CityLink were unable to deliver my package so they've taken it to my local depot - 35 miles away

If I could go on the bike I would (traffic on the A1 at leeming bar is always ****ed) but it's an abba superbike stand so it defo won't fit on the rack without being dangerous

Pah, i have carried a small fridge on the back on the SV. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. As for Khrall, well he lives next to the citylink depot in Dartford (Thats my local) so thats why

Will be passing Leeming and York on Friday morning if it helps

haha this happened to me before, depot 20 odd miles away, i thought it was important so went to pick it up and it was a windows 98 installation cd they could of easily posted, i wasnt impressed

well most people would have had it sent to an adress where they knew somebody would be able to sign for it wouldn't they

For all their critics, this is one area where Royal Mail/ParcelForce have it hands down. They may not be perfect but this is why they are my carrier of choice - I'll pay an extra penny or two for my stamp if it helps keep all the local POs open.

It's 20+ miles each way for me to my local CityLink depot in Coventry. Other big name couriers are even further away and usually in places I never go. In my experience, only UPS do a good job with re-delivery service.

I've given up taking a day off work just so I'm home for the 30 secs it takes to receive a package. If they'd commit to 1/2 hour, or maybe even 1 hour, slot, I'd be able to help 'em by committing to being available to sign.

Work won't accept personal mail, citing cost (there are 1000+ people on site, that could be a lot of extra for the mail room to handle) and security reasons!

i used to have my parcels address to the city HQ in wolverhampton, then collect it on my way out of there at the end of my shift
now they moved to coventry and i got laid off, it was easy for me then, now not so easy

turns out they used to have a depot at one of the retail/industrial estates just round the ring road from me but closed it a little while ago to make it easier for all of north yorkshire to access the depot. nobs.
