davewh100 Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 yep your post is a bit short on info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R6demon Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 Sorry guys - its a pigeon magnet from one of the lads on here, he lives in Louth and I am in St Neots and he does not want to post. We have a relays section on other forums I am on, which allows people to move items around the country FoC, I'm guessing that its not the norm here LOL! Could get them to Spalding. Moondog, thank you, do you go near Newark at all as I have a mate who could get them back from Newark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbw1shrops Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 That's not a bad idea a relays section 🤔 Would help a few people out even if you had to pay some petrol money would probably work out cheaper than post in some cases Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't charge for it either, the guys do it to help others out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainBeaky Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 The Hilux Surf forum does this, usually referred to as the Surf Train - moving items a big as engines and gearboxes around the country for free. New sub-forum: the PW Relay? Pigeon Post? Or even Carrier Pigeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyefor Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) My brother is in Southampton. I'm in North Bedfordshire. Could I relay a smack in the mouth that he soooo deserves? (Back on subject - a relay system would be a good idea). Edited February 21, 2017 by Eyefor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deershooter Posted February 21, 2017 Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 It's not going to work some one will send some thing and it will arrive broken then the problem starts , it's far better to have a day out clay bashing and pick it up yourselves or combine it with a visit to 2-3 gunshops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R6demon Posted February 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2017 It all works on trust, I always package everything up as I normally would. If your concerned use Royal Mail. I have personally been relaying for 10 years or so and never experienced an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
