alex wight Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 as a small business i use Saltire Couriers all the time, and see George every week at some point. I,m just off the phone to George and he is very saddened that this has happened. He has ceased work with G & R, and since then he has received threatening calls from them. In my own opinion only Georges reputation is being attacked from G & R, which is very sad also. I write this in support of Saltire Couriers, as a truer gentleman you will ever meet, and the work George does for the fancy is second to none again in my opinion. I hope this gets resolved soon. alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankdooman Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Don't know any of the couriers but when you have to depend on someone else to del. you leave yourself open to things like this but that's what ins. Is for if they both have it ??? This was always going to happen it's how it's dealt with from now on that counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGPETE Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hi Guys, yeah bit of a kick in the balls and feel bad as much for Joe who has gone out of his way to arrange and send the birds down. I have never transported pigeons before so dont really know the in's and outs but I know about other livestock and how transporting any animal had to be managed carefully and as fast as possible. G&R said the birds would come towards end of week, i thought this very slow as i have driven to scotland myself before in about 13 hours so thought 3-4 days was excessive. They said thurs or fri, then they said fri first thing 11am latest. Then i was told between 2&4pm delivery. Then the driver tolde he's on his way to me but in norfolk (2.5-3 hours from me). So he arrived at mine just after 7pm but a bird short. When i called no answer, so i text and explained the situation they say Saltire gave them only 5. Obviously the money side is a real pain in the ass, also being a hen short now. But my real concern is where the poor bird is. Must be in a box somewhere in someones van or unit. To add insult to injury i googled g&r tonight and they are only 75 mins drive away max so cant grasp why they waited 4+ days to deliver. I had another delivery with high flyer couriers from wales only took 24 hours. Their courier said he has picked birds from scotland and dropped to my sort of area or even london in 24hr time frame. The birds that have made it safely from Joe are fantastic quality though, best ive ever seen and proud to have such birds. Just a shame things have gone this way. G&r have text asking for joes number so what happens next is anybodies guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
