Amtrak fail to deliver

[Whats it called Cumbernauld]

Trust Joe when you get one sausage,when the price you pay is for two, you will take the rough with the smooth and pay, and enjoy the best you can.

ok put your hands up who would like to go round the country to deliver pigeons for all and sundry at £30 a time dont all rush at once

 

 

oh happy days

 

is this the reason why u praise amtrak?..because ur worried if they get too much bad press they will withdraw their service,do u honestly believe that they would throw a massive  business deal  away?

and if thats ur reason then im sorry but thats hypicritical of you.

let me tell u of many ..yes many bad experiences ppl down the length of the country for years have had with them.

and do u honestly believe that there are many more good then bad storys about them?...id say equal.

last 4 amtrak dealings one good 3 bad.

1 of them where they didnt pick up all the birds and tried to charge me extra next day...they would have to get up earlier then they do, to try and catch me .

 

but will agree it could be area which we all live in thats bad..ie drivers and so on.

I keep pushing Pigeon Express because I know he is as good as you can get.  He may be a fiver dearer but it's same day delivery, he only carry's pigeons and he's always in contact with you.  I have known him go as far as Cumbria but he must have pick up, delivery on route or as you say, travelling that distance for a single delivery £35 wouldn't pay his diesel.  If he can accomodate you, he will.

SPDS now have two depots in England Leeds & Manchester you can drop off your goods up to 7-30pm for next day delivery including Thurso & Campbeltown they also have depots in Aberdeen & Glasgow and various locations and have a tie up with a well known South based companywhich covers England and Wales could be well worth a ring they have a web site

Has anyone on the PB ever used them I know Shotgun Tim has

[pjc]

Adding on from What Ted said, there is a section on this site for people to post any trips they may be taking where they can pick up drop birds off enroute, just see how many bothered to put there movements on there as well.

With birds I have bred for people this year i have tried to time them to coincide with trips up and down the country so that I could either deliver or meet the people concerned.

Something needs to be done but unless Amtrak threaten to stop delivering then the RPRA certainly won't step in!

no individual would do it for £30 but no reason a network couldn't and it would then be cost efficient!

If fanciers formed a network then at least we know the birds would be in good hands!

[Guest REDFOXKRAUTHS]

i had birds comming from london and i live in cornwall they ended up in newcastle

[Guest peter.j]

arent they from my neck of the woods ..pete

[Guest]

never had a bad thing to say about them might be different if they lost some birds but i would think if a proper survey was done they get it right 95% of the time as for customer service cant ans. for them but i bet if they started to pay compo every bird was bought for over £200
