MJ Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I do like the fact that northwards and WDA both are so courteous when I phone up to rearrange delivery/collection, item ordered tuesday night would have been delivered tomorrow on the wast run, but they're quite happy for someone to pop round to pick it up today, meaning I have it in my hand less than 48hrs after ordering it. When working in town, they've both not had any problem with delivering to my work, working odd shifts it's not easy knowing where I'm going to be on any one day.It's also great they seem to be able to put their hands on any package within a few minutes of being asked (rather than taking several weeks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
righter Posted July 14, 2011 Report Share Posted July 14, 2011 I haven`t read the whole thread,but as i stated once before,we have just received excellent service from JBT. Both pick up from the middle of England and a quick delivery here. I also find their prices reasonable. They have made purchasing large, heavy stuff from Ebay,as simple as buying locally.

I don't think it specifically matters wether you use Shetland Transport, Northwards or Streamline when it comes to haulage/deliveries from mainland. You might stike it lucky depending on boat sailings, weekends, holidays, Aberdeen depot workers efficiency etc. Your package could be here in as little as 1 to 2 days from when it arrives in ABZ or could well take a week if things aren't in your favour. That just seems to be the way things go when you live here. I tell myself thsat the package will take 5 days when I know its in Aberdeen because I think thats pretty realistic and avoids dissapointment.

YUMMYMUMMY Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Hi - who is cheaper - Shetland Transport of Northwards? I am planning new furniture and need it taken up from Aberdeen. Any ideas?? [***Mod edit - threads merged***] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest posiedon Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I've always found Shetland transport excellent whether for a bathroom suite, a polytunnel, or a sofa. (They did an 80 mile diversion to pick up a settee for us in Preston at no extra cost.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owdwife Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 I can recommend Shetland Transport. I've used them a couple of times and they deliver when they say they will and are competitively priced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voegirl Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 [i got phone no of yodel from firm sending my parcel, they were really helpful. unfortunately in my opinion they use Northwards for Shetland deliveries. I have found them slow Yodel took two days from south of England to Aberdeen Northwards base then it took seven days for Northwards to deliver. not helpful on the phone either.

Chalklate Posted September 26, 2011 Report Share Posted September 26, 2011 Ken Bromley Art Supplies delivered a large easel to us and there was no delivery charge. It was here in a week. It was far cheaper than any I saw anywhere else and hubby is delighted with it. They sell all sorts of art materials at very reasonable prices. We will definitely order from them again.

Can make quite a big difference I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
