The courier didn't arrive. EMS Russian Post

In the crazy rhythm of Moscow life, you can only find time to go shopping for “clothes” on weekends. And, judging by the crowd in stores and the crazy queues in fitting rooms, it’s not just me. After several hours of such shopping, disgust for him for six months in advance is guaranteed.

It was still under New Year— I had to buy a dress for the holidays. I was already mentally preparing to choose an outfit in the pre-holiday crowd when I was advised to look into the online store Wildberries.ru. I took the advice cautiously: I had no experience of buying clothes online before, and moreover, before I was absolutely sure that you should only go to traditional stores for clothes. shopping centers. After all, you want to touch the thing, try it on, turn around in front of the mirror...

But, as it turned out, at Wildberries.ru all our women’s requests are provided for: the courier delivers the order to your home and waits patiently in the corridor while the client tries on the delivered clothes. It is clear that it is better to order clothes in several sizes at once and choose yours from them on the spot. Items that don't fit or that you simply don't like can be returned to the courier. Moreover, delivery is free. The only caveat is that if you don’t like anything and give everything back, you still have to pay 200 rubles for leaving. In my opinion, the condition is reasonable.

So, having found out these important details for me, I started looking for a dress on Wildberries.ru. This stage fascinated me very much: the site presents 20 dresses on 57 pages! I simply “drowned” in them, and I must admit, not without pleasure. I ordered several options from those that were listed in the store as “in stock” - this means that such an order will be delivered in literally 1-2 days. Everything was delivered at the promised time. After trying on, I bought a couple of dresses and returned the rest to the courier.

Among the minuses, I can note the following: the once possible delivery of an order on Saturday is now canceled, which is not very convenient for working women - the time interval for the arrival of the courier in Wildberries.ru is defined very widely (from 10 to 17 o'clock), there is no evening delivery, which means accept it without leaving “the machine,” i.e., the workplace. It is clear that not all offices have the necessary conditions for this (large mirror and all that).

Despite such little things, after a couple of orders from Wildberries.ru I remained favorably disposed towards them and have already signed myself up for regular customers online store.

For the May holidays, a sister from another city came to visit us. When planning an entertainment program for three days, we really didn’t want to squeeze a trip to the shops into it. Therefore, ordering from Wildberries.ru seemed like the best solution to me.

After placing the order, they immediately called me and promised delivery on May 3rd. The courier's arrival time was determined to be from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. I really didn’t want to be “tied” to the house all day, so I asked if it was possible to shorten the interval. They met me halfway and assured me that we would receive our order from 10 to 15 o'clock. I was glad that I managed to “knock out” a couple of free hours and even secretly hoped that the courier would arrive in the first half of the day.

The 3rd of May arrived. In order to receive the order, we planned to spend up to 15 hours at home. When it was already 14:55, I couldn’t stand it, I called Wildberries.ru and asked the delivery service if they would have time to bring us the order in the remaining 5 minutes before the promised time expired. The polite girl assured me that she would immediately call “our” courier and call back. After waiting about 20 minutes for the call back, I couldn’t stand it again and dialed Wildberries.ru. I was connected to the same manager. She was very surprised by my call: “Oh, what, the courier didn’t call you back?” According to her, this courier was with another client and it was inconvenient for him to talk, but he promised that when he was free, he would immediately call me back. He also managed to say that “he will definitely deliver the order before 5 p.m.” I didn’t like that the stated delivery time “until 15” smoothly turned into a promise “until 17 exactly”.

I would like to note that the girl from the delivery service verbally empathized with me very much, agreed with me and scolded the careless courier in every possible way. Although, of course, this did little to reassure me.

About half an hour passed, no one called back again, and I once again called myself. This time the manager I knew was busy, another girl from the delivery service answered. The conversation was funny:

- What, are you also waiting for this courier?

- Probably yes, but what, is there already a queue there?

