Insanity: Doing the same thing and expecting different results. I sent a package via LBC to my wife who was in Davao. I saw that LBC had a service for tracking packages via SMS. Masubukan nga. I was expecting it to be like FedEx s online web tracking. When I used FedEx s online tracking of a package I sent to my sister postcode finder in Australia, I watched the status of the package. I watched it as it went through Philippine customs, was in flight, was in Australian customs, postcode finder and then for delivery and finally delivered! Ayos! I was expecting something similar from LBC package tracking via SMS. It wasn t anything close. Here are my SMS queries (P2.50 each) and the responses of LBC Track: Query: LBC HELP (sent to 211; Tuesday, 12:25:58AM) Welcome to LBC HELP! To track a package, type: LBCTRACK [tracking#] ex. LBCTRACK 12345678; To find a branch, postcode finder type: LBCFIND [location] ex. LBCFIND Antipolo. Thank you for using LBC Help! Query: LBCTRACK 400001302xx (sent to 211; Tuesday, 12:27:09AM) 400001302xx (05/02/2005) Package is for delivery. For assistance, call 854-4848. Thank you for using LBC Help! Uhmmmm right. postcode finder Pero tell me something postcode finder I don t know yet . The next day, I Queried: LBCTRACK 400001302xx (sent to 211; Wednesday, 2:47:21PM) 400001302xx (05/03/2005) Package is for delivery. For assistance, call 854-4848. Thank you for using LBC Help! Para ka naming sirang plaka, paulit-ulit. Maya-maya, isa pa, baka sakaling makita ko dito kung nakarating na yung package ng wife ko: LBCTRACK 400001302xx (sent to 211; Wednesday, 8:18:19PM) 400001302xx (05/03/2005) Package is for delivery. For assistance, call 854-4848. postcode finder Thank you for using LBC Help! Syemes! Textin ko nalang kaya wife ko. I texted, and my wife told me she had received the package by Wednesday afternoon. Last nalang, let s see if the SMS tracker will say package delivered at [time and date] . Query: LBCTRACK 400001302xx (sent to 211; Thursday, 12:36:30PM) This information is not available at the moment. One side of me wanted to curse. But my schizophrenic other self started chanting: positive energies positive energies come to me kasabay ng aking kamay na kumakaway, kumukuha ng positive aura mula sa paligid papunta sa aking mukhang pumapangit dahil sa inis. I therefore conclude, USELESS! LBC Tracking was useless for me and cost me P12.50. Mabuti pang nag-text nalang ako sa aking wifey. Naka-twelve sweet nothings pa sana ako. There are gems of SMS services in the Philippines. But there s a lot of crap too. It s a matter of finding those gems and using them appropriately.
