Online purchase through AliExpress Dedicated Thread

[TechMan]

I don't know WTF is going on these days but I just noticed one of my parcel has status "Delivered to addressee" on 25 May 2018 but it is actually not delivered to me yet. This is the 3rd time it has happened. I wonder if Pakistan Post guys are straight up stealing parcels now or is this some kind of new trick by AliExpress sellers!???

EDIT

After writing the post I noticed another parcel whose status says "Dispatched from District Mail Office Lahore to Delivery Office Green Town"
WTF I don't live in Lahore I live in Karachi and this status is from 27 Apr 2018.

Try to check at your local post office
I order stuff in dha-2 and what happens it that they are short staffed or liars (I intend to call head office)
So they dont deliver to my house and just mark it as delivered so that I can see that status and come at the post office and collect it myself
They say that we mark it so that you come and inquire about the package and collect it yourself as we keep them here till someone collects them

Maybe they are liars that they dont deliver and wait if no one shows up they keep it for themselves or what
But always my packages are there at the post office but I have to collect them myselves each time

Same thing happened with me..
I live in islamabad
And my parcel tracking shows it went to Delivery Office Lahore...

[fmkhan100]

I have launched complain by calling the customer center number of pakistan post, they have given me complain number...
You should also call them and launch complain..

[ahsanonline]

If complaint is not handled correctly, you have option to launch online complaint with wafaqi mohtasib.

After 2 days of launching my complain,, my parcel which went to Lahore, came to my Home in islamabad....

[ahsanonline]

Do tell complaint procedure so all can benefit

[leopard411]

It would have already been on its way, else Pakpost isnt that efficient, neither their customer complaint servive works 24/7, so if we minus Sunday, no power on earth can make pakpost do it so fast and prompt action on complaint.

[TechMan]

This is Pakistan Post call center number 051-4102906. They will ask complete detail such as from where you ordered, when you ordered, product amount, shipping amount, product weight, receiver name, receiver address, receiver phone and then after a few hours you will receive complaint number on your mobile.
Then after 3, 4 days you need to call Pakistan Post again with that complaint number to inquire about status.

Pak Post online complaint procedure.

Simple form is to be filled. That's it.

In most cases, even if goes to wrong city by mistake, it will be sent to correct address eventually. I visited inside few post offices and saw their system, everything is tracked there very properly (better than expected) and such bad cases of theft are just a tiny minority, and commonly over exaggerated in general.

what did you order?.....kindly share link

[TechMan]

This form looks like for local parcels because there is no option to select China as origin. All cities are Pakistani.

Aoa bro. How goes life

If it's a small item, small declaration value, not built in weight or physical size, then they won't open it. Otherwise they do open it and then charge custom duty as per desire.
If any item comes through DHL, for sure DHL people will slap half a dozen surcharges and duties on it.

[xenerking]

WAS...Alhamdolillah, how abt u?

its value is only USD 29 and less than a KG, and being shipped from china thru Singapore Mail, so how does it goes? chances that it will unopened?
