Hello all.The courier came this afternoon to deliver 2 Grabba, 4 1/2 Lb makeweights, and a free complimentary tape measure.Unfortunately, only the tape measure was produced. What happened to the rest of the order, I have no idea.The driver was the most unhelpful person I've ever dealt with, and was in a hurry to go. Mightons told me that ANC would phone me shortly, but they never did.Mightons were very helpful, and will be re-sending that order at no extra cost.What say you?Sylvain.

Carrier companies are forever changing... what might be a good one this year may be a crap one next year.What may be an excellent one in one part of the country may be appalling in another.In terms of crapness I'd rank "Omega (in)securicor" alongside "Nightfright" as the worst of the worst.We have been using Interlink for a few years now, and their service is excellent though their accounts side of things was beyond impossible, although they _seem_ to have improved things lately.The rest, well, from a customers point of view, the carrier is only as good as the final contact i.e. the delivering driver.You can always complain about the driver to either your local depot or the head office if you feel somone needs to take action.

ANC couriers How do you rate them?

The message from "Pet_@_www.gymratz.co.uk_;¬)" contains these words:

Though our local Parcel Force bods are pretty good, too. Friendly and helpful. Not as good as the Royal Mail though - our local regular bloke knows where I'm likely to be if not at home and makes alternative arrangements for parcels.

I've always found our local UPS drivers (different ones for home and work) pretty good. First failure I had was last week; the web tracking had a euphemism for 'the driver forgot to load the package on the lorry'. It was 2-3 day delivery and still arrived in 2 days.

Royal Mail...I pay about a pound a week for a PO box. Worth every penny; anything I can get by normal mail, Special Delivery or Standard Parcel goes there. It's only 400 yards to the depot and I pass it every morning!

It goes further than that with PF. Not only was the driver a regular pita that couldnt be arsed to bring the parcel so far as the front door, but the backup company was every bit as bad. PF are surely due the bottom feeding courier of the year award.
