Josh Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Finding a UK TT is tricky enough - just ask Josh. He'll be along in a mo! Sorry josh! Easier than taking a slash when you're offered one that's only 5 minutes away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L18msy Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Buy a Reliant Robin and you're sorted! Seriously, any updates? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross C Posted April 25, 2012 Author Share Posted April 25, 2012 Buy a Reliant Robin and you're sorted! Seriously, any updates? The Robin is my backup plan Phoned them today and was told to sit and wait for them to call me when they had anything to report back. So just have to wait which is a right pain in the backside. Going to start putting together a claim as they should have found something by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross C Posted April 27, 2012 Author Share Posted April 27, 2012 Rather delayed update. Direct courier solutions only instructed City-Link to pick up 3 alloys and tyres. This baffles me as I clearly paid for the 4 alloy service. I got seriously frustrated and passed this over to my dad only this morning, who is alot better at these things and asked him to help. He has just got off the phone to me and I will have my 4th alloy delivered Monday morning What has happened is that for some reason, as nly 3 were instructed to City-Link, the fourth has been ignored and sent to a storage depot for items in these sort of situations. My dad spoke to a woman very high up in Direct Courier Solutions and she took it upon herself to get onto City-Link and find out what went wrong but tbh I no longer care as long as it is the correct alloy that turns up. Morale of the story is: If in doubt, pass it onto your short-tempered dad who gets things done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I sold a set of wheels and sent them through DCS. The buyer refused to sign for them at the other end because they turned up with only three!!! When I went online to track them it said the other alloy had went to another depot and a few hours later it was signed for by someone else! I went mental on the phone to DCS but to their credit they sorted it and the buyer had all four wheels the following day! They are a broker and it's not their fault as they outsource the work to big "reputable" couriers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
