Kaki Shopping

After waiting for a week without any sign of a parcel from StrawberryNET, I decided to track my parcel online. This would also give me a chance to check out the parcel tracking system for StrawberryNET (one thing about online orders that keeps me coming back for more is the fact that I am able to track my orders. Well, some sites offer them but some don’t). I entered my order number under the Shipment Status section in the site and that brought me to a page detailing when the order was received and when it was shipped. It also provided me with a tracking reference number with a Details button.

I clicked on the Details button and that took me to the mail tracking page of Hongkong Post (StrawberryNET is a Hong Kong based company). Apparently the parcel was already shipped out on January 10th. I was then instructed to select the destination country for further tracking. Upon selecting Malaysia, I was rerouted to our very own Pos Malaysia site’s Track & Trace section. Since I knew this was a registered parcel, I clicked on PosDaftar, and keyed in my reference number. This in turn provided me with a local tracking ID, and when I clicked on this ID, I learnt that the parcel had already arrived at Cawangan Serahan Bayan Lepas on January 15th.

That’s weird. That’s a whole one week ago and I have not received it yet. So yesterday I obtained the number for the Cawangan Serahan Bayan Lepas from the Pos Malaysia site and called them. It was actually the number for the Bayan Lepas post office that I called, so the guy on the line gave me another number to dial for the Cawangan Serahan. I don’t know why they could not redirect my call. Maybe Pos Malaysia phone lines don’t work that way.

Anyways, I called up and provided the tracking number and the guy informed me that the parcel had already been delivered to its destination, in this case, my office. Usually, I would receive an email from my office’s reception informing me that a package had arrived for me, but up till yesterday I had not received any such notification.

There was only one thing to do. I emailed the reception and even called up. So the hunt for my parcel began. At about 4:30p.m. yesterday, my receptionist told me that the parcel had been delivered to the mailroom instead of the reception. And in fact, they had received it last Friday evening. What a relief! At least I knew my parcel was safe and sound. I called the mailroom up, and made arrangements to collect it the next day.

And I just did! So here I am sitting at my desk… looking at a medium-sized white box, containing the items I had ordered. The customs had opened the box up for inspection, apparently, but everything looks intact and in order. The products were all wrapped nicely and packed with little styrofoam pieces. Some of the products were even wrapped in silver paper too!

I just can’t wait to go back home and use the products! Wheeeeee!!!!