You know, we haven’t been able to reach him since the morning... But as soon as we get through to him, we’ll call you right back!

This was becoming completely unfunny. I began to insist on some kind of compensation and asked that, as an apology, they would not charge me for delivery (let me remind you: if you don’t like or fit any of the clothes brought, you can refuse them by paying 200 rubles for the courier’s departure ). The answer was:

- This is impossible, our delivery is already free, but if you still do not accept the order, you can mark in the documents that you refused to pay for delivery. And we will deal with this ourselves.

This option seemed a little risky, because the story with the courier could be forgotten or lost, and I could easily end up on the list of “non-paying” clients. But still, they convinced me that I was in no danger, and persuaded me to wait until 17:00 for my order.

As you can guess, at 17:00 we still didn’t have the courier, and again no one thought to call back to warn, apologize, ask to reschedule the order to another day, or do at least something to reassure our dear client.

At 5:20 p.m., when we, having had a light slurp, went for a walk, the long-awaited bell rang! The courier called! He deigned to inform us that he was coming to us! When I asked why he was only leaving now, and not at 3 p.m., as promised, he stated that he “only received the register half an hour ago” and didn’t know anything. This completely pissed me off, I told him in harsh terms everything I thought about him and sent him to sort out this situation with his managers.

At 17:40 the phone rang again! The first thing that occurred to me was that they were calling from Wildberries.ru with an apology, but no - it was again the courier, who kindly said: “We will come to you in 10 minutes.”

With such a statement, he greatly shocked us - why is he coming, if during the conversation I sent him to hell and in general - why “we? Who is he coming to us with? With an assistant? Indeed, 3 bags of summer trousers are such a burden that one cannot cope.

I was confused and said that if they were going, let them go. It's his job to visit clients.

Next is an oil painting. We were just leaving the store near our house when we saw two young men in hoods who approached our entrance and began calling on the intercom. Without waiting for an answer, they dialed my phone number. Our dialogue:

- We are calling you, open the door.

— And you were supposed to deliver the order before 15 o’clock? Now we are no longer at home.

“You said you’d be home!”

- No, I didn’t say that.

- No, they said.

It remains a mystery where the courier has been all day? Judging by his spectacular appearance in the company of a second young man, probably a friend, and arrogant behavior, bad suspicions creep in that they were walking somewhere and drinking beer, at the same time fooling their employees and clients. Considering holidays, this seems to be a very likely scenario.

For now, I’m wondering whether to forgive Wildberries.ru this negative experience? On the one hand, in any herd there is a black sheep (I’m talking about the courier, of course). But on the other hand, the managers did not try to rectify the situation in any way - at least it was not noticeable to me. They themselves never called me back, did not warn me about the delay in delivery (which is in good form in online stores), and didn’t even apologize - which is especially offensive.

In general, if you can advise good internet-clothing store - write, I will be glad to go to competitors Wildberries.ru if they turn out to be more worthy!

P.S. I wrote about my disappointment in Wildberries.ru on Twitter. A few days later, I received a response from an employee of the online store: he asked me for my order number and promised to transfer all the information to the delivery service and deal with the couriers. It's funny: the delivery service knew about everything. And she didn't do anything. But I’ll wait, maybe there will be a continuation? Then I will definitely write a continuation of the story.

In general, judging by the reaction to my post on Twitter, Wildberries.ru monitors customer reviews and tries to neutralize the negativity about their brand on the Internet. This makes us happy and gives us some hope that such situations will not happen again.

The courier ordering stage went well. At first they told me that the courier would arrive today, I specifically clarified it. At the end of the conversation it turned out that the courier would arrive tomorrow. Then I asked to rewrite the address because...

Show in full

It would be dishonest if I didn't write another review. This time it's not so rosy.

