un pensamiento para ti...

"He aprendido que todo el mundo quiere vivir en la cima de la montaña, sin saber que la verdadera felicidad está en la forma de subir la escarpada. He aprendido que cuando un recién nacido aprieta con su pequeño puño, por vez primera, el dedo de su padre, lo tiene atrapado para siempre. He aprendido que un hombre sólo tiene derecho a mirar a otro hacia abajo, cuando ha de ayudarle a levantarse..."

~ Gabriel Garcia Marquez


absolutely horrible service

How can I complain? They are after all the ONLY postal service provider in the whole of Singapore.

But it's still shocking that such blatantly appalling services still exists in these huge companies...

I recently purchased a large item from the UK on behalf of my organization. Because the items cost too much, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority detained my items, sending me a letter to inform me that I needed to pay GST, and that I needed to do many things to clear the ICA.

Since this was the first time I encountered such a thing I naturally had lots of burning questions. So, I called Singpost. In the 3 times I called Singpost, this was what I got:

(Phone gets picked up)

(Silence on the other line)

Me: Hello?

Singpost: Yes....? (uninterested, boring voice)

Me: Uh... Is this Singpost?

Singpost: Yes...? (still uninterested and boring voice)

This same conversation repeated itself each time I called Singpost. I mean, at least have the decency to say "Hello Singpost" the moment you pick up the phone and identify yourself!!

Then, I requested for some documents to be sent to my office as I needed them for an advance claim in order to PAY them. I mean, at least have the decency to call me to inform me that you are sending a fax over! Then at least have the decency to give me a call to check if I have received them!! No news, no nothing. And at least have the decency to write "Attn:..." on the documents! Man!! Even a poor VWO like mine knows that we need to use a cover page stating who the fax is addressed to, who sent them, how many pages are in the fax and what are the contents! Nothing of that sort whatsoever!! If I hadn't by chance one day walked past the fax machine and saw a funny document lying in the rough paper tray, I would not have even known of its existence!!!

Then when I called Singpost again about the fax and what I should do next, no one seemed to know anything about my case, didn;t even bother to ask about the serial number of my receipt and or offer to check for me.

What kind of bloody service is Singpost providing??? I wrote a complaint to them on this, and I think I was quite factual on the message but no reply from them also.

Some gracious society we are. No decency at all.
