Title: Grrrrr Parcelforce
Post by: djdaveyp85 on 12 February 2009, 13:18:40
I managed to get a secondhand diff for £70 off an 03 MV6 and all was looking great until Parcelforce decided to rag it about that much that it has leaked everywhere at their leeds dpot and now they are refusing to deliver it! The guy i ordered it off put it in a thick plastic bag then wrapped it in bubble wrap and another thick plastic bag and then packed it so the label was on top. How much do these couriers rag things about in transport? You think charging twice as much as anybody else that parcelforce would take a bit more care! NOw I have to collect it myself from leeds!

ive had so many things either go missing or received damaged that i insist that if i buy anything i ask the seller NOT to use parcelfarce, i suppose they were disapointed that they couldnt play football with your parcel so wont deliver it ;)

I did some night sub work for TNT just before I came off the road and the night sorters used to play football with anything marked fragile.

Well i went to pick it up today and i hope whoever was playing football with it broke their foot! It was packaged by being wrapped in plastic, then bubblewrap, then more plastic then a bag then in a box and the box is destroyed and the plastic is torn all over the place and theres oil everywhere! I had a nice shout at the guy there, but luckily the diff isnt damaged!
