Welcome, BlueDart. How may I help you?
- Hi. I have been waiting for a priority consignment for past 2 days. The waybill# is #########. When I track online, it says the address is incorrect, hence misrouted. Nobody called me, even though you have my phone contact. Can I know where my shipment is?
-- Sure sir. Please hold for a moment. (after a minute) Sir, your shipment has been misrouted to ?????? because of incorrect pin code.
- Well yes I know that. My question is, how can I get it now? I can correct the address (which should be correct already..in the first place).
-- Sure sir. Please hold for a minute (...)

(after ... 12 minutes of holding and address correction)

- Well can I come and collect them right now at yout office?
-- Sure sir. Heres the address: ?????
- Ok I will be there in an hour.

(after 5 minutes, I call to confirm their address)
- Hi, I just need your address. I am coming to collect the shipment.
-- Well sir you cannot come and collect here. For security purposes, we will only deliver at your home.
- And when will that be?
-- On Monday.
- And what if I need them urgently?
-- I cannot help you sir. Thank you for calling BlueDart.
