England, Wales and Glasgow run 30th & 31st May 09

[SWAnimalCouriers]

Hi All,

As above, I am planning a route covering everything from the south coast to Glasgow.

At the moment the route and the run itself is only a provisional and subject to confirmed bookings.

Price £40.00 per delivery address/collection address. IE any one item from point A to B is £40 but if point a had something to go to another address it would be an additional £40. Hope this makes sense.

I'm using an Astravan so at the moment I could perhaps fit a small viv in or two but I'd rather not as they will limit space.

There are currently no provisions for heating as this will be a day time trip and although the distance covered is quite substantial it will not be cold in the van at the time. I do not tend to heat reps during transport as it can quite often make the animal active and alert and can stress them in transport. If heating will be required it could be arranged send me a PM and I will see what I can do.

Also, following some recent problems various other couriers have had, once I have finalized the route, on Friday 29th @ 5pm, I will contact you with a time. I can/will budget for a 15 minutes stop at each pick/up delivery. I cannot wait any longer than this as it will interfere with other peoples jobs.

If you feel you may need me at the pick up/delivery point for longer than 15 minutes please let me know in advance.

This is how it all works for the customers point of view:

• Contact me with the details of the trip, just rough details will do.
• I'll then let you know if I can fit the job in to the route.
• Then once the details of the sale have been confirmed amongst the buyer and seller contact me with the Full name, Addresses and contact numbers (pref. Mobile numbers) and I can book the journey in.
• I'll the call both parties on Friday 29th to confirm the details, that the courier job is still needed and I'll give you a more accurate ETA at both points.
• I'll call both parties when I am an hour away from them.
• Once collected I will text the receiver to let them know it is on board.
• Once delivered I will text the sender to confirm all delivered ok.
• All animals need to be labeled with brief emergancy information.
• Any delays on route will be communicated by text.

Boxes/containers are not supplied as standard but can be, in most cases, by prior arrangement. The boxes the animals are being sent in will be placed on shredded paper in the back of the van. This is for a little insulation and prevent any boxes from moving in the back of the van.

You can contact me via:

• Phone/Text (see signature)
• Email (see signature)
• PM's via RFUK

PS

One person has said that they were worried about booking due to the date being over a week away and the chance of it being canceled.

PLEASE NOTE IF A JOB IS CONFIRMED WITH ME I WILL DO IT. I guarantee that it will be done, even if it means I make a lose. If I have agreed to do it I WILL!

Hi Guys,

Loads more interest in this today!

We have next to no space for Northwards journeys but PM me details and I'll see what I can do.

Still have quite a bit of space on this at the moment.

I can see this run being full by the end of the weekend so if you have anything you would like to book in be quick!

Steve
