Carrier Rant

[Wossi]

I swear we have no luck with carriers at work. Last month our Italian Suppliers sent some goods over to us in 6 seperate boxes, 1 week later we finally get the last box. That was with UPS and we told them not use UPS again.

Fast Forward to this week. The works again send 6 boxes to us, 1 of which is really important and guess what. 1 box is missing. This time it's TNT and they currently have no idea where this sixth box is I was expecting it in yesterday as I need to get 1 item in that box to Southern Ireland in the hope of securing a million pound contract.

I'm now banging my head in frustration and ready to all Punisher on someone's ass

Why don't you arrange to have them on one pallet, rather than 6 separate boxes? Such an important package should be sent via Same/Next day guaranteed delivery so that the package is scanned at every stop/check point.

Maybe the solution is for you to suggest you personally goto Italy each time to supervise the boxes back home.

In the spirit of getting a good job done of course.

I was thinking when I read the thread title **** you have No luck with Couriers then I read your first line

That would make sense, unfortunately the Italians we deal with don't seem to posses any kind of common sense. I've asked them time and again to make sure everything is in 1 box or at least wrapped up together, but I swear they do this just to annoy me.
