flyin.couriers09 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 im talking of collections agreements on cost would have to be decided betwween them as for one they would not have the cost of say devon to stirling it woud cut they travel in half so if still wanting 30quid bird each well whats the point in joining together But what i am saying mate is there isnt enough work form one place to collect. We were collecting in say South Wales and we might not have another order for there so we would have to send the van 100's of miles to either drop off or collect see what people dont realise is Amtrax dont just do pigeons they do all kinds they had contracts with big companys dispatching there goods too so thats how they made there money. When i worked for Parcel Force and Fed Ex i had to be at a certain business to collect there items for a certain time and it wasnt just one my van was always full of stuff to be delivered the next day so there hubs are always full of items to be delivered allday everyday.
flyin.couriers09 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 four couiers working together would solve lot problems and arrange collection from each other across the country Ok say you were in South Wales on Monday and had a collection from there going to Aberdeen but you wernt there till Friday then what ?
Guest strapper Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Strapper i dont think all couriers are in it to make money but you are right in a sense maybe they think its a easy way to but believe me its not. hi i know how hard it must be and i wouldnt want to be out from my family the hours some of you are,its hard work and i exactly know how you must feel to be working all them hours,but surely all courriers are courriers because its their work and nobody would start a company if its not to make money..this isnt being argumentive just being realistic. you courriers have overheads and must make money to survive,amtrak on the whole made a mockery out of collecting pigeons ...at least your one firm thats reliable.(flying courriers). but as i stated ..i wouldnt like to do your job

If two couriers got together and put there ideas across and agreed on the best way to do the job i think it would work and like you say they would make money and cover everything they needed to.

Why did you not hook with 1 of the other couriers then mate? you must have contacts etc? you must have realised it was getting to much? It may still be possible for you to join up with someone you know and trust? just my thoughts
just ask me Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 i think to be a courier u have to be a little mad no disrespect meant in all fairness if the bird is not worth the £30 or so to get him delivered well why breed him or buy him in the first place im not saying all the best birds are big money but think of the cost of feeding medication cost of petrol to train get to the club the list goes on and on and on as we all know surely if u are going to spend all this the bird is surely worth the fee to be delivered why take hours out of your day petrol money when these guys and girls (cant forget the girls ;D) will do it for noting i take my hats off to ya i know times are tough in all but lets be fair i know for young fanicers the fee may be hard to get but can the couriers do it any cheaper i think not
flyin.couriers09 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 Why did you not hook with 1 of the other couriers then mate? you must have contacts etc? you must have realised it was getting to much? It may still be possible for you to join up with someone you know and trust? just my thoughts We were talking of joining up with one and we had spoke to him he was a really nice fella but as you know we had problems at home after Xmas so this never happened. When we first started Pigeon Tracker contacted us and fair play to him he was willing to join up with us but that never happened either. I myself contacted JM Couriers when they first started and we spoke again they were really nice and freindly and they were interested but once again it didnt happen. I enjoyed it but it did get too much someone needs to join together or as Numpty said it will just keep failing and there will be people coming on advertising and thinking its easy money to make. If you had say the best 2 couriers getting together then you could make a really good 1 service i wanted to do that and i would like to have but the only thing stopping us was the money like i said the other day we put everything we had into it when we started and we never made it back so if anyone was thinking of it think carefully as you would need to put money and alot of time and effort into this but if you do it right then it could work deffinetly.

flyin.couriers09 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 numpty01 hard graft if that is what you call hard graft you have never done a strock in your life shifting twelve cube of concrete as i used to do on a daily basis now that is hard graft deary me people dont know what hard work is these days Alan whats shifting concrete got to do with with couring pigeons around the country ?????
Guest youngzimmy Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 GET ONE THING INTO YOUR THICK NUTS IF IT WAS NOT FOR PIGEON MEN THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR COURIERS AS FAR AS PIGEONS WAS CONCERNED AND I THINK £25.00 IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ONE PICK UP SO STICK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT
flyin.couriers09 Posted July 7, 2009 Report Posted July 7, 2009 GET ONE THING INTO YOUR THICK NUTS IF IT WAS NOT FOR PIGEON MEN THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR COURIERS AS FAR AS PIGEONS WAS CONCERNED AND I THINK £25.00 IS MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR ONE PICK UP SO STICK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT ;D ;D ;D Ok so tell me if it wasnt for couriers the stray birds or the birds you buy how would you get them from where you have bought them from to your home or loft ??? Alan we never charged you anymore than £25.00 i dont know how much the couriers are charging at the moment but i am going to defend them as we have done it for £25.00 and like i said its impossible mate so even at £40.00 i think is reasonable but still cheap if its coming from the other side of the country mate.
