the sorry saga of a lousy courier, so wednesday morning around 10am I checked my email (expecting to see bike collected and on its way) and found that they had emailed me (at 22.10) to say their vehicle was still in the garage being fixed. what really p*ss*d me off here though is that they didnt bother to contact philip (the chap I'v bought the bike off) and he had sent someone down to his lock up specially to meet the courier. so I rang philip apologised to him and had a think for an hour, contacted the courier and told them to forget it. searched again for quotes (different site) and accepted another quote and paid the deposit, just waiting to hear from the new courier now

Don't blame you finding someone else, I would too. Are you going to name and shame?

I googled them and it came up with an IT outfit amongst others but no courier! But I saw this in a Telford car park the other day. Nobody in it so he/she might have gone to somewhere to pee!

the plot thickens, got a message today from the seller asking when I was arranging to collect the bike (perfectly reasonable, its dragging on) so rung the courier, his transport manager (his son) answers and asks when did I book the job yesterday? the day before? no says I, it was six days ago. bloody hell he exclaims and says he'll call his father (on the road) and ring me back in a couple of minutes. a couple of minutes later he calls back a promises that they will collect either thursday or friday this week. fingers crossed again time.
in other slightly less relevant news I got my first covid jab yesterday (astra zenica, feeling fine) so at least somethings gone right lately...
