Default parcel force..lost one of my BBS centres :(

Parcel force have lost one of my BBS centre sections...the box has no label as it was one of three boxes banded together...its been over a week now with no joy. How have others got on with recovering lost items from parcelforce, successfull?

Basically, you're fucked

Cos ParcelForce don't care, and will not agree with what the value is.....

Whatever it is worth, tell them 4x the amount. Then at least you'll get half the value of the centre.....

well, if i cant find one then its the value of the set of wheel's as they'll sort of be scrap....it would probably work out cheaper to convert them to centre locks as they're the same outer hoops

Like I say, think of a number, then multiply it by 4....


Then, parcel force will agree on 1/8th of it.


So you'll get HALF the value of your wheel/wheels.....

Simple isn't it....

thats a bummer mate............... my one fear about getting the BBS was replacing one if something happened to one of them

i'd just tell them they owe you 2.5K mate as the set is useless unless its for a reliant

yeah you had when I picked these up from you mate. Ive been meaning to get them off you for a while now...looks like I may have to buy them sooner rather than later now though Still £100 each Martin? It looks like central blasting didnt insure them, so ive probably lost out completly on the missing centre if it dont turn up

One turned up at mine and two others turned up at CB again...just this other one that parcel force didnt have the intelligence to send back with the other two that im now missing.
