Dunk Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Hi All... New member here, thanks for accepting me.. Obviously during this Corona virus situation the most important thing is for us all to stay safe.... but, does anyone know if any of the courier companies are still running a service? I've been browsing the (can I say excellent) 'For Sale' section here whilst stuck at home and a few things have caught my eye but as buying a new bass is (arguably) non essential I did wonder whether I'd be able to get it delivered? Thanks all in advance and looking forward to getting myself up to speed on some of the other topics on here. Dunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taunton-hobbit Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Welcome Dunk, you'll find a lot of really nice peeps on here - in answer to your question, I'm in Torbay & DPD are still delivering here.... 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Just had a parcel delivered by UPS about two hours ago. Having my monthly fix of coffee beans delivered by DPD tomorrow. So the answer is yes. When I'm selling basses and stuff I use Interparcel, which gives you a choice if a number of couriers. I don't think you will have a problem. The UPS courier said he was getting through his deliveries really quickly... no traffic, and he delivered the parcel at arm's length and backed off quickly.

PatrickJ Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 (edited) I had a UPS delivery yesterday 24 hours all the way from Italy, was very surprised, especially as it didn't arrive like this: Edited March 25, 2020 by PJ-Bassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trueno Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Mine came from Thomann in Germany. Very quick, very impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 All seems fine currently - with emptier roads and extra drivers being drafted in I’m wondering if it’s actually quite a good time to order!

NickD Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I booked a pickup and drop-off for today via Interparcel last night, and all seems fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lozz196 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Parcelforce delivered to my work today, and we’re sited near a DHL depot which appears to be working as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Horse Murphy Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I had a bit of trouble getting a courier last week for some reason, but this week seems to be back to normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maude Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Mrs. Maude had a courier delivery yesterday, I don't know which courier but there was a knock at the door, when I opened the door the parcel was on the doorstep with the driver stood about ten feet away, he signed the the illegible hieroglyphs machine when I took the parcel. As safe and secure as possible given the current situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maude Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 Oh yeah, welcome to the forum. 👋 With the money saved from isolating it would be impolite to not buy something bass related. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ead Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 If you look on various courier websites they are giving guidance on deliveries. Most are saying the delivery methods will change in terms of social distancing and therefore the recipient no longer signing for the delivery etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky 4000 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 To me, upscaling remote ordering and home deliveries should be key to this whole social distancing thing. Surely it's a lot easier to manage than herds of people heading to the same places (shops, chemists etc), even when that is 'only for essentials'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDC484950 Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I’ve ordered a monitor from (yes, I know), Amazon. I now wish I’d looked a bit more closely at the details. It is sold by Amazon (UK) but fulfilled by a seller... in Latvia. I don’t have anything at all against Latvia but if it turns up damaged then returning it is going to be a PITA. I shouldn’t be surprised but nevertheless it is annoying. At least it is actually in transit (for now...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
