drift_bear Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Always used Paisley freight, no issues and quick delivery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Thanks Marcus, i'd forgot about Paisley Freight. They'll deliver it for £28 but wont cover the item as it's on their "sent at owners risk" list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Mark Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Another vote for Paisley Freight. They shipped a Trial Rear bumper down to me from the Highlands without any issues or damage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus GTE Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Wow I just had some glass headlights that I got from a member he used paisley freight and they turned up yesterday smashed. That sucks. I don't work for them or anything but I've used them about 5 times and never had a prob. Including sending uk spec headlights. I packaged them well right enough.

Sorry to hear that mate. No company is ever going to be perfect on every delivery. You have obviously just been unlucky. I once had a courier company deliver 3 of 4 wheels and claim only 3 were sent by the sender. A few calls and alot of arguing and no4 mysteriously appeared at their depot lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Packaging is key, but even with the best packaging, mishaps do happen. I'm sure they offer extra insurance to cover the item in the even of damage. Standard cover is included but is not worth the paper it's written on. Used Paisley Freight 8 times now, and they seem to be doing the job.

sidewaysdan Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Yeah I would usually collect but they came from Scotland and the sender packaged them really well he couldn't have done any better, but the the box turned up quite damaged and then when I opened the box :-( spouse it's just unlucky. He has sent them pics of the damage and they are looking into it so let's see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never had a problem but it is all down to packaging 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
