thought i,d air this one ,a few on here know about it :'(
after visiting mk09 ,i purchased a very nice survivor 79 diamonback pro off sparky ,,,it was a birthday present off the missus aswell ,,and a nice set of db pro bars
sparky reckons he only knows of three in the country 8)
anyway to cut a long story short ,i had decided to send it to dan for a candy finish on top of the chrome ,,decided to do the tnt pick up from home
so left it at the inlaws :knuppel2:
in the meantime another courier firm turned up to collect some clothes returns ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
this is where it goes wrong
the mother inlaw hands over my parcel with frame and bars in it ,,,with a pre printed label ,,,,,the fookwit then reprints his own label and takes it away :crazy2:
the next day the missus realises and phones the firm ,,they tell her its still in the area ,,,,,,,,result :daumenhoch:
NOT :wtf:
its on its way to leeds ,,,,,,,they tell me after 28 days it will finally end up at its intended destination ,,,,
28 days later ,,,no frame turns up at dans
so on the phone i go ,,,,only to be told they can't find it ,,how the fook do you loose a box that size :2gunsfiring_v1:
after several phone calls later i am rewarded a £130 compensation pay out as a good will gesture ,im out of pocket by £140 ,,,,w4nkers :knuppel2:
because the dopey mother inlaw handed the parcel over ,,,the blame was 50/50 ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
so the moral of the story is ,,,dont rely on your p1ss and germaline smelling mother inlaw ..to get it right :10_2_12:
so please keep an eye out for my stuff lads ,,,especially if you live in leeds,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, in the local rags :tickedoff:
heres a pic
its got the double drop outs on the front

Top geezers they are at Dennis winters, will use them again defo.

Royal Mail loose at least 1 thing every week with stuff we send out. It drives me round the bend, with the lengthy process involved in claiming and then only getting a lesser amount we don't even bother claiming now. Twonks.
OS-wise, they lost 4 times (all of which were sent recorded delivery) of the sale I had last year. WTF? How?
Everything over £50 I now send via courier...I use APC and never had a thing go missing yet (fingers crossed!).
I feel for you bro.
