My new board for 2022. EBS Octobass into TC Electronic Spectracomp into Ashdown OriginAL (with cheap as chips tuner in parallel out). I just, today actually, got the Spectracomp, so I think I'm set for the first time in a long, long time. I've fluctuated between smallish to largish boards over the last 15 or so years, and last year I went right down to a Fender Downtown Express....but I love the Ashdown sound so much and now with the final piece being the TCE, I'm happy. Famous lasts words, and all that sort of thing hahahaha

I might be able to do just that...no, no I'm not sure if thats enough words? LOL

Parcel arrived today... 5 days late, but it arrived...

https://parcelsapp.com/ gave me a good answer as to the process... I now have the P2G and the Hermes tracking numbers - P2G has made no change to their site, so that is a write off... Hermes fairs a little better.. But what it doesn't do, is explain to me how a 24 hour service can be delayed by 3 days... no communication from anyone is not good service, it's shockingly poor "service"... and yes, I am aggrieved by this, as is, I'm sure, the sender. This was a simple deal... "Can I buy your piece of gear?", "Yes of course", "Great, here is the money", "Thank you. The parcel has been collected for 24 hour delivery", "My thanks"... and here I am on day 5, wondering what is going on... Anyway... this has been an informative thread for me... thank you for contributing.

As far as I've been lead to believe, Parcelforce, Parcel2go, Hermes... they're all much of a muchness. Unless you pay for the really big boys like DHL products UPS, they're all pretty much the same thing. I've not experienced anyone issue with say DPD, or Hermes or The Courier Guy... and they're all affiliated with P2G. What irks me, and this would be true of any service I was engaged with, is there is no communication, no way contact them. And as fat as I can see, no recourse other than waiting. @Supernaut, your comment is indeed true, but it's not the point. Someone paid for an expedited service that has not been given. @Bassman666 should, in all fairness, be entitled to his money back. Surely this is not too much to ask, that a courier, well... couriers????

Well... I suppose the only consolation is that ,y band is pretty much on extended hiatus ... been looking forward to this Spectracomp for ages now... finally bit the bullet and now this nonsense... Royal Mail may charge a wee bit more, but I've never once had any issues... Anyhooooooooooo.... chin up, best foot forward and all that sort of thing... Talley ho! What, What, What!!!

Will do - many thanks all

I only have the P2G tracking number... I don't know who the actual courier is.. I guess I can try all of them, Hermes, Parcelforce etc... I know I saw a link on the page somewhere...

Hello all... Anyone here used Parcel2go recently to send anything? I bought a pedal from @Bassman666 (thanks mate) and he sent it on Tuesday on 24 hour delivery... it's now Friday and the status hasn't gone beyond "collection" - which is the 2nd point and just before "in transit" which comes before "at the depot" - which means that it is not yet even ready to be sent to me!!!!!!!!!!!! P2G no longer uses a contact phone number and there isn't an email or anything to get in touch with them... their online chat bot I swear is more stupid than my French Bulldog. It seems purposefully obtuse in trying to evade answering the question. The tracking status now says "We are very sorry that your parcel has not yet been delivered." because now all is right with the world. WHERE IS MY BLOODY PARCEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahem... does anyone know anyone who knows how to get hold of these people? an email, a phone number, the name of a carrier pigeon even? This honestly is THE worst service I have ever experienced from a courier, and I come from South Africa! Kind regards... albeit with a slight hint of anger Julian aka glassmoon

I've played with the Shape, and I find I can't quite make it up with the high mids - so I will just boost a little onboard too - besides, disco and funk is not all boom is it hahahaha

Wow, very lean on the low end, eh? My bass is at least at 10 past hahaha But that's awesome. Thanks nate, much appreciated 👏
