Rivlins Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Beware of UPS - they will definitely deliver to Shetland but - well, read on: I bought something recently from south. I asked about delivery and the company said "Don't worry, we use UPS, they deliver to Shetland." So, anyway... the item was collected from them by UPS on 4th May, and arrived in Dundee the following day - where it has been gathering dust ever since. UPS's tracking site lists the following excuse against it: "The address is in a remote area and deliveries are not made daily. / Delivery rescheduled." That was on 8th May...

JustMe Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Mattressman do free delivery to Shetland too and are pretty good pricewise with a large range of beds, mattresses, sofa beds, etc.Sad to say they no longer do free delivery. Indeed they now charge £42 for Shetland. That said they could still be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not uncommon, and to understand why this happens it's because national courier companies don't make money in Shetland or rural areas, they make a loss. But they're obligated to deliver nationally. So they want to get as much onto a fixed price pallet as possible to reduce losses, and that means delaying items and higher prices. Also factor in that they don't have the volume of Royal Mail.

john smith Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Not easy to get a fixed pallet price, Streamline charged me £250 for a pallet of kitchen units and a 3m worktop. The fixed pallet price i was given was £75 plus vat per pallet ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
