westy Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 they have failed for the third day to do what they said and deliver the cycle wings I ordered...on the off chance its with a courier does anyone know who they use? Long shot anyone got a spare nearside cycle wing bracket fitting the ali upright if not another three days of driving down the ****ter Cheers.

Phssthpok Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Judging from the length of time it took my manifold to arrive I think they must use a horse and cart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdog Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 Parcelforce for smallish items ( for me anyway) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moomin Posted August 2, 2002 Share Posted August 2, 2002 A lethal combination of normal Royal Mail, occasional Parcel Force for some things, and ANC for larger stuff... In my experience, whoever is delivering have been ok, and sometimes things don't necessarily get sent when it is implied they might be (treading carefully here... the helicopters will be circling soon...). But it all seems to get here eventually, and not always the instant I need the part to hand, but hey, life sucks sometimes! Where abouts are you based? I'm in Cambridge with some spare brackets (for now) if it helps? Moom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy Posted August 3, 2002 Author Share Posted August 3, 2002 thanks for the offer Moomin but Ive calmed down now and will wait for them to deliver it - especially as the weather is crap here at the moment. Im sure Phssthpok will be along in the minute informing me that it would of been delivered on time if I lived in Oxford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phssthpok Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 Im sure Phssthpok will be along in the minute informing me that it would of been delivered on time if I lived in Oxford Unfortunately no, it’s a language thing: I’ve never mastered the colloquial Brummie used by the Westfield boys (can't get my nose around it) and they can’t understand my Australianisms spoken with an Oxford accent; I think I've asked for a stainless manifold and they send me a new manual - 3 weeks later!!!

moomin Posted August 3, 2002 Share Posted August 3, 2002 I originate about 5 miles from the Westfield factory - and I still get wrong parts... Top marks to them for getting the urgent parts to me overnight last night. Bottom marks to me for shearing the temp sensor and therefore preventing myself from being able to start the engine tomorrow Moom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
