Thisbis the 3rd time i am getting disappointed.
Driver didn't attempt delivering item until I go pick it up at service location.
And I think the office covers this shit whenever their drivers misbehave.
One time it was said that I wasn't home for delivery, I asked for the yellow slip that proves they were at my place: nothing to show. I wasn't able to use d cloth for my event.
Same thing repeated itself again
Here we are again today... same thing

These people are so inconvenient, how can you tell me that my package will be delivered yesterday and I call to ask for information and your customer service agent are rude shouting that they can’t question customs as to why my package was not released before 12 pm. You guys don’t understand urgency, if 12 pm is the case I think you should have more dispatches because people have urgent things to complete but because of you incompetence we can’t do. Now I had to change to pickup because you can’t even guarantee that I’ll receive my package even after a whole day delay. Unacceptable for paying over 300 for 1 package and they didn’t seem to care that I was travelling today and needed. Tsk So inconvenient use other couriers.
