Title: Parcel Deliveries?
Post by: Mike Barrio on 05/09/2016 at 10:28

The shipping address for one of my parcels today is a brewery ....... Should I deliver this one personally?

yes! What's the brewery?


I've had a terrible experience this week trying to send a rod to another user of this forum (he's been very patient, with me at least!). Terrible service from a courier broker website. So far, it's taken 10 days to get from aberdeen to Perth... it only has to get to GLenrothes... 95 miles, door to door... I could have walked it there faster.

One of my parcels took 3 days to reach the customer in Mexico recently, another took 2 months to reach Chile :z8

To be fair, they all usually arrive in 5 to 10 working days worldwide, but every now and then one is delivered by snail :z4

And you learn things, for example anything posted to Austria needs (Europe) in the address, or it will go via Australia :z4
