Janzen Boulton and undelivered YETI ARC X

This thread has made me happy for two reasons:

1) It looks like the OP is going to get his Arc-X

2) We’ve FINALLY got a valid reason to discuss those hill farms around the fringes of the industrial parts of Lancashire!

I have been on a selling spree recently. I have learnt that it is incredibly important to:

(a) find a box to post the stuff in before offering it for sale (bike boxes especially are a faff to get hold of); and

(b) schedule time to get to the Post Office – this is a dull, sordid task that it is easy to put off.

Or use myhermes- fantastic service. Or parcelmonkey.

I’ve used Parcelmonkey before, it worked really well. In fact they really got me out of a bind because my package (a snowboard) was too long to be taken by all the couriers I could think of (ParcelForce, UPS, FedEx etc.)
myHermes have been slated on here before- are they better now? Or was it all unjustified in the first place?

Or use myhermes- fantastic service

although they’ve just missed collecting a parcel on two separate days for me and I’ve rebooked with someone else and got a refund.

I always drop off at my local corner shop- cheaper too.

Never had a problem with myhermes.

You mean as in Collect+? Or do myHermes do that as well? I’ve great (and cheap) service with Collect+

Myhermes collect or do store drop off. I’d have no issues using myhermes, but all local shops are Collect+.

Funny you should mention – I’ve just had to re-collect a package from my local store as his “Hermes machine” is broken. I’ve informed the purchaser and will take it to smother store today.

Other than that, Hermes and the collect from store option have been excellent, certainly far less gaff than Royal Mail.

Loads of local stores (to me) are now myhermes drop off points. Same as Collect+.

Tell us about the farms-bit!

not much to discuss til thursday may aswell post some guff about the hill farms around the fringes of the industrial parts of Lancashire

Got a bike yet?

As a hill-farmer on the borders of Lancashire, I completely agree about being on the edge of a breakdown. I haven’t posted a bike in ages either. In fact never.

Or use myhermes- fantastic service.

They are the guys that put your parcel by your front door and post you a “we missed you” card through the door, without actually bothering to ring the bell or knock on the door.

Some hours later you open the door and find that your expensive item has been sitting in full view of passers by for several hours.

Yep, great.

It’s DPD who provide great service.

No, that’s City Link…

Got a bike yet?

Patience. The will it/won’t it arrive threadmageddon, starts tomorrow.

Think i’d video the opening of the box incase something ain’t right…..

OP, please post up the tracking details so we can all follow in real time

oooh, biscuits !

No, that’s City Link…

No no no. City Link would never put your parcel by the front door, they’d chuck it there from the roadside.

Hooray! Thats 2 of us getting a new bike tomorrow IF the vendors come good on original mistakes. Fingers crossed.

OP, please post up the tracking details so we can all follow in real time

I wish it was DPD delivering, then we could track the guy down the street.

AND KNOW HIS NAME!

Just read the thread for first time and got all excited thinking I was going to get to the outcome then remembered it is still Wednesday. Good luck op, I’m rooting for you!

I wonder if Herr Boulton recognizes himself ?

So has it arrived yet?
Is it marked as “out for delivery”?
I’m so excited to find out what turns up
My guess is it will be the bike, as described, but due only to the fact he’s been rumbled and so much info found out about him

STW whipped into an empty box frenzy of anticipation

I want to see a photo of the new bike…

an empty box frenzy of anticipation

Any toddler will tell you that the box is the best bit.

I hope the OP gets a happy ending. And his bike turns up safe and sound.

Haven’t you got more pressing matters to deal with Kryton?

Distraction is the mother of all luxury’s today tomhoward…

Pulls up a chair.
Pours a brew.
Readies the ‘f5’ key striking finger…

DAMMIT!

Got to go to a meeting…
