Please get your delivery communication into the 21st century!

I recently had an incredibly frustrating experience with RAM Couriers that highlighted serious flaws in their delivery system. I received a notification that my parcel was out for delivery, but when I asked for an estimated time of arrival (ETA), I was told that they no longer provide ETAs and that I would have to wait from 8 am to 5 pm for delivery. This left me with no option but to block off an entire day of my time, unsure when my parcel would actually arrive.

What’s most disappointing is that in today’s digital world, where even food delivery services like Uber Eats can provide live updates on the location of your order, a reputable courier service handling high-value items like mine can’t do the same. The expectation that customers should just sit around all day, hoping their parcel will arrive at some point within a 9-hour window, is both inefficient and incredibly inconvenient.

For a company like RAM Couriers, which prides itself on being a trusted service, this system feels outdated and out of touch. It's clear that RAM should invest in more modern technology, like live tracking or better communication, to give customers a more transparent and reliable experience. This lack of basic customer service is frustrating and, frankly, unacceptable. I sincerely hope they listen to feedback and make the necessary improvements to avoid wasting customers' time in the future.

I get what you're saying, but I’m sure you can also understand the immense frustration and inconvenience of having to put everything on hold for a whole day, not knowing when an important parcel will actually arrive. If RAM were willing to invest some effort and resources, they could probably find a more efficient and reliable system. But like so many other large companies, it's all about the bottom line, and customers are left to deal with poor and inefficient service.
People have lives, businesses, and incomes to consider, and being left in limbo, waiting for a courier to show up, is completely unacceptable. It’s essentially a “wait and see” situation, with no real guarantee or accountability—and that’s just not good enough.
