Travelling from Bedford to the Berkshire area today? Need a parcel collecting from USAutomotive.

TIA

Best person would be PhilO as he works just down the road from them, but as far as I know he's not headin berkshire way today, although you never know, he is a mileage whore!

He's heading to MK tonight isn't he ?

I'm guessing that's as close as he's going to Berks . . . ?

Hmm damnation - if i didn't have to sort the caravan out tonight i would pop up and nab em...

Clare - if phil picks em up from USAuto, could/would you drive to MK (or graemes @ Brackley to collect - a possibility?)

I could do but I really needed it this afternoon to enable us to sort out the van tonight. If it can't be done then I'll just have to get them to deliver next day.

Yeah although i'm driving mine daily at the mo (costing a fortune) - but that's still besides the point. We bought her to drive her - not to let her sit there.....

I would've thought USAutomotive should be doing everything they can to get the bits to me considering I told em Monday it was quite urgent! But no - just quoted me £90 shipping

Yeah

might remember that when we get our exhuasts ordered through them - perhaps you could pick em up for us and we'll pick em up from you

Oh well i'm gonna call em back and say ship next day - just means another day not driving her

thanks anyway peeps.

Bloomin got a delivery of bathroom suite on saturday - delivery time quoted between 9-6 so won't be able to drive her that day either

oh well - i'm sure i'll get to drive her soon

That's a corriour rate with US auto's mark-up on it I'd guess.

Thats wayyyy more than a normal rate!

Might be worth trying to arrange a courier yerserlf clare??

Pod · « **Reply #20 on:** August 16, 2006, 11:48:49 am »

I'd have thought bunging in a taxi would be cheaper than that!

I'm hoping the end links I've just ordered from them don't cost that much to deliver...

a91_formula · « **Reply #21 on:** August 16, 2006, 12:01:28 pm »

Bloomin eck - just rang a local courier co and they quoted £84.51 + VAT

looks like i'm gonna have to wait

ianjpage · « **Reply #22 on:** August 16, 2006, 12:18:20 pm »
