jimmy_84 Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Guys i e mailed AMDELIVERIES this morning regarding pigeon's and this is my reply we all moan about the poor service from amtrak and these people provide a better service and nobody hardly used it this is the reply Hi James I am glad that our service was noted as such but it is unfortunate that we have had to end our pigeon service as there were too few requests being made for our service so the occasional request from one part of the country to the other would end up costing us more than we were charging. Many apologies but thanks for your enquiry MANY THANKS MIKE AM DELIVERIES So if we all want a better service than amtrak we need to get this company to see that it is worth it for them
PIGEON_MAN Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Must admit this is the first I have heard of AMdeliveries,did they do much advertising,looks as if its to late now anyway as the guy says in his letter that they have had to end the transporting of pigeons.
bewted Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 your right,,,who are they,never heard of them !!!
grizzle_hen Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Here is a link to their website http://www.amdeliveries.com/index.html?_ret_=return it was added to the Pigeonbasics.com links section about a month ago, I'm sure I've seen a post on here about them before
grizzle_hen Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 AM deliveries is also a member of the forum, heres the thread that was advertising them http://forum.pigeonbasics.com/m-1214428431/s-0/#num0 Maybe if people are interested about this service they should email the company to log their support and maybe the forum members can help them
DOVEScot Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Here is a link to their website http://www.amdeliveries.com/index.html?_ret_=return it was added to the Pigeonbasics.com links section about a month ago, I'm sure I've seen a post on here about them before It was posted on the 20th of July, hardly enough time to see if they had any real customers or compete with Amtrak :-/ http://forum.pigeonbasics.com/m-1216513233/s-0/highlight-am+deliveries/#num0
grizzle_hen Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Well I don't know what their advertising was like, but it could have been a matter of not many people seeing their post on here and with everyone using Amtrak however bad they are, the new company or any new pigeon courier company really needs to do lots of advertising to show whys its better than Amtrak, hopefully AM deliveries will keep going and maybe they'll be at Blackpool :-/
jimmy_84 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 They advertised for 5 weeks in the BHW just got of the phone to the owner's wife and am trying to get hold of the owner to see if he is willing to give it another run they are on a much smaller scale than amtrak but the service is far better will keep you updated on the service
grizzle_hen Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 You should also tell them to get in contact with Richard, maybe he could help with advertising on the site
jimmy_84 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 yes i am and also pigeonglobe have offered them advertising on there so we will wait and see what happens Does anybody know if the RPRA fund amtrak in anyway or have a contract with them as it maybe possible with the backing of the RPRA that this courier service will be good for us pigeon people also these people if willing to give it a try again could help us when and if the stray centre gets up and running throughout the country
OLDYELLOW Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 they should get hold of Frank sheader hes one of the biggest senders of pigeons in my area also they should of tried Louella then they would be more noticed by the fancy
jimmy_84 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 I have just spoken to mike and if he gets a possitive response from us he will be willing to give it another try he has asked me to post the e-mail address on the site's and he would like anybody who will be willing to support him and use his service to let him know so come on guys and girls if we can show him it is wotrth it we may well be able to get all birds collected and delivered in safety instead of worrying about the dreaded AMTRAK nightmare stories amdeliveries@hotmail.com
OLDYELLOW Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 and am deliverys could not put a tender in ? if they did then they would be viable
jimmy_84 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 and am deliverys could not put a tender in ? if they did then they would be viable what does that mean
jimmy_84 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 well the ball is in our court now if we can get him to see it as a worty buisness he will give it another run time to see if the amtrak nightmare stories will carry on and if the people on here are going to give these a try so all is down to us now
OLDYELLOW Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 very true but if there scouting for buisness i think they need to contact the biggest users , the odd one here and there doesnt make for a big buisness plan
Guest chrisss Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 i left a message with this mob to get two pigeons sent down to me they never even replied back to me,perhaps i know why for,looks like we are stuck with amtrak [anthrax!!!!] on a national scale
OLDYELLOW Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 Tender an offer of a service and price you could suply the service for,.............................you offer a price for the service you are willing to provide someone and a price per unit in this case each consignment of pigeons
PIGEON_MAN Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 They advertised for 5 weeks in the BHW just got of the phone to the owner's wife and am trying to get hold of the owner to see if he is willing to give it another run they are on a much smaller scale than amtrak but the service is far better will keep you updated on the service Any idea which weeks it was in so I can cut it out and put up in our clubhouse.
jimmy_84 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 not sure what weeks they were mike said throughout may. I have done this of my own back and have no involvement with any person's at AMdeliveries i keep hearing stories about amtrak and remembered looking at a post about this service and got in contact with them as i will need to use the service in the future and was told that they no longer do the pigeon service to which i have responded by trying to help get us as a fancy a better service than the one currently available from amtrak before you put it up we need to get them to start the service back up again Jimmy
gangster Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 ive used them and posted up about them before good people...shame
jimmy_84 Posted August 8, 2008 Author Report Posted August 8, 2008 ive used them and posted up about them before good people...shame they are willing to give it another go if we can show them it will be worth it i just wanted to get us another service that we can rely on and who will take care of our birds whilst in their care
pjc Posted August 8, 2008 Report Posted August 8, 2008 I only remember seeing 1 small advert in the BHW. This has only been up and running for a very short time. A lot more promotion needs to be done, inthe press, sponsorship etc etc to get the name out there. Peter Bryant / RPRA did promote Phantom Flyer when he was going nationwide but who knows what happened to that! It maybe worth contacting RPRA. Phil