The courier ordering stage went well. At first they told me that the courier would arrive today, I specifically clarified it. At the end of the conversation it turned out that the courier would arrive tomorrow. Then I asked to rewrite the address, because tomorrow I would have to spend in another apartment. My order was cancelled! And they asked to make a new one. OK. I dictated all the data again, entered a new address - and they told me that the courier would arrive today! Well, what kind of insanity?

In the end, she still asked to send the courier to a new address, but tomorrow.

He had to arrive before seven. And call ahead. At about five o'clock I decided to go for a walk, not far away, to run some errands. At seven six I decided to find out if the courier was going to arrive at all. The girl on the phone notified me that he would arrive. Fine.

At seven I called the office again. She said that even if the courier arrives before seven, he will not call in advance. Because it's already seven. The girl didn't care at all.

As a result, five minutes later the courier calls me. I'm at your door.

Great, and I'm a 20 minute walk from these doors.

The courier rather impolitely informed me that he did not intend to wait.

I was so confused that I even told him I’ll try to run in 10 minutes.

What a twist! Probably, I should have stopped freaking out and hung up, but for some reason I began to explain to him that I was on Mayakovskaya, and I needed to get to Belorusskaya, it wouldn’t take long, but he interrupted me and said: in short, let’s do it tomorrow.

This is an urgent order, by the way. Which ideally should have been in St. Petersburg tomorrow.

In general, we agreed on tomorrow, but what should we do? I asked the courier to come in the morning. And call ahead.

He said: I will write this on the order, but it’s none of my business.

As a result, at about 12 the next day the courier called me and asked if he should come in the evening? I almost shouted at the phone: no, in the morning! The courier, apparently, sensed a note of panic in my voice and was with us half an hour after the conversation.

In short, we got on each other’s nerves with EMS.

At the end of July I installed home Internet from Beeline, everything was connected quickly enough, the speed is good, no problems. In August from the operator's employees cellular communication proposals began to come in - to switch to the “all in one” tariff; after thinking for a week, it was decided to connect. The employees talked about the advantages, saying that even the statistical IP address that I was connected to would be included in this tariff. I informed the call center about this when I was about to transfer to you completely... the employees initially said that this was impossible, but after conversations - they say, listen to the recordings, they told me that I should connect this service to maximum term- a year, with the possibility of extension, otherwise I’ll suddenly leave, okay, this is already pleasing - you take responsibility for the words of your employees. This is great!

I call a lot, choose a tariff for 1801 rubles - a meeting is scheduled for August 31, 2016 with the courier from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Moscow time. The courier didn't arrive. I called around 2:40 p.m. and said, where is the courier? They say that they will pass my message on to the person in charge of the courier service and they will contact me... Okay, I think, well, it happens. It's 17-50 - I call again, they said that they will contact me within 15-20 minutes (soon!). Okay, but I still haven't received a call.

I call the call center again at about 19:00, I get to Yulia No. 52872 (the conversation took place around 18-45) - it would be better not to call. She couldn't answer my questions, she said that Courier service It has nothing to do with Beeline at all that the work schedule of the person responsible for couriers is state-owned and they will contact me within 24 hours! He doesn’t want to connect me with a senior specialist, he constantly interrupts me... that’s what I’m thinking... I spoke quite politely and patiently in my turn.

Conclusions:
1) I wanted to start using Beeline services today mobile communications- the courier didn’t arrive, why offer good services if you can’t organize normal delivery?
2) I spent the whole day sitting at home waiting for the courier, I didn’t receive any calls from Beeline.. Thank you for my wasted time)
3) The person responsible for couriers never called back, so why not - let the person sit on standby as long as he wants.
4) The operator doesn’t even understand what she did, this is the first time I’ve encountered someone asking to speak to a senior specialist - and the operator hangs up. This is not a “hot summer with Beeline”.

Overall, I give it an overall “3” - to be honest, you have very polite employees and very good home Internet, but here’s the case: I haven’t started using mobile services yet, and already such problems, frankly, hint at the idea, What will be next.
