PhilPost Bogus Attempted Delivery

“Your item was not delivred successfully(REPUBLIC OF THE PHILIPPINES PHZONE7) at 2013-08-13 08:34:00,” it says on the Chinese EMS tracking website. An attempted delivery was supposedly made on my package from China. Tracking says that the package’s current location is PHZONE7. According to a Philippine EMS Facebook page, PHZONE7 refers to the local post office. Yet when I checked with the local post office in Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur, no such package arrived.

attempted delivery

When I checked the second time, still no package was there. Two days coming out of my work place, and nothing gained — a complete waste of time. Worse, it has been exactly one week since the “attempted delivery,” the package still nowhere in the local post office. And the mail is supposed to be express mail. What the heck are our postmen doing?

I get the tracking information only from the Philippine Post Office’s Chinese counterpart. The PhilPost’s own tracker is of no use: “No records found,” says the website when I enter the tracking number. When I emailed the address Philpost indicated in their website, there’s no reply.

 

Update: August 20, 2013, for the third time I went back to the local post office, and was greeted with same answer. The package was not there yet. I asked the postmaster to inquire with the regional office for the whereabouts of the package, and I was told that the package did not arrive in Davao yet. The package may still be in Manila, the lady postmaster said; give one more week for the package to arrive. May have been due to the weather, they postulated, what with the storms and all. But I was bothered, because the status of the package, per Chinese EMS website, is already for pickup at the local post office. At length, the postmaster asked for my number, so she could personally inform me when my package arrived.

I did not even reach home when I received a text message, saying that my package was in the local post office all along. The package had in fact passed the Davao post office, contrary to the information the regional employee gave. These high-ranking officials are not exactly on top of things, are they? As to why the bulky package had not been found in the local post office, well, it lay hidden in a sack.

  1. So your package was just sitting in their basement since day one? I have the same status for my package right now, I just hope it's on the local post office already. How much did you pay to claim it?

    1. Hello, Mark. The package was forwarded to the nearby city Bislig. I guess from there it took forever to reach my town, which is just next to it. I did receive a reply from Philpost when I emailed ems.cs@philpost.gov.ph , but I received it about a week later. Try sending them an email too, and you may also check with your local post office. I paid P50 to claim the package. That's for the notice card (which I didn't get 'cause I beat them to it), none charged by Customs.

    1. Yes, but not necessarily immediately. Your mail may still be held up in customs. Check in a week or so.

  26. Mine is too. Parcel from Ukraine reached Manila after a few days, then PHZOne7.for 3 weeks. I visited local post office but they hardly open...normally morning from9-10:30, how can they receive parcel from Manila like that kind of working hours.... And of course postman answers my parcel has not arrived. I have called several times and waited for a 4-5min, then when my turn came, the customer service hang up the phone.i thought they hung up by an accident but happened for twice.After that only voice recorder was talking " please leave your message"

    I assumed it was their lunch time... But what I know now is, there is no fixed working hours in Phillpost.

    What I want to know, is , if anyone receive the package after 1 months Or if anyone failed to receive after 2 months ?
