Top 5 shipping problems : 😎 |
Delayed Delivery : This is most common shipping problem and happens often. Sometime customers are in hurry due to some upcoming occasion and expect little early delivery than estimated average delivery time. Buyers sometime overlook store’s shipping policy or seller’s review and place order.
Item damaged during shipment : This is also a common shipping problem. This problem happens due to mishandling of items or improper marking on breakable items or fragile items.
Item returned by logistics partner : Due to improper address or negligence of logistics partner people, such things happen. Buyers need to track shipment location to avoid such unexpected incident and contact logistics partner if noticing unnecessary delay.
Shipped at wrong address : Such problems happen very rarely. As courier service people ask to sign before receiving items and recently they are carrying a device to scan parcel’s bar code and they scan ID proof of receiver too. This process drastically reduces such mistakes.
Wrong item delivered : These shipping problems technically should not happen. But still many of us sometime read on newspaper or social media. We also heard that some of those problems happen due to fraudulent acts of courier service people.
