TNT Express,What a f*cking Joke

[bones]

Here i sit awaiting my new rotors to turn up and i find out this morning, that it takes 2 f#cking days to get something by road from Brissy to Townsville, :Bat1: f*ck i could beat that in my gyro ,,,if i had one that was flying, :chainsaw: frig i bet Muza could do it quicker a train, :friday: , not to mention the other 3 days from Sydney to Brissy, and another day to get it up here a whole 130 kms, and the level of service is just friggin mind blowing, :fingers: so this will definately be the last time i be getting anything sent by this EXPRESS company..... :evil2: :( :punch:
frig it's early but where me beer :censored: :blahblah:

BLOODY LUXURY!!!!!!!! (said with a Monty Python inspired pommie accent)

We here in Darwin can only dream of such prompt service.

When I was a boy in Townsville, we used to get cheap wine sent up by them so as to have a nice aged drop when it finally arrived.

Seriously Bones, I hope they arrive soon, in one piece and fly well.

Hey Bones

Mate I would love to look after your rotors for you I'll even go and pick them up for you mate :dance: :clap: :eyebrow: :joy: :hug: :chuckel: :lol: :wave:, Jee i reckon that they would go really nicely with that rotorless kit I have, only problem is I can't have it built by friday mate.

I know I haven't built a gyro but any quick build idea's will be appreciated, maybe the rotors will be here over the weekend and we can take them out to check that they have arrived this far intact.

Hope you have a good week mate and think of us up here with a new set of rotors to play with

Regards Mark

Some body's morning at the TNT call centre is about to go real bad, frig the bull shit excuse they tried to feed me was the frieght had to go through Darwin to get to QLD,,,, like DUHHHH, i know im not the sharpest tool in the shed, but frig sake, how dumb do they thing some people are,, i was told monday lunch time they were for delivery tuesday morn, then on tuesday they tell me they due for delivery on friday night, so i asked ummm where they getting delivered to ,, Darwin, then an agent from there will deliver they,, i said **** hope he dont have to pay the fuel, she said why??? cause im about 2500kms form Darwin,, it was at this piont they started to realise ,,, i was pissed, and the truck that took they went within 2 kms from my house on the way past.. :evil2: :Bat1:,,, not gonna be a nice week for some one, by the time i'm finished with them,, the worst bit is if they are damaged, i'm not gonna accept them, so then i'm up for about 3-4 weeks wait till, Jeff can make another set and get them up here..
Trust me if they think im pissed now, they havent heard anything yet.. :yikes:

[bones]

Well Just an update, ummmm i done about 1000kms in the last 36 hrs getting my machine home again, everything is full of dust, the trailer broke some U bolts on the back axle, completely tore a tyre to pieces because of it, and then had to spend 2 hrs underneath trying to get it right to get me home, i got a flat tyre on the car had to sit and wait 6 hrs for a servo to open to get fuel to get home again, never got laid last night, or and my rotors are still in Darwin because they dont work over the week end.
So to some up, i would advise you one and all
DO NOT USE THIS (EXPRESS)TRANSPORT COMPANY TO CARRY ANY THING, bloody hell i wouldnt let them take a used condom to the dump

Yep im pissed off big time now...

[russ]

hey bones......ya need some anger management pills :peace:

and why the hell would we work weekends.................that's fishin time...........geez

mite just ring the lads down town, and tell em you is pissed to the max...........bet they could then send it to PERTH........

settle down bro, lifes too short..............go with the flow :cheers:

[Birdy2]

You have my simpathy Bonsey.
been there too, just feel like killn sumthn ay.
If the gyro would fly, it would be a plesure to fly it half way round the world, just too see his f%$# eyes popn out as your chockn the bastered.
Unfortunatly, EVERY freight Co has at least one illiterate f%$#wit, and we always seem to have to deal with these worthless pices of wasted sperm. :evil2:

[bones]

Well hold the phone,,,,,, damn only took 14 days to get them found and delivered,,,hmmmmm only thing is :Bat1: :chainsaw: :censored: it seems that one of (probably)many trucks it was on was a bit full so they tired a piece of rope around the rotor box and dragged it for a hundered KMs or soo till they dropped something else off and could fit them in the back easier...
The main straps to the hub bar look like they been taken to with a grinder, or and Birdy dont think your the only one with costum aerodynamic curves in the corners of your rotors, cause i got them too now :dance: :peace: damn think Jeff must be maken them like now ayyy :giggle:
Orrrrr trying to laugh it through, :evil2:, cause im gonna go mad if i dont :crazyas: :beer: ok beer time...

[Brian]

I sympathize with you Bones, I lost 3 weeks work last year when I sent my rotors to Rob to make a new hub bar, Took 10 days to get the box from Mildura to Melbourne,[5 hours by car ] apparenty the truck needed a 'service' and the rotors sat on the back of a trailer ,forgotten about till I rang Rob to see if he had got them We were promised 7 days from Mildura to Bundy!!

Took another 7 days from Melbourne to Robs.

Changed transport company on the way back and even with a swap over at Brizzy, took 3 days return !! The transpot compay offered free freight back but we said "you got to be joking " !!

