Yesterday as i was going out off the house , amtrak arrived and said" bird for yourself ", gave my house number etc and because i'd lost a cheq (which i had a quick look at but did,nt have time to go back into the house and check it's ring and the bird in the box looked very similar , anyway on getting home again and checking ring numbers the bird was,nt mine at all but a fancier round the street with the same house number as myself, i phoned the gentleman who had ,had the bird delivered and he assured me that the bird had indeed come into his loft in derbyshire( we're in Edinburgh) and he kindly offered to compensate me straight away as he thought he had sent it to the wrong address, i then contacted another fancier next to me who was able to verify who owned the pigeon, luckily enough it was a friend of his who came this evening to pick up the bird straight away and reimbursed me, what would have happened if for instance my wife answered the door paid £22 in good faith and then the other fancier had'nt wanted it back? amtrak were not , how shall we say it "for giving an apology" yet the gentleman in derbyshire who had already done his bit as far as i can see even offered me to compensate me for the money i'd paid although the pigeon had nothing to do with him apart from landing in his loft for a day,.
Do others have any opinions on amtrak and their service,? when i phone the fancier from Derbyshire i shall if he gives me his permission name him as i think himself and his wife are a credit to the game, amtrak in my opinion did,nt do a good job in this case.
