TIGHTCHOKE Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Very simply, if nobody complains to the top of the company there will be no improvement as they will think they are doing a wonderful job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malkiserow Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Maybe we can help Lee by writing the letter for him to cut and paste to Mr Gunning? A starter .... Dear Mr Tex Gunning, Re Lost Firearm by TNT I am writing to complain about the loss of my firearm by your company. As I am sure you will agree, a loss of a firearm is a very serious matter and normally involves the police as I am also sure nobody in TNT want to be losing firearms which may fall into the wrong hands and end up on the streets of Britain. The first two points on your commendable list of "about us" from the TNT website are "Fast" and "Reliable". Regrettably, Tex, it is clear that your company has fallen short on both these two bedrocks of your parcel delivery business, and what is a parcel delivery service if it is not fast and reliable? If you are lost for words, Tex, I'll help you with this one: it is called the Royal Mail. Please can you explain to me how this matter is being investigated and what steps your executive team are putting in place to stop firearms being lost by your company. If you are having any difficulties with your investigation, may I suggest we send in Dom Littlewood to assist as he can sit in an outbuilding with some suitable cameras to really find out who is losing firearms and supporting the active criminal classes of Britain? ......... over to the next PW'er to modify and add to ...

CharlieT Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 If it was me I would ring them and demand to know exactly where my gun was they cannot hold it it is illegal as far as I know it smells to me thinks lost or stolen inform them that you are contacting flo to report it stolen they will be in deep **** Of course they can hold a parcel containing a firearm, how on earth could they carry on their buisness if such an act was illegal.

viking Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 I'm guessing he means as it shouldn't be out of your control for more than 72 hours. This gun has been on my cert now for over a week. And Iv still not recieved it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted March 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Why did you have to send your certificate to the seller?-it was being delivered to a RFD direct-or am I missing something here. Next time you ring the courier ask to speak to someone as high up as possible-when you get someone ask them to spell their name as you need to pass it on to the police firearms investigating officer who will be interviewing them asap-normally gets things moving. http://forums.pigeonwatch.co.uk/forums/topic/306451-new-laws-when-buying-a-shotgun/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbrowning2 Posted March 12, 2015 Report Share Posted March 12, 2015 The only problem I can see is that if in the end TNT decide that the complaints and pain of carrying firearms are not worth the gain and hence decided not to continue with the service we could have no method of transporting them by courier. Or do other couriers carry them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do other couriers carry them? as fister said parcelforce do as well but that is it. We have no end of yanks that buy guns at auction over here that are increasingly annoyed now that antique and deactivated guns are hard to move. No major carrier will take them and tnt won't unless you become an rfd which to handle guns that can be legally held with no licence seems a tad excessive. Options we have are pure air freight which is far more expensive or we do move some on our own vehicles. The last few being deactivated M16's which were hideously valuable due to being painted by some well known artists, but cost wise you wouldn't do it for normal guns. I think people might be surprised at the lack of concern over a lost gun with TNT certainly I am sure it has happened and probably far more than we might imagine.

oliver90owner Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 If this was for a 'guaranteed 24 or 48 hour service, clearly no payment should be expected for a service not provided. Pehaps there should also be stiff penalties for non-delivery on time - as these couriers can promise the service and simply not bother to fulfill their obligation.

I had a computer delivered with guaranteed 24 hour delivery, it took well over a week to get from London to Southampton. In the very very very very small print you'll there's actually no guarantee and no penalty/refund/apology for not meeting the advertised service.
