I have bought some bits off phill eddowes for my s2, they came today, brilliant i thought till he knocked on the door and said 'i dont think you will want this m8', so we went out to the truck and there it was my mongoose 3" system, front section CRUSHED....grrrrrr....(the words i said to the courier cant be repeated). 'But thats not all he said', as he shows me the back box 'this is damaged too', by this time im well pissed , i rung the company and they couldnt care less ....

my point is why charge a small fortune for delivery then damage it...

(cheers phil, the other bits r bang on m8, think i might have some more bits off u soon.. )

 

shite mate Im not suprised you got pissed at them

 

not only that mate
we send stuff out and sometimes takes days to get there
and we got an acount with them
make us look bad for not sending stuff out

 

Use Parcel Force, cant praise them enough!

Think they are brilliant!

 

Business Express lose my parcels all the time. Something simple like new axle stands, nothing complex. Have been missing for over a month now.

Parcel Force are good imo.

 

have too agree there parcel force r very good.....still pissed off now...

 

the fooking tool who delivered by guages today couldnt find my box, so he was throwing stuff about in the van to find mine, he actually chucked mine out the way too but then realised it was my parcel

he was old otherwise he would have got some proper abuse

rs-nut-john, I wouldnt have let the courier go any fuckin where until they agreed to reimburse me for the damaged goods ring them up and say you will see them in court unless they pay out or something....

 

we use omega but now its gone over to dhl there shite
parcel force are so expensive
they do everything on weight
we get a next day delivery Ł12.50 or gold dilivery Ł20
for any parcel even bumpers and doors if we wanted up to 60 kg
if we sent a rear brake kit out it would cost over Ł28 for a next day due to the weight
small things we send royal mail next day there very good

 

I use Business Post based in Croydon, Surrey! I sent an item to someone off EBAY and it got damaged. Its taken me over 2 weeks to contact the people (Hardly answer the phone) and they havent done anything bout it yet! Making me look bad to the person I sent it to

 

Ok parcel force are ok but they still dont care about the parcels at alll as i worked for them for a bit and business post well i've done some trunking to birmingham HUB for them and the loaders at the HUB are complete wank8rs if its not in the sorting cage it is at great risk of being smashed to bits as if it dont fit they just ram t on the back of the lorrys

 

You've hit the nail there tho, you pays ya money you get better service.

I regually go into parcel hubs (the place where all ya parcels go to be re-directed around the country) and you should see how they get handled in those places!!! JEEEEZ Who'd of thought you could drop kick a box that far

The places are full of convayour belts, slides and slopes - the amount of things that get busted is unreal

Parcel Force are good for the money you have to pay out.

 

yes mate but you cart say to a customer Ł35 post and packin on a small artical
due to the weight

 

We use Tuffnells at wrk ive send many car parts out and they always get there on time and not damaged

 

they are innsured, sue

 

Trua and i know where ya coming from, but if ya want it in one piece!

 

initial city link lost some of my car bits, didnt ever get them or any comp for them losing them

 

the ppl we use are normally ok with things getting damged just some times the 2 day thing takes 4 days
the gold delivery always gets there on time thow

 

we use nightspeed at our work. we send all sorts of shyte, wheels mainly. never had any complaints about losses or anything. Ł9.25 for any size parcel up 2 25kg. small packages go 1st class

 

don't shoot the courier mate, it's probably happenend at the hub, not on the road.

i work as a courier and yep, it's very very sad but such things happens

 

aye ok m8 whatever... ....u pay out for a exhaust to then recive it well and truley fooooooked and see how u like it....grrrrrrrrrrr...but yeah it was prob done in the hub but its not the point is it....

 

Know how you feel John.

I bought some alloys earlier this year, when I got them, all 4 were so badly damaged that I had to pay out to get them all refurbished.

Apparently the courier company didnt want to know, but I only have the bloke I bought them offs word on that as he wouldn't give me their details so I could go ballistic at them myself.

 

My beef with all couriers except Parcel Force is that their delivery drivers have the IQ of a fucking snail. My address is a bungalow yet my neighbour gets missed delivery card for me and he lives in a house even though I always specify its a bungalow in the address. Parceline/Business Post/City Link/DHL/Securicor-Omega are all shite IMO.
Rant over

Cam

 

Try using Initial City Link, I spend around 30k a year with them through my company and 95% of the stuff I ship is glass as I run a lighting company. Hardly get any breakages or fucked up deliveries so would reccomend them

 

Yeah, I use Citylink as well and they are fine. Amtrak are tossers though..!! (well, they are in Edinburgh)

 

i sned loads of stuff via tnt, there the tits , never lost anything


parcels2go.com have been very very very good sofar

royal mail im now worried wiht as the guy i snet a chip to aint recived it yet

im expecting bad news

 

www.parcel2go.com is via DHL (ex securicor) I sent something out yesterday, filled in the form online at 10:38am and the guy turned up at 12.07

So far everythings arrived ontime safe and well

Were just lucky as the local driver is not an agency lad. Agency drivers get paid by the hour, so to them 1 drop or pick up is enough, as its all the same pay Employees however are paid per item AFAIK.
