only beef i have with couriers is the times that you get given...your parcel will be delivered between 8am and 2 pm......what good is that..
true true, if i had to courier something i would just ask my good mate russ to do it.....plug for J&R couriers
couriers are in anyway noware near perfect,
while working in belfast last year we had some more equipment sent over from chelmsford, which was meant to be next day (cost a fortune to send it as well). The package went via amsterdam, somewhere in Germany and paris according to all the stamps on the box which turned up 3 weeks later.
After waiting a week we got more sent over next day via royal mail low and behold 10 am the next morning all the gear.
No company is perfect and if you think millions of letters and parcels get sent everyday, there not doing too bad a job. Well done the posties

I am sure they just stick up a different random blurb each day
well if it helps anything else run smoothly my dad said they're striking again this weekend, so don't send anything 3 days before or after this weekend or you're asking for trouble.
Sent two parcels last friday, one landed at its destination in pieces requiring me to hand out a full refund and the other landed on my doorstep today with return to sender slapped all over it. Some dips**t at the sorting offices couldnt even handle a bloody postcode without ballsing it up. Sorry paddy, gogs sent today bud... Again...

You ain't far wrong there matey. I was expecting a gat to arrive today and had been tracking it from early this morning online. I got the same message as you 'parcel has left depot and will be delivered shortly'. It was s'possed to arrive by 1pm, never came
It then said they attempted delivery before 12.01...I WAS HOME ALL DAY WAITING BY CHUFFIN LETTERBOX!When I call them up to enquire about my so called attempted delivery they say that according to there computer the address was incomplete and the parcel will be returned to sender (was never even attempted to be delivered!). NOW.....this gat came from a well respected member on here who has assured me everything was done 'as is' and I have absolutely no reason to disbelieve him. I do however have a problem with royal 'ball$ up' mail
How hard can it be to read a label and deliver to that address?
I say blow royal mail out of the water and give someone else a chance to do the job properly
