4 Wheeled L&B Coach Kit
- Thread starter JimmyB
- Start date
The compensation on Tracked 24 & 48 has been reduced..Just ordered one of these from a well know kit supplier, however a little shocked at the check-out to find p&p was £12.00. As Mrs B said it is Christmas.
Will let you know how it goes, should keep me quiet during the cold wet days when I am not fishing
Guaranteed by 1pm,has £750 compensation for a parcel up to 1kg for £11.25.
So 75p for packaging costs, seems reasonable, through the eyes of a trader..

Yes, I agree, so if I get it by 1 pm tomorrow, or even Monday, not bad value. But last time I used this trader it took 5 days, not even 48 hr tracked, which is £3.50! and the invoice says "Standard Delivery (3-5 business days)"!!

That probably means they're using Tracked 24 and that they know, from experience, it'll rarely be delivered on time.
To be fair...
I find T24 to be quite reliable for the size packages I tend to send out..
A5-ish padded envelopes or 6x4x2 (inches) boxes..
If I am sending a loco-sized package, it goes guaranteed, to get the cover..

Yep, the receiving ends vary, as @casey jones snr and I frequently moan
I have had one package that I know hasn't got to the recipient, this year. - Well, I assume this year...
I had the tape, and my return postcode details, obviously from a box, not a padded envelope returned to me in the sealed plastic bag they send these things in...
No other paperwork, packaging, or any of the goods. - So impossible to make a claim, as I don't know what to claim for?
I have been working backwards, trying to find who has not received their order. - You would think they would have chased it up?
I *think* I may have found the person, but it would only take someone who has had their order to say they haven't, and I would be none the wiser.. - I can't go back months and check the tracking information, though I have had some help from Royal Mail on this.
I don't want to identify anyone, but it looks like it may go back to the National Show?

Of course they be good. They'm in Devon in'em.
Just given myself a live steam Christmas present thanks to Simon's endless patience and guidance after the recent Exeter show.

Late update, the kit arrived on Thursday, seven days after ordering it, postage was just over that £5.00, less than half of what I paid, in a used jiffy bag, and the kit come in a plastic bag. Been busy, so it has not been opened yet, but when I do and start the build I will keep you informed.

One of IP's ? Have built quite a few of their Darjeeling kits. Be thankfull they don't use Evri to save on postage or aren't available through Amazon (deliver free to my village piston office !). My local postie even knows where to find me when I'm not at home (!) Now that's what I call service.
