disappointed with Singpost
went to view our new office yesterday. we are scheduled to shift on either end of this month or beginning of next month. the office is much bigger as compared to the current one as the entire floor is dedicated to only the work stations and nothing else. however, i still felt that it was a tad cramped, and there are far too many indivdual rooms than really needed, so these took up some spaces too. the setting of the work desks are such where one will be sitting next to each other, which i find there will be lesser privacy for all. i still prefer our current work stations as one is situated quite a few distance from another. plus, i prefer how they looked too.
fyi, we always have incoming shipment from our main production site, Switzerland every week.
anyway, today around 10+, i received a call from Singpost regarding our shipment. it turns out that our carton was torn and our items inside have come out of it. normally, they will send the parcel over, but this time round if they do so, it is an assumption that we have accepted and no compensation will be given should you later found that some of your items are missing.
we asked them to shoot some photos and email us for reference before we decided whether or not to make a trip.
but at that pt, i was already thinking that it must have been really bad, as usually even if there are some tore at the corner, they will just send over to us without informing.
true enough when i saw the photos that they sent, i was like.. "omg.. are you sure that was my shipment?" the carton was damaged beyond redemption!!! ('exclusive' photos below)
hence, we have no choice but to go to Paya Lebar Post office personally and check on the items, one by one.fortunately, none of the items were missing, which i find it quite amazing, as the carton was totally damaged, and the remains looked just like plain old junk.
sincerely hope that Swisspost and Singpost will take further care into shipping our items as this isn't the first time it happens, only that this time round, it was the worst.
