I was expecting parcel from eBay but that would have come through ordinary post. So this made me wonder what was it. A search on few mails revealed that it was BlueDart. Tracking ascertained it. Tracking showed that the shipment was returned since I wasn't at home.
When I was browsing their site, there was a link for complaints. I quickly drafted a small note about the incident and went to sleep. Meera saw me doing it and made fun of me.
I got up somewhere early in morning and as usual checked the mail before sleeping again. To my surprise, there was a mail from Peter from Blue Dart. He is Asst.Manager–Customer services for Blue Dart.

Cool! I like human support responses and this was exactly that.
Next day morning the delivery boy called me. From his tone, I could feel that he has got some thrashing. Peter later called up and discussed the issue. The delivery boy had told him that the slip was left But I confirmed that it wasn't. Peter was going to follow up. However, I advised him to let it go since I had received the delivery by now.
This was unusual experience and much appreciated. I have pretty bad experiences with different vendors and such good exceptions always bring a smile.
Good work Blue Dart team. Keep it up!
