Being a Singaporean for the past 30+ years makes you wonder how has the nation's services assist/helped us.
Singapore Post is our national postal service but it has not lived up to the reputation!
Let me share my experience with TRS Readers:
1.I'd posted a local registered document.
2. Recipent called me to tell me that he did not receive it. Since he had the Registered Article number, he called singpost, and the answer that they gave him was that it was unable to be delivered as the address was missing a Unit number.
3. Fine, the recipent indicated that he would pick it up personally and asked how or where can he retrieve the item.
YOU KNOW WHAT SINGPOST REP SAID?
"Dear Sir, in order for us to retrieve, you need to pay $21.40"
LISTEN GUYS! ITS $21.40 for a local registered document which is less than $3!!!
WHATS THE HELL ARE WE FACING HERE!?
You have the tracking number, and are able to track the letter from the system, but yet Singpost is collecting $21.40 in admin charges!
YOU GUYS ARE HIRING CHEAPER LABOUR FROM OUR NEIGHBOURING COUNTRIES, BUT "ADMIN CHARGES" FOR KEEPING A PARCEL AT THE NEARBY POST OFFICE FOR A DAY OR TWO IS $21.40?
It's not like it is being redelivered, the recipient is going down to the post office to collect it. What kind of 'costs' are involved exactly?
I really feel like they are just grabbing money from us whenever they can!
COME ON ! BOYCOTT SUCH SERVICES AND SYSTEM!
