

My 1st order:
Tracking #: SPSGCNOO7793620
Order #: [protected]

I have received an attempt to deliver notification from my phone went outside and nobody is around and no delivery notification letter. He will always do this and even reach to 3 attempts. There are people in the house he just have to knock.
There was a time whereby I did bot receive my parcel and and singpost was not able to track. He should have the items as the tracking number in the paper and my item tallies.
