PosLAJU : a dissapointing experience, proposed name change to PosTerlaluLambat

On 13 Jul, I sent thro PosLaju some documents to my relative in Kota Bahru. Guess what happen – they recieved it only on the 17 Jul, 4 days later. These were my emails to them. My first email was on Jul 16, where I show them my trace of the delivery. There was no reply. On Jul 19, I sent another email, saying ” Till today I have yet to receive a reply – do you call this good service to your customer or do you want me to send this to the newspaper so that your boss will respond ?” . I receive 2 replies within the hour.

One of the reply ask me to go to the poslaju office and fill up a form to lodge a complaint – unbelievable and I was shock.  There was no explanation for the delay.  My email with all the details should be sufficient enough  to start a investigation ? This is red tape bureaucracy # 1 .  Minutes later, I received another reply from I supposed a  more senior officer – she apologized and promised an investigation.

All the answers given is standard corporate reply with general statements and it doesn’t really answer my question explaining the delay.  This is ” quality and fast service”  from our National Courier company
