i left a message with this mob to get two pigeons sent down to me they never even replied back to me,perhaps i know why for,looks like we are stuck with amtrak [anthrax!!!!] on a national scale
to learn from your mistakes is easy to learn from someone else' is harder.[bismarck]
Tender an offer of a service and price you could suply the service for,.............................you offer a price for the service you are willing to provide someone and a price per unit in this case each consignment of pigeons
They advertised for 5 weeks in the BHW just got of the phone to the owner's wife and am trying to get hold of the owner to see if he is willing to give it another run they are on a much smaller scale than amtrak but the service is far better will keep you updated on the service
Any idea which weeks it was in so I can cut it out and put up in our clubhouse.
not sure what weeks they were mike said throughout may. I have done this of my own back and have no involvement with any person's at AMdeliveries i keep hearing stories about amtrak and remembered looking at a post about this service and got in contact with them as i will need to use the service in the future and was told that they no longer do the pigeon service to which i have responded by trying to help get us as a fancy a better service than the one currently available from amtrak
before you put it up we need to get them to start the service back up again

they are willing to give it another go if we can show them it will be worth it i just wanted to get us another service that we can rely on and who will take care of our birds whilst in their care
I only remember seeing 1 small advert in the BHW. This has only been up and running for a very short time. A lot more promotion needs to be done, inthe press, sponsorship etc etc to get the name out there. Peter Bryant / RPRA did promote Phantom Flyer when he was going nationwide but who knows what happened to that! It maybe worth contacting RPRA.
the problem people have is poor service from amtrak or so i thought so it would make no sense to do that as amtrak would still handle the birds and there for there would be a chance of horror
well heres a suggestion if AMdeliverys posted a topic with a poster on then everyone on site could print one then put it up in there club house or print one per member and hand them out, if amdeliverys have give up now they be sorry as it's nearly silly season in the B.H.W everyone will be selling birds at the end of the season , and everyone will be buying birds and 90% will want delivering
like we said DovesCot... not enough money in it to squabble over. Say what you like ... must protect my shares .... Amtrax do a bloody good job considering the Millions of birds they must have fetch and carried for the fancier on the past few years. Yes let the knocker knock... But the old adage of 'You can do without Tom, Dick, or Harry ... but how much better can we be with them. instead of bleating, whinging and moaning nonstop at every chance... try having a favourable word with the driver... works wonder and cost nowt ... they never have time for a cuppa so the pocket you still save a little... and every little helps at Amtrax prices lol

i think with anthrax its down to the depot and driver[s] i am lucky [now] they have moved the depot to luton[i think] and the driver we have now is bloody good [which means he will not last] my main problem with them is not all depots and drivers are that good at all, i have had amtrak go to pick birds for me with no boxes,they have lost birds,crushed boxes and sent them to the wrong end of the country,when i saw the ad for am i thought thank god for that,any serious threat to amtrak will be good and make them pull their socks up a bit,but why give up this time of the year,with a bit more publicty they will get more work than they can cope with

not sure he know's about how our sport works and what time of year is best for him i have mailed him and i am hoping he sets this back up and makes it work
Amtrax don't need too much creaing off there profits... not a case where there is plenty of loot to be made. Still you all know this... just hope on a whim and a prayer for a mirical. No one ever posts ... outside of me ... just what will happen when Amtrax pull the plug. This I fear won't be long now... Then of course in reality, any competitor will have a free hand... But that's never going to happen, besides I feel that Amtrax will soon have to increase prices a bit more with the cost of fuel being what it is.... No need to report stray at all then so many will be happier. then again the Bigger Stud / feather sellers will arrange area deliveries, so just a little extra cost. The rest of us will have to get the tandam's out and make sure the misis is at the front - so she won't notice you're not peddling. 2years -3 years tops... then of course another 20%, 30% or more will pack up ... and more costs. Yet no one has bothered looking, for that magic wand.

You don't need a competator for Amtrak you need a replacement for them and one that is national and willing to stay the distance. There is not enough money in the transport of pigeons for two national companies to fight over or they would be doing it already CUSTOMER BEWARE there better be a good back up plan, if someone eats well into the profits of Amtrak that they deem it no longer viable and then they fizzle out then goodbye national courier service. AM Deliveries need to get the studs contracts, Stuart Wilcox posted on here some time ago that he spends over £15000 a year on Amtrak and they still muck him about, they are the guys they need to target if they are serious Apart from that you will get good and bad drivers in any company, accidents, excusses, cockups, networking problems, computer glitches, traffic works and accidents. The list is endless I know I have used most of them
