Honest delivery man returns mistakenly transferred money<\/h2>\n
\n

Online shopping is a huge trend in Vietnam, and delivery drivers play no small part in allowing us the comfort of having whatever we need delivered to our doorsteps.<\/p>\n

Many of these delivery men and women come from humble origins, yet they are known to be honest and hardworking. Stories of them going the extra mile to provide the best service to customers are not uncommon on the Internet, and lately, another one has just joined the collection.<\/p>\n

On Monday evening, Facebook user Ho\u00e0ng Kim Qu\u00e2n took to his personal Facebook wall<\/a> to share a story of an honest delivery man who he claims works with him at a Viettel post office in District 7, Saigon.<\/p>\n

According to Qu\u00e2n, the delivery man, Mr. Tr\u1ecbnh H\u1eefu Th\u00e1i, had delivered a package worth VND400,000 (~USD17.43)<\/strong> to a customer earlier that day. Somehow, though, as the customer transferred money to his bank account as payment, they mistakenly gave him VND400,000,000 (~USD17,426)<\/strong> instead.<\/p>\n

Mr. Th\u00e1i didn\u2019t realize the mistake until late that afternoon, at which point he set aside all work and hurried to the bank before it closed to have the money transferred back. From what Qu\u00e2n said, the fortune was too large for Mr. Th\u00e1i\u2019s bank account to make an online transaction in order to return it to the payer.<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, the massive sum of money was given back to the customer, and they paid Mr. Th\u00e1i VND400,000 in the end as intended.<\/p>\n

Qu\u00e2n\u2019s story was then reshared by the popular Vietnamese Facebook page Kh\u00f4ng S\u1ee3 Ch\u00f3<\/a> the following day and garnered a fair amount of public interest.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the post, most netizens appreciate Mr. Th\u00e1i\u2019s display of integrity and responsibility, though many also criticize the customer for being tight-fisted for not giving the delivery man a tip to cover his petrol costs and effort. After all, he had gone through plenty of trouble to give the buyer their money back on that very same day.<\/p>\n

As it was late in the afternoon when the mistake was realized, Mr. Th\u00e1i could easily have waited until the next day to go to the bank and no one would have blamed him. Still, he insisted on going the extra mile to give the money back on the same day so as not to cause any inconvenience to his customer.<\/p>\n

We have to give massive props to the man for his professionalism even in such a humble job.<\/p>\n
