DELIVERY MAN TO BUYERS: WE ARE NOT YOUR SLAVES

A netizen shared with us today on how some customers who order deliveries are stuck up and think that because they are paying customers they are king.

Here is the story

“I have been doing delivery for a few years and have met lots of people in my line of work.

While most are nice, there are still quite a number of a*sholes who think that just because they pay for delivery, they are royalty.

Just two days ago, I went all the way down to Pioneer to deliver a heavy parcel to this student.

I followed the procedures and messaged and called her while I was leaving my warehouse but she did not respond or pick up my calls (five times in total).

I continued calling her when I was outside her doorstep and she still did not pick up (she opted for personal delivery so I either had to pass it to her or bring it back to my warehouse).

After trying for 10 minutes, I left and cancelled her delivery order as I still had quite a number of locations to go to.

10 seconds after I cancelled, she call me back and scolded me for cancelling and demanded me to in a rude manner to bring it back to her claiming that she paid for the delivery and I ought to wait till she responded to me (she was in the middle of a zoom class).

I refused her and told her that I have tried from the time I left the warehouse till I reached her place and the least she could do was to drop me a message to let me know her situation.

I also told her that I am not her slave and she is not the only one who has ordered delivery.

She threatened to complain to my company and to make me viral on social media but I told her to be my guest as I have all the evidence and records to use it against her if she tries.

The moment she heard these, she relented and begged me to come back as she really needed her stuff but I decided to reject her to teach her a lesson.

Thankfully for me, my company backed me up.”

THAILAND USES ARMPIT SWEAT TO TEST FOR COVID-19 WITH NEW DEVICE

Thai researchers are currently into developing a new mobile test kit which uses armpit sweat to test for Covid-19 infection.

They have started testing the kit on shopkeepers at a Bangkok food market.

A researcher has also said that people with Covid-19 infection discrete sweat with certain chemicals when he went through the samples.

The researcher also said that the test is 95% accurate and hopes that the test kit will be successful and able to roll out as an alternative that is more affordable as compared to the more expensive swab tests that requires lab processing.

Test process

A cotton swab is first placed under the arm for 15 minutes, and the swab is then put into a glass vial and sterilised with UV rays.

An appropriate amount of the sample is drawn using a suction hose and it is pressurised into an analyser to check the results.

The amount of time taken for sample collection is 15 minutes and results will be out in 30 seconds.

Vendors that tried the test kit praised its efficiency and said that it is more pleasant than the current polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing where the nostrils are swabbed instead.

The test kit is still under development as of today.

MAN CLAIMS FOOD COMPANY HIDE ROTTING FOODS FROM SFA DURING INSPECTION

When it comes to food safety, suppliers must always be vigilant when dealing with some of these frozen product importers.

For instance, I recently came across this particular frozen product importer in Jurong which I choose not to disclose his name. Terrible stench of expired stocks was discovered by me when I happened to pass by there one day.

I have also been told that these expired stocks are stored in cold rooms of different locations to avoid inspection from SFA before they are reprocessed and resold to the open market at a cheap price.

Can you imagine what could have happened to consumers if they are to consume this expired pork? Who would bear the responsibility? I hope suppliers can exercise due care when dealing with any of such unscrupulous importers to protect the well being of consumers.

MAN WARNS OF BUYING FROM EZBUY, SAID: SMALL CLAIMS ALSO NO CHANCE

I brought this matter up just for the awareness of the public if you are considering to purchase items from Ezbuy. There is no chance you can sue them via small claims tribunal as T&Cs are governed by Law in China, Pudong Shanghai (smart trick from the company), and CASE failed or rather say they have not never started an official negotiation with them as Ezbuy declined (in case any consumer will like to waste their money and time to engage them).

A horrible story started from I purchased a bed on 7/1/21 from Ezbuy and I had requested for cancellation because they failed to dispatch it within the timeframe stated, however they refused for cancellation and full refund as stated clearly in the cancellation term (yet their manager who pretended to be the CEO can said it is against their policy)

I rediscussed further with them and given them 2 options:

Returning of the item and I will pay for the shipping cost however they insisted for me to pay for the storage fees as well due to their delay in this matter

Therefore I chose to proceed with the shipping with the additional term for the insurance coverage that “to ensure there is no defect or damage of the item during the delivery/receiving otherwise full refund is warranted

However they still refused for full refund despite multiple defects or damages found, and part of the item been returned.

I urge the public to be very careful and think twice before you are purchasing any item from Ezbuy, do not fall into the same trick and did not even get back any single cent from them. I hope other local news or authority can react promptly to their dishonesty of the business

4 MEN INVESTIGATED FOR ABUSING PUBLIC SERVANTS

Man VS Bus captain

The first incident occurred on July 31, 2021, when a 53-year-old man reportedly yelled vulgarities at a bus captain after being instructed to properly wear his mask while inside the vehicle at Paya Lebar MRT station.

The bus captain had approached the man in his seat to tell him that his mask had fallen below his nose and needed to be pulled up. Following the bus captain returned to the driver’s seat after obeying, the guy allegedly blasted him with vulgarities. The 53-year-old man is presently cooperating with police investigations into his use of abusive language toward a public servant and his failure to follow safe distancing procedures.

Man Vs Safe Distancing Enforcement Officer(SDEO)

On August 5, 2021, a National Environment Agency (NEA) safe distancing enforcement officer (SDEO) was doing his duty at Geylang Serai Market when he came across an 81-year-old man who had his mask pulled below his lips.

The SDEO had approached the guy to educate him on how to correctly wear his mask, but instead of cooperating, the man reportedly threatened and insulted the SDEO. The 81-year-old man is now cooperating with police inquiries into his use of abusive language toward a public servant and his failure to follow safe distancing procedures.

Drunk Man VS Police Officer

For the third incident, on 7 August 2021, a 51-year-old male passenger had allegedly refused to wear a mask while inside a taxi. The taxi driver had observed the man to be visibly intoxicated and not wearing a mask at the point of pick-up. During the trip, the taxi driver had advised the man to put on a mask and even offered a mask to the man repeatedly, but he allegedly refused to comply. Upon the Police’s arrival, officers engaged the man to put on a mask but to no avail.

The man had instead allegedly hurled vulgarities at the police officers. The 51-year-old man was subsequently arrested for allegedly using abusive language towards a public servant and for allegedly causing annoyance in a public place whilst drunk. He is currently assisting with police investigations for non-compliance with safe distancing measures.

Man VS SDEO again

For the fourth incident, on 12 August 2021, an SDEO attached to the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) was performing her duties at a coffee shop along Whampoa Drive when a 34-year-old man had interrupted her conversation with another patron as she was advising on safe distancing measures, and had allegedly hurled vulgarities at her.
