well i think the biggest problem will be stray returns , all unions should make all transporters carry a stray basket , i put my strays in a box with transporter driver and hes more than happy to help them on there way , as for buying birds well id make sure if i was buying i had visited loft and would be happy if not eager to bring any new pigeons to there new home ,

 

our lorry will not carry any pigeon that dose not belong to a cornish combine member >:-(

You must think pigeon people are worse than daft, just because you you can multiply money does not make you good at dividing it properly, you want money off me then I want to know what you are going to do with it or what I am going to get for it before I am daft enough to send you it :-/

This was a common occurence even before they went into liquidation!!!!!(what)

I imagine there will be a lot of people in very similar situations.

Sorry I can't help but if anyone needs help around the Scottish borders let me know!

if they was do you honestly think any thing will be done about it ,with all the illeagle things going on in this country nothing ever gets done untill you get caught out ,i reported them to defra and the RPRA 3 years ago  because of the way our birds were treated by them ,but sod all was ever done .

according to dovescots list , j cooper logistics has national coverage...except  north scotland (possibly link with a scots courier)...so we have national del. service...is that right ? but at what cost ?

Posted
if the license was revoked 3 mths ago surely they would be breaking haulage rules and entitled to be fined for it.

also they had no insurance to cover the birds in transit.

 

You#re point being :-/

Who really cares eh? Certainly not any one that has had the good fortune to have delivered or rrecieved pigeon by them in the last three months.

P.s, Who will possible take action against a defunct outfit that has gone bust becaus ethe money has dried up?

Insurers eh! wasn't worth a match, let alone a light any way.

Ok, let all pick over the bones of amtrack! Let's glorify their misfortune, and celebrate the mess they have left us to solve.

I.e. transporting our birds.

If I decide to set up a courier purely for pigeons, I'd struggle to be national etc. But you know what the really of putting eventuality is?! The long knives would be chipping away almost from the off!

Within weeks, if not days the sniping back stabbers will be having a poke. Then no sooner another comes along, regardless of how good a service it was, me name would be blacken and derided, and all the supposedly thankful, loyal customers will soon go else where.

AM I wrong :B ??)

we dont need any one else if all members of the RPRA was willing to pay a one of payment once a year of £30 it would mean about  £1200,000  a year  to have our own company ,you can have all your birds back ,and no more excuses about i cant aford to send for it .

you are quite right and i would gladly pay £30 / year (sought of insurance) allthough i'm fortunate not to have had to repatriate a stray since i started ( probably talked that up(dizzy))  i think you'd have to limit the number of repatriations per member as people would abuse it...but perhaps you could transfer unused repatriations to your friends. look at the fuss when rpra upped subs a couple of quid...imagine the uproar at £30...so it would probably be better voluntary. unless of course rpra use rule 142 (evil)(evil)

les, that is logical, don't know how practica, but I'd certainly pay that up gladly ... But the membership will never go for that! Not even a fiver mate. And the RPRA daren't pass it for the out cry of the members. Yet will have to re substantiate that Birds must be retrieved etc. Indeed may even carry out some of it's rulings to make a point I fear.
