Thinking of Hanging a Courier.
Ordered some blank banners the other day.
“They’ll be with you thursday, sir”
Excellent I thought, they’ll probably arrive early afternoon giving me enough time to apply vinyl, package them up and get them off to the customer in Liverpool in time for the weekend when they need them.
(I know I’m cutting it fine but the customer only placed the order on Monday, after much toing and froing betwwen us getting some proofs for some stickers approved)
After waiting until 6.30 last night for a delivery, still no banners, so I decide to call it a day.
Call the supplier this morning to check on the delivery. They ring me back fairly promptly to tell me that the courier will be with me this morning. The courier is gonna get such an earful.
I’m not going to ‘flame’ any companies here. Just needed a creative output for my venting. -

Hi
Had a similar problem last year. Ordered some business card box’s and was told by the supplier that they would ‘go out today sir, next day delivery’. Next day came and went. Chased up with supplier. Told, ‘They went ,sir. Yesterday. Should be with you later today’…………..Cut a long story short, they turned up about 5 days later. The delivery note was dated the day before I got delivery.
We don’t use that supplier now.
Know how you feel. Could hang some suppliers as well…………..
Hope you get them to Liverpool for tomorrow.
Regards

Hmmm 👿
I’m in the process of booting out the spectacularly useless Business Post or “Business Lost” as we call them.
I favor UPS for a whole host of reasons. They’ll be more expensive and I’ll pass the cost on to my customers but the extra few quid per consignment will be worth it to have the package actually bloody arrive on time and in one piece.
