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

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!

Stay away from “speed post service”

I have to send some pics to you guys. Registered post (Speed post: 3 day delivery guaranteed) from India reached here (USA) after 10 days in a very bad condition. This is the third incident from postal service. First two cases I have ignored. Is that why this is happening every time? Tell me to whom I need to contact.
This time it was my College certificates. That was my life. I can’t go every other day (to India) to bring my documents for higher studies.
Do they know the meaning of “CERTIFICATES”? I don’t think so… so Google it..
it was printed over it in bold black capital letters.
How can you guys keep certificates (registered post) with food items?
This is too much you know. So next time I have to search courier service, right?
This is really sad.

THE "SPEED" POST IN INDIA, PARTICULARLY KOLKATA IS A JOKE. Or is there a new dictionary in Kolkata, which mutates the meaning of the word defined in Oxford? They rather name it "SNAIL" post and may even give competition to the regular post in India. They take 10 days to deliver a packet domestically! .

What kind of speed are we talking about? Yeah...Speed at which the tracking data is updated? (Probably never gets updated even after delivery). Or are we talking about the speed at which excuses are given when questioned about the delay...Hmmm...close call though.

Staff at Kolkata is extremely lackadaisical and callous. Not to forget the customs department. They have mastered the art of passing the blame, when questioned, and take pleasure in being completely bereft of responsibility entrusted.

This complaint will go UNHEARD..like all others..

REQUESTING ALL THOSE READING THIS TO KINDLY AVOID USING INDIA EMS SPEED POST. PLEASE PAY EXTRA AND BE SATISFIED WITH OTHER PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS WHO DO A RESPECTABLE AND SATISFACTORY JOB.

I have send a speed post from Tirupati railway station on 21/4/08, an envolop to Hyderabad. Ref no is EN687180565IN. However, it did not reach the addressee and there is no information available on the on-line tracking system. It is disgusting that the speedpost is sent with view to reach faster than my return to Hyderabad on 24/04/08. Please do the needful and let me know by return where this envolop is stuck.

Hi

I am Proteek from Kolkata, working on a development project for which I ordered a kit from Bombay, the same was despatched by speed post on 24th December by speed post and till today ie 31st December I am running around for the same. I have made phone calls everywhere, people at speed post center GPO kolkata said that they are very sorry and are helpless and the only way out is to wait and wait! the government seems to have made a mess out of every department, nothing seems to work smoothly. Till date the package status is shown as " article bagged ". I don't know what the hell that means. The tracking number is EM100888297IN. Can the concerned person please explain to me what does the word 'speed' mean in the term "speed post"

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.

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.

I sent a letter via speed post no. on 22/10/07 morning from Delhi to Mumbai. After four days on checking the delivery status on 26/10/07 evening on the Indian post website I get the following message "Delivery information is not available at present", Please try again later. I hope Speed post lives up to its name. The web site provision to keep track of your speed post seems to be a useless provision. we are still living in the old world when there were no computers.

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.

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.
