steve Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Welcome to the Pigeon basics site Julia and hope you have a pleasant time on here some of them, do bite a bit especially COURIERS ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D welcome to the forum julia most are ok (if your not a courier) ;D ;D ;D
JM Couriers Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 What have you got against Couriers? Actually, dont answer that!. Thats the reason we set up our own. Too many horror stories of live goods getting squashed at the bottom of the pile, arriving DOA after getting left in the warehouse, or people getting fleeced in the pocket We need to make a living but not at the expense of ripping people off. See.......there ARE some nice Couriers out there Be gentle with me people...........I dont like sharp teeth :X Julia
JM Couriers Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 JM Couriers Welcome to the Pigeon basics enjoy our site Thankyou for the welcome. Living next door to a pigeon fancier has its frantic moments........especially during racing season when i have 6 cats :X Luckily, he's ok with cats and i do my best to keep them in. You get to know when the birds are back and we are neighbours at the end of the day so its a compromise. Its a case of if you cant beat em join em lol. I get just as excited when the birds come back as he does! He was the one who suggested the lost and found pigeon service. I didnt even know pigeons got lost :B No, i'm not blonde but it does prove you can learn something new at the age of 43 If my messages are all over the place, please bear with me. it might take me a while to get used to the site. Julia
DOVEScot Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Hi and welcome, where are you based and can you post some details please
JM Couriers Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 hi and welcome Thanks Nice ride. Is that yours in the avatar? Mikes car mad. Not so much Lewis Hamilton as Stirling Moss at his age lol We went through a Renault 21 Turbo stage, where it was modded to the hilt. Took that to Trax, Santa Pod etc, then he went on to a Seat leon Cupra R (nudged gently by my good self) and now he's looking at an Audi (think its the R8) only 450 bhp. Pigeons would get delivered quick but probably wouldnt have any feathers left by the time thhe got there and the delivery charge would cost a fortune Julia
chickadee Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Hi and welcome to the site, wish you good luck in your new venture.
JM Couriers Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Hi and welcome, where are you based and can you post some details please We are based in Taunton, Somerset. Cover all mainland UK. Do regular Scotland runs on the 1st and 3rd Thursday of each month. I've got 6 cats, 5 dogs, 8 kids and 5 grandchildren and live next door to a pigeon fancier who kept on at me to post about our services........so here I am.

Julia ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Yes I had a look at your website, one concern for me It may work out expensive at £25 a bird/box as they are normally in single boxes the other couriers are charging between £25 - £35 for four birds then £2.50 a bird after that :-/
grizzal Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 JM Couriers Welcome to the Pigeon basics enjoy our site paul
JM Couriers Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 paul Hi The price would be £25 + VAT for any birds going to the same address. Doesnt matter if its 2 birds or or 6, as long as it fits in with our delivery schedule. If we collect any pigeons that may need holding for a few days before being delivered, the neighbour has said he has a spare loft that we can use. Hope that helps julia
OLDYELLOW Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 So is that £28.75 or £29.38 ? for those that dont know what the rate of tax is ? and if it doesnt mater how many birds price be same there would be no price diference for say 20 to 30 birds ? :-/
JM Couriers Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 So is that £28.75 or £29.38 ? for those that dont know what the rate of tax is ? Hi Thats £25.00 including the VAT, which means we are delivering up to 5 birds to the same address for £21.74. I added the VAT @ 15% onto that (which is £3.26) which makes it £25.00 inclusive. Hope that helps Julia

Hope that helps julia i dont want to be pulling you to bits but above said could be up to 6 birds for same price ? and + vat not inclusive of vat :-/
JM Couriers Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 i dont want to be pulling you to bits but above said could be up to 6 birds for same price ? and + vat not inclusive of vat :-/ Yes you are right.........and i was wrong. Sorry too many late nights and early mornings. I am so used to typing + VAT in most quotations. We have the room to carry more than 5 pigeons, so if theres 20 - 30 going to the same address the pricing structure would be £25 including the VAT (of £3.26) for delivery of 5 birds to the same address. If there are more than 5 pigeons, then each extra bird would cost £5.00 including VAT (of 65 pence) Julia
Flyin Couriers Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 hi debs and wayne here just would like to welcome you to the site and to pigeon couring if we can help you in any way please do not hesitate to contact ourselfs Welcome Debs & wayne Flyin couriers
THE FIFER Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 would be good to see couriers working together could be a big help to them, regarding deliveries, ??
Roland Posted December 7, 2008 Report Posted December 7, 2008 Well Alan - Allbear - will no doubt be happy to have you on his door step so to speak, and perhaps realy ;D Good luck. May well be that some of these couriers will be helping each other ans splitting costs, and still be profitable. No need for two to go when one can eh! Or relayed, that can be a bind, even burdensome for the 'Fancier' with an amount of anxiousness, but would be realism and practicable I feel. Of course no need to pass on any costs save to the 'Fancier' especially if all in all a better, more helpful service is arrived at!

If its helpful to the Fancier, gets the birds back quicker and we trust the other Courier to relay the pigeon/s as we would, then I havent got a problem with that idea at all. Its all down to what the customer wants and we are happy to oblige in most circumstances. Julia
DOVEScot Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 Sounds good so far, all the best DOVEScot