The rotors Jeff sent me got trashed by a fork lift too so they were unusable ...unless they are the set you got Bones :poke:

[Echo 2]

If I still had my truck Bones I would have got them to ya - without a mark on them. Unfortunately I've heard dozens of stories like that & could'nt work out how half these f#&kwits are still in business :punch:.
I had a couple of lengths of 2"x2.5" & a bag of AN bolts sent down to Parkes from Rosco on a TOLL truck . Well after about 2 weeks it turned up after going from Broken Hill to Adelaide to Melb. to Syd . to Orange then to Parkes !!!!! The pr1cks must have sat a pallet on them & and the bolts were missing :tears:.
Nobody gives a f@*k any more.

[russ]

Personaly know of a case where trucking company damaged goods in transit, said to the guy sorry mate, but as you had no insurance cover there is nothing we can do for you

guy had brother inlaw who was a legal guy, they came back at the freight company with.........see you in court, by the way we don't need insurance, we is hitting you under "duty of care"

a little bit of argy bargy takes place............freight company payed up......

[ remember..........They have insurance [ freight co ] they prefer not to claim on it ]

[bones]

I could have put in a claim as i have photos of whats left of the box and the damage to the rotors but, you see its Jeff that has to put in the claim cause it was his account the job was booked to, and i dont want to stuff him around like that so its easier to just let it go :evil2:

[Tsemler]

Bonessssssssssssssssss

If only i saw ya post before hand, just recieved me aluminium today and it was threw TNT what Fu**heads :chainsaw:, when it arrived half the packaging was missing and to top it off the exposed area was either scratched or F%$king Dinged on the corners :anger:. Being that i didnt have the account either its upto the people that i got it from to see if they can claim, oh well i got about 7 metres of aluminium out of 12

They must be paying these tossers Peanuts because they sure are F*^%ing MONKEYS!!!!! :no:

Moral to the story DONT use TNT :flamed:

Semler

[niquenaque]

Semler,

If it was damaged you should have refused the delivery, point blank. Take it back to the local depot an complain to the manager, explain what it was intended for and why the damage is so critical to the use of the alloy, eg, fatigue raisers, unmarketable finishes, etc.

Usually you have a fight on your hands when it gets referred to the insurance mob, but what you should do is return it to the supplier so they can fight it out with TNT, if they have a physical sample at least they can then tell them to bend over so they can put it where the sun don't shine.

I'd check on what TNT's shipping instructions say as they may specify that the package has to protect the goods - was it marked 'fragile' at all, or 'top load only'?? These things will allow them to wiggle out if they feel so inclined. If these things have not been put on the package and they should have been then the issue falls upon the shipper to rectify - you paid for the goods to be delivered to you in a marketable condition and they have not arrived as such, then the shipper is in breach of his contract to you - so it is his problem.

Hope it goes in your favour.

Cheers,

Nick.

[Birdy2]

Nik, ever had a set of AKs delivered?
Ol Jeff puts top load only, fragile, AIRCRAFT ROTORS INSIDE, even a very diplomatic plea to them illiterate f%cwits to take special care coz peoples lives depend on the safe delivery, and they still f%c itup. :chainsaw:

[niquenaque]

Birdman,

I wish I could say that I did, like about april of last year, but, alack and alas, not to be..

I have no doubt that Jeff does the right thing, just probing for holes that appear to be well covered indeed by Mr H-S. As Semmler has said, his recourse is to take it up with the sender, who has a contract with TNT [And that contract was to deliver the goods as packaged to the stted address - if the receiver has received and signed for them in good order and condition then he has a problem - watch out for this when you receive goods from a courier!], and the only way to do this is to send the goods back in their damaged state, because that is not what was paid for. Taking photos of the damage and sending an email to their sales division may help, especially if it ends up in the managers office that TNT are being slagged on the 'net, this sort of publicity makes them nervous...

Hope this helps,

Nick.

[Sonnyj]

Well Ya'll
I got my new Rotor Hawks in a couple of weeks ago, and they were 98% so I recon I got lucky. The box was marked like Birdy said, but when the " Over Night Express" SHELA truck driver took them off the truck, my missus says she just dropped the crate flat on the asphalt drive. And you should'a seen the card board box the hub bar came in, it was beat to hell but the bar was wraped in about 10 lbs of news paper, so it didn't have a scratch on it--------WHEW.
So I recon it's the same all over the world, AYE.
Cheers Ya'll
Sonny

Geoff must have a heap of insurance claim forms on his desk as the first rotors I got from Geoff were damaged.
Its a shame that trucking companies dont take a bit of care with stuff, surely its not that hard to take a little care.
Then again, you only got to watch the bag handlers at the airport for 5 minutes to see the mind set these people have got. Must be a special breed. :Bat1: :Bat1:

[marko66]

I know how you feel bones
I rang up a freight company to get a gearbox delivered from sa to the nt and they offered to just charge me for the courier to get to their depot don't you just hate that mate :dance: :wave:

Regards Mark

[niquenaque]

Maybe they should be refered to as 'Frucking' companies..

Cheers,

Nick.

[Birdy2]

Theyyyyyy............ dun it agin. ::)

F%$#wits managed to drop the blades off, and accordn to ol mate, they are still streight :yikes:, but of course the hub bar is on its way to zamzibar or sumwhere on its first f&^%$n lap around the world. :punch:
Amazn these morons can make any money at all do'n wot they do. :chainsaw:
Wot sorta illiterate clown dont understand 1 of 2, and 2 of 2, with the same adress on um. :crazyas:
