Grand Central Posted March 19, 2021 Report Share Posted March 19, 2021 Good grief personal service to the door, ahead of the expected time, and some people moan. You just want to throw in the towel and tell them to sod off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I used to run home/direct delivery services way back, all the deliverers had a printed out list of customer addresses rather than having to scrawl anything on the item!. Deliverers were also instructed to push the item all the way through the letter box and not leave it 'sticking out'! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with no plastic around it, it will mean dolphins can also live long and prosper, (but maybe not as long as the trees).. And with no 'adhesive pre printed labels' on the cover, old horses can also live on to a hopefully ripe old age.. Well done to the Speedway Star for being so ecologically and environmentally aware.. #firstworldproblems.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellevueace Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 Well I've still not received last week's star yet, delivery had got back to normal just after Christmas so don't know if the latest disruption is due to the new courier, I'm not bothering contacting pinegen as if it does arrive will be a week old and hopefully this week's will arrive.

Just to say for the second week I have been reading my Star whilst eating my breakfast. Thanks , I hope the new style of delivery service continues and that the post is kicked into touch. The past history about the various makes of machines I found very interesting. I totally agree with the above post. Regards from a very satisfied reader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedway fan Posted March 25, 2021 Report Share Posted March 25, 2021 mine arrived before breakfast last week ... so woke up thinking I would have it to read this morning --but as yet not arrived so I will be patient and await its arrival !
