I'm a blog owner and an avid online shopper too. Recently i bought a pair of pants from this blog shop. It was light enough to be fitted into a pos ekspress envelope so after payment is made and all, i waited in anticipation for my pants to arrive.
2 days later, i happen to be in front of my house when i bump into the postman. He was not making a stop at my place but rather look like "he saw me so he reverse back" to enquire.
Postman: "Eh Cik, ini you ke? xxxxx (my name)
Me: (Seeing my name on the parcel) Ah, ya, thanks ar!
It was that pants i bought. Thank God the postman was kind enough to reverse and ask me just in case it was mine. The address was written wrongly (missing letters!!) and shabbily (like scribbled with short forms all over!) The only correct thing was my name and she only wrote the first name despite me giving her my full name okay.
When i opened the envelope, i saw even the reference paper was left inside and unfilled. Clearly she didn't intend to keep that copy for reference. For those who have no idea, each pos ekspress envelope comes with a reference paper which the sender has to keep in case the parcel goes missing and you wanna track and its proof you actually sent it. I was really upset with blog owners like these, they just earn your money and don't bother what happens to your parcel. Assuming that postman felt lazy and don't bother asking me, i would have lost my parcel and totally untraceable since the the seller obviously wasn't interested in the outcome of it anyway!
I never go back to that shop even though reviewer's can't stop highlighting them every time they update. Sad. So beware people.

skip for the handwriting thing.
ReplyDeletebut as for the "reference paper" it's actually not a real reference paper as it's just simply paper with postcode in part of the Malaysia some sort of thing if i'm not mistaken.
the actual tracking number is right in front of the envelope, long white, small sticker.
lol
yup, agree with anonymous. its only a postcode paper. the tracking number is in yellow sticker, in front ot the envelope. won't be any problem with that, i think.
ReplyDeleteSome people NEED to learn something new everyday.
ReplyDeleteI have a file which I stick the yellow stickers on for ref. That 'reference' paper is useless.
can i know which shop is that? thanks...fionatg[at]gmail.com
ReplyDeleteyeah.. that reference paper is a waste of trees actually.. but the real use for the papaer is actually if your parcel gets delayed from the posting period, you can redeem a free post express parcel. =)
ReplyDeletecan i know which blogshop is this? thanks!

Yeap, you need to get your facts right. That not is how pos express woks, that paper is USELESS. The tracking code is right in front and most sellers will keep the yellow sticker and only that.
ReplyDeleteGet over it~
Ouch!
ReplyDeleteI usually left the reference paper in the parcel itself. Got tonnes of it already! So, maybe..just maybe it's useful for the other side :D
Hey all, I'm the writer of this post. As mentioned, i am a blog owner as well so i do know how pos ekspress works. Most may just peel off that yellow label and keep/paste in their own tracking book or something, while others paste it on that paper for keeps. Both ways work the same. But this blog shop didn't even peel that yellow label from the front la, so if the parcel went missing, how am i suppose to trace it since she doesn't even have the tracking code at all?? Anyway, i'm just glad i got my pants.
ReplyDeleteOh my..glad the postman is hardworking though..
