Couriers, Sent from god or the spawn of Satan!

[Oddsocks]

Ok, so last week (FRIDAY) was ok, had a deal on a newer better spec electric trolley from a forum member and sold mine for 15.00 less than the one i brought so all in all started the weekend with a nice mood.

Saturday, another good day, birthday shopping with the girlfriend saturday morning, silvermere and AG golf shiopping in the afternoon topped of by a nice curry and a few beers saturday night then after a bit of how's ya farther night night as im playing golf with a mate at he's expense sunday morning.

Sunday, a storming game matching my best round of the year, followed off by some more golfy shopping and a nicely finished weekend.

So i wake up this morning looking forward to my new motocaddy landing, only to receive it with a BUSTED AXEL as the courier as mistaken the box for something indistructable and bounced it off every van from london to scotland.

Why... Why is it after a great weekend its always a bloody courier that ruins my monday!

Just think how you would have felt if your weekend had been lousy as well

How is the misses?

Sad news, you sure they didn't send it like that

I'd have swapped your weekend for mine spent mostly in a hospice but it doesn't detract from the fact that the courier must be neglible but its how you prove it that will be tricky. You said in another post there is no sign of the box being battered but that is no proof. If it was under some dirty great package at an angle then weight and gravity will do it without necessarily causing any damage to the box

I have faith that I've purchased the trolley from a respected member, plus the break is clean and fresh do I'm confident the brake is through shipping and not anything else

Homer it's looking like the courier should be playing ball which I'd a bonus

Just wondering what type of force could have produced a clean break in a steel axle ?? 3/8th" diameter.

OK it might have bent if you had put it over a fulcrum with a generously proportioned Forumer standing on each end, but a clean break ???

In my defence here I feel that I have to add the following.

Firstly the trolley was in one piece when it left here on Friday, after the same courier company ruined my day by telling me they would collect between 0900-1300 hours meaning I had to cancel my golf. They turned up at 1600!

Anyway the trolley was parcelled up in a trolley box which I got from my local pro shop and both batteries were wrapped up in cardboard and put at the bottom of the box. The courier driver had a wrist in a splint so I helped him carry the box out to his van and placed it in the back with him. Since then it has obviously been hash bashed about the depot from one van to the other.

I can only apologise that it didn't arrive in perfect order and fingers crossed it will all get sorted out through the couriers insurance. I have sold quite a few things on the forum and no one has had a problem or an issue.

The last time that I had a delivery from work by a carrier I looked in the back of the lorry to see 4 gigantic lorry tyres in amongst loads of boxes. They weren't even tied down - no wonder most of the boxes appeared damaged, including my delivery, which had to be re-ordered

That's the trouble with multi-drop drivers - they just don't seem to care.

Crawford. In no way was my post intended to suggest that you may have sent a damaged trolley and I'm sorry if it might have read like that to some. In fact I don't believe that any esablished Forumer would sell damaged goods to another Forumer.

No, the post was meant exactly as written. What kind of force could have made a clean break in the axle. It begs the question that if there were no signs of damage to the packageing, was the trolley re-packaged by the couriers?

My apologies if offense was taken.

id like to make it perfectly clear that at no point am i holding crawford responsible for this, infact he has even offer to contribute to the repair costs if the courier backs out, which you cant say fairer than that. Crawford has been very easy to deal with which i hope he feels the same, and as i said i hold no liability to him,.

Whats funny is after reading lefties post i have re-checked the box, and guess what.

A courier has repacked the box in its own DPD Courier tape, this would suggest at some point this box has been dropped and split and forced them to repackage the item. In my opinion it was no doubt broke when they re taped the box, Bloody Monkies.
