Great North Run (and back south) Sun 07/06

[SWAnimalCouriers]

Hi All,

Due to request's I'm planning a run covering most parts of England and South Wales only. Will go as far as Newcastle on this run as it is on one day as opposed to the Scotland that are planned over 2 days.

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. That said by the time this run comes about I could have my under floor heating installed so this maybe an option to you if you would like. Please ask for details a the time of booking!

Also, following some recent problems various other couriers have had, once I have finalized the route, on Friday 26th @ 5pm, I will then contact you with an ETA. 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 customers 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.

Delivery's are arranged between 6am and 10pm. If this is a problem let me know at the time of booking/inquiring!

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, contact numbers (pref. Mobile numbers) and details of the animal to be couriered. I can then book the journey in.
• I'll the call both parties on Saturday 6th 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 emergency 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
