The Interparcel & bikes / bike frames joke!

add595

Well after years of p*** poor customer service, but otherwise acceptable delivery, I have just realised what a joke Interparcel are.

Booked a bike frame to be sent through their economy service (UPS) last night. Got up early(ish) this morning to wait for them as they usually arrive at 08:30-09:30, no sign of them at 10:15... Checked emails and what do you know, apparently bicycle frames (as they are extremely fragile and prone to shattering I guess) are a prohibited item! And to make this even more hilarious, I have read UPS's prohibited items directly, on their own website, and it mentions nothing about bikes/frames being prohibited!

So this is a heads-up to anyone sending such items, which will be a few of you I guess.

Interparcel have lost a customer unless they provide a reasonable explanation for this.

Oh, and Parcel Monkey has gained more custom from me.

That's a crap joke.

This is a crudcatcher joke.......

Gazlar walking through the woods at night with FoxC.
FoxC: "These woods sure are scary!"
Gazlar: "Dunno what you're complaining about-I have to walk home alone..."

Or

What is 18 inches long, stiff and makes women scream at night?

Being a driver for ups this seems to be interparcel issue not ups as we do collect bikes and have a contact with royal dolton which I Suspose would come under the fragile bracket. This is surely just is for insurance purposes they use, of it's packed correctly it won't get damaged or so I tell my customers, not like some muppet that wanted to send a car bonnet with just a label on it not raping and asked will it be ok like that......

This thread needs to be moved to the Commuting forum.
