As some of you know I bought a manual conversion from a forum member here and arranged a local courier ( quite a big outfit) to lift it under a 48 hour delivery terms of carriage. Pallet was lifted on Wednesday morning for delivery today and they've just emailed me to day the trailer was still in England and they are expecting to get it out to me for delivery on Monday. What a shower of pr--ks.

So, presumably you can expect a discount as they will not have met their 48hr delivery commitment ?

Im waiting to see what they are doing as they are blaming the sub contractor on the other side for not getting to the docks on time, even though I believe the parts weren't very far the docks to transport them. bloody disgrace when two mechanics are geared up and waiting for parts to do the conversion this weekend.

They're contracted with you separately and with their own sub-contractors separately. I would expect them to provide you with a discount for breaking contract terms and recoup any loss from their sub-contractors.

 

Not your problem if they sub-contract and it goes wrong. That's what business insurance is for.
