Blue Dart News, Updates and User Experiences

Blue dart used to be the market leader a few years ago but I've noticed that most of the deliveries are handled by other courier companies. I must have ordered several products over the last year and blue dart delivered only once !

yep i've noticed that. I guess sellers too know that they suck big time Why would sellers take the blame for a crappy logistics company that doesn't even deliver on time.. Delhivery and GoJavas FTW

nowadays if a seller has written delivery via bluedart, i tried to avoid it whereas earlier i used to prefer them.

FLUKE!

Got a package delivered today.

They initially call to check the address and promise delivery with 1hr
It then took 4 calls and 4hrs off follow-up before I finally got the package

*No big deal compared to others experience

i get a pre delivery call by all the courier companies. Even i had to call them a couple of times just to ensure if they were going to deliver as most of the companies here don't make deliveries in the evening. This was the first good experience i'd say. They need to be persistent like this and stop showing false tracking status.

This is one of the most retarded courier company I have ever seen. I thought to experiment their service for shipping to Mumbai. Whole package was less than 250gm. They charged ₹200. Mailed them. Came to know that their minimum charge is ₹310. Since none bothers to use their service here, they give ₹90 discount.

I would not have bothered if they had delivered on time. They took 3 days to move it to the next hub which is like 35km away. Then another two days for Mumbai. I would not use their service again.

Ps- India Post charges ₹228 for 2kg shipment from my place (around 100KMs from Mangalore) to Delhi.

^More like 110rs discount.

Auch. My bad. ₹110 discount. Don't know what's going on my head when I wrote it.

another frustrating experience today. mi speakers were to arrive today through blue dart. the guy calls me up and tells me that he has been roaming around my sector for a long time but cannot locate my house. asks me if i can come to him instead. i told him to locate the market of my sector and indicated that my house was in a lane behind the market. no use. the guy kept on saying sarr, i would not be able to find it. you please come to the market. fine. what could one do. i went to the market. he also told me that my number was not responding for a long time. i was in the basement of the house so i did not think much into it.

tried calling him to communicate a meeting place. the number just would not get through. took me a while to understand that the guy was using a jio phone so calling him was futile. thankfully the guy called me from another number and i was able to get my package.

what a mess.

incidentally, i asked him if his phone had internet so that i could send him my location. he said. no sir, no internet. blah blah. fucking assholes. i could have sent him my exact coordinates. but apparently, using maps requires a different level of IQ these days.

it's sad that these companies would not add a field for location coordinates as part of the address. plus.codes are designed for exactly this purpose.
