Parcelforce time? :S

[Jonny]

Going to post this in cue section as it's kind of related

Got a cue off ebay on friday and so delivery didn't happen on the sat and sun which is fair enough however on the parcel track section, the cue has been sat and sorted in the hub since 6am :S think it arrived at the hub on friday too.....

Just wondering when it'll be out? if anybody has used parcelforce before?

Be patient - its always better to wait
(Should be tomorrow ide say- about 11.30 am )

suppose so 11:30 sounds good but will probably take a good while to get the package sorted so i might get it wednesday, ah well

Depends what service used really Parcel force 24 or Parcel Force 48..........if posted on a Friday stands a chance for Monday on 24 service, posted on a Saturday morning will probably be Tuesday no chance for Monday on 24.........48 service day after each mentioned.........

Good luck with Parcel Farce!! They have a nasty habit of running over, using tubes as javalins and generally not caring. Hope it arrives all safe and well unlike a few cues I have here!

[Jonny]

lol yea i've read some horror stories, it's in a hard cue craft case so hopefully it won't get damaged. As for the case, i'm not so sure, but then if the case is damaged................................... ah well we'll have to wait and see

Hope it arrives in better condition than this one did. I bought the cue and case from a nice old chap, but he literally wrapped it in brown paper and sent it off via TNT.. they shouldn't have accepted it in that condition it was obviously going to get trashed. Didn't have the heart to tell the old gent either (hope he's not on here!), too soft for me own good at times...



The cue had come out of the case and looked like a dog had chewed it when it arrived (its now at craftsman being filled in and refinished as we speak but god knows what it'll come out like). The frustrating thing was I waited in the day before for the cue, popped out to the shop for 15mins at lunch time to find a card in my letterbox! When I received the cue the next day the driver said he didn't know how it happened the cue was fine when he took it back to the depot the night before grrrrrrrr!

...ouch !...

[perpetualboredom]

...ouch !...

Yup.. I now send my packaging guide out to anyone I buy a cue from, much safer. Fingers crossed for the Alec Brown!
