sapper756 Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Have had a poor experience of service from http://www.shuonline.co.uk/utilities/images/spds01.png this week, a fellow fancier contacted them to collect a bird from me earlier this week, because of my work commitments, I arranged the bird be collected from an alternative address. All was arranged, the fancier who I left the bird with, waited in all day, and no one turned uphttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0179-headbang.gif the fancier who arranged the courier, tried on numerous occasions to contact them to find out what had gone wrong, but was unable to get throughhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0179-headbang.gif so we have arranged to hand over the bird by another means. Has anyone else experienced this with this courier service, which our very own SHU recommend on their web site?http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/cry-blow.gif
Delboy Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 This is very bad news for the sport in Scotland as SPDS are a heavily used courier service. I must say that this is the first complaint ive heard about them.Hope they havent went out the game.

sapper756 Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Posted January 8, 2011 Sounds like this may have been a one offhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif so hopefully that is the casehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0126-nerd.gif
ALF Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Sounds like this may have been a one off so hopefully that is the case BRIAN IS THERE A DEPOT NEAR YOU? THE REASON I AM ASKING IS THEY WILL TAKE PIGEONS AT THE DEPOT ANYTIME BEFORE THE VAN LEAVES TO GO TO WHATEVER PART OF THE COUNTRY???

Williedoo Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 I should have got a bird yesterday (next day ) from SPDS but it did not arrive. I phoned Jean at the Aberdeen office who was very helpfull and that she new the bird had missed the Aberdeen conection and was in East Kilbride.Collected it at 6.30 this morning from the depot in Aberdeen, these things can happen as the bird had to come from Leeds.

Roundo Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 I've used their services a few times and never once (touch wood) had any trouble with them, but that's my local depot, so I can't speak for other ones. I could say the same about Amtrak when it was on the go, my depot was great but I'd heard horror stories about others.......just your luck. Colin.

JohnQuinn Posted January 18, 2011 Report Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) Have had a poor experience of service from this week, a fellow fancier contacted them to collect a bird from me earlier this week, because of my work commitments, I arranged the bird be collected from an alternative address.

Has anyone else experienced this with this courier service, which our very own SHU recommend on their web site? Thought they were rubbish as well, never arrived when they said they would and when they did get here they had no box or other means of carrying the doo safely. So i hunted them and arranged it with KSM Couriers. Mark Anderson is the guy's name and he arrived promptly and had baskets with drinkers on them in the back of his car. The guy is a pigeon man and knows what its all about. Give him a turn if you can. You won't be disappointed if your service from him equals the service i gotTel:- 0161 797 6723 9am-4pm, Evenings on 07854540947 or Fax him on 0161 797 6727. E-mail ksmcouriers@btconnect.com. If you don't need him just now take his details down for future Ref. Edited January 18, 2011 by JohnQuinn
