India Post Updates

speedpost is great. but if your local post office is useless or postman is an asshole... it is as good as useless.
 
Indiapost in my area is exceptional.
Postwoman takes the extra mile to ensure deliveries and very helpful.
 
my postman could be more helpful but hard to blame him when government has not even provided him with a scooter or bike. he has to travel long distances on a bicycle.

one package of mine had incomplete address. it had my mobile number. no one bothered to call me (which is expected though). i asked postman to check at the post office. he was not much interested.

i tried to get information through indiapost twitter account. i was informed that address was incomplete so it was not delivered. they gave me an email address to send id proof info along with tracking number. that sort of worked as package arrived after a few days.

india post basically kept on shifting that package between delhi and gurgaon several times during the process. when they could have just called the mobile number on the package and get full address. courier companies would do that. india post didn't.
 
The Central Government has proposed empowering post offices employees to open or detain any item during transmission in the interest of national security or public safety.
Another provision says the Post Office and its officers shall be exempt from any liability by reason of any loss, misdelivery, delay or damage in course of any service provided by it. “No officer of the Post Office shall incur any liability with regard to a service provided by the Post Office, unless the officer has acted fraudulently or wilfully caused loss, delay or misdelivery of service,” it said.
The bill has a provision related with recovery of sums due in respect of services provided by the Post Office. “Every person who avails a service provided by the Post Office shall be liable to pay the charges in respect of such service. If any person refuses or neglects to pay the charges, such amount shall be recoverable as if it were an arrear of land revenue due from him,” it said.
