pigeonforce Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Posted August 17, 2009 well there is certainly room for a reliable service especially one that will link up for the scotish lads , hope it works for you and it is a sucsess We would be willing to link up with other couriers and would be willing to pass on jobs that we can not fit in, as we are fully booked nearly every week, we now have a few customers in areas that are willing to pick up strays and hold them until collection can be arranged. Thank you to those people they are making the service much faster.

Guest mick bowler Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 I have met daryl, very nice lad, unfortunatly when i used the service i was told day before (after 8 days notice given) that they could not do my collection. Made me look a bit of a tool.
mcclaff Posted August 17, 2009 Report Posted August 17, 2009 I notice Mick your in Ireland and might be able to help me. You wouldn't happen to have a number for John Miller as i need a couple of birds brought over from Lincolnshire to Northern Ireland. I've seen his number somewhere b4 but now that i'm looking for it, no sign if it. Thanks Gerry

pigeonforce Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Posted August 17, 2009 As we work for the people and not as a large company we take the jobs on a week in advance thats the only way it can work and is how most couriers work so that we can link all the jobs together. We aim to give as much notice as possible but we work on a 24hr notice as explained to all customer. We appreciate all feed back whether possitive or negative it helps us to build and improve our service! We have hundreds of satisfied customers but we cant please everybody but we will do the best of our ability to try, we are still in a learning process with the pigeon business and are working hard to achieve a top class service for our fellow pigeon fanciers, yours julie Pigeon Force

The reason i was mainly annoyed was that i actually had 2 pick ups, one of which was also an area you said you did not cover. For the two jobs i would of happily paid extra, but was never requested, and the courier that did do it was very pleased and actually offered a good discount ! As i said to Darryl if you run a business trying to make every jobpay then that business will almost certainly fail. There will be good and bad, the success of a business is judged by its end of year accounts and not the weekly ones.
