not sure if george would be able to cover the whole country , as it would take a load of vans and driver to do that

[eastcoaster]

DISASTER have 2 birds to pick up in Derbyshire,

Have ye got a clean drivin licence Rab?

[Ian McKay]

Well we complained enough about Inter Link and Amtrak they were not as bad as made out

 

Yes I know Amtrak also went bust but had a lot of complaints lodged with the RPRA :emoticon-0179-headbang:

[OLDYELLOW]

bad news indeed

[sapper756]

Not good news to hear yet another business go bust, but it does not surprise me, as the cost of fuel is high, and folks want a service for a low price, it is becoming increasingly difficult to retrieve birds, from around the UK, it,s time the Unions tackle this problem. JMO

Spot on , the unions cannot threaten us for not sending for them if there are no decent means of retreiving .

[Delboy]

The Unions could be employing people to cover the collection/delivery of all stray pigeons at a low cost and any pigeons purchased from individuals or studs etc to be collected,would simply require a larger charge.

[THE FIFER]

the big problem is non fanciers having strays, Unions should have fanciers in different areas, the SHU have my number which they give to non fanciers reporting birds in my area also they gave the area RSPCA my number,

[Daisymay]

Asked George the other day to pick up a bird in Durham,he said it was not viable for him to do so.

[REDCHEQHEN]

They're pretty unreliable at the moment - a club member has tried to get a pigeon picked up from the South to be brought back to the North East and every courier so far has refused

[just ask me]

the problem is that its near impossible to make money if only transporting a few birds on a long journey

 

how the problem is solved i just do not know a few have tried so far to try cover all the uk a near impossible job i think

[THE FIFER]

thats it, they cant travel long distance to pick up 1 bird ,

[JADE]

Only way to cover whole country would be a network which was why Interlink and Amtrak were so handy even if not always reliable. maybe the RPRA could approach DHL or TNT but I think they have been asked before and dont want to touch livestock.

[maverick]

The only way these snaller couriers can survive is by higher prices or by doing a relay system amoung a few of them IMO

[just ask me]

think uk pigeon couriers have started a new company Northern Couriers Ltd dont ask me why there a site in all up

[yeboah]

No wonder everyone in this so called country is struggling insured our works premises as per usual they accepted the cash then sent through some crazy points afterwords one being we bag all our sawdust every night and sit it outside in the street its a joinery business expletive remove and the place is full of timber can see me driving up in the morning and the kids have kicked it half way down the f- street ,time all these red tape neds were dumped in the english channel,better of no working me thinks
