Please all be aware that the ARAMEX agent for GOA is not reliable.
I have myself been waiting 2 weeks for 2 parcels from eBay sellers, only to find they have used ARAMEX.. so the parcels have not been delivered.
Please do not use ARAMEX for GOA customers. As your buyer will not receive the parcel within eBays time limits and your payment will be refunded to the buyer.
I have called the Aramex contact in Delhi and on 3rd attempt was given the GOA contact details (0832-6451116), the agent informed me they had no service for my area and had sent parcel to wrong address.
If indoubt, please use INDIA POST/SPEED POST OR DTDC as I have had great experience with them both.
Ya, I had the same experiance with ARAMAX a few months ago, My Goa parcels were not delivered and after repeatedly contacting ccare foir 2 weeks , I got them delivered
ARAMAX is bad
I found the Goa office today in Mercer village (big sign, small shop). 3KG of NH17 outside Panjim.
They had no answers as to why they never called me in 11 days - when my phone number was clearly there on parcels.
They said my area was a NO Service area...they cover Mapusa and Calangute, but not the road linking the two...My road!!!
They told me they were just about to send the parcels back to Delhi..easier to call me surely?
There is nothing wrong with India Speed Post guys...I use it every day and have had very few problems within India or shipping International.
Lets campaign for eBay to get us discounts and pick up from India Post. eBay International sites have link ups with the national post office, why cant we?
I use India Post only for both national and International shipments. For national I use Speed Post and for Internationl shipments I use Registered Airmail. It is cheapest of all and with very few (1%) delivery issues.
I don't think India Post will ever agree for a pick-up service.
