I may go back to using myjermes, even tho they're a bunch rock gobblers. at least everything is done online and easily tracked.
I use myhermes a fair bit. Have sent 70 or so items through them the last year or so. They lost one item. That wee receipt you get when you drop it off...if you do not haveit they refuse to even look at it which I could not believe so make sure to keep it just incase. They paid out reasonably quickly though to be honest. Aye they are a bit crap but at the price its hard to complain
I've had plenty of grief with myhermes in the past, and I documented it on here :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I am officially a total idiot.

I've just spent an hour trying to get my seat off because the lock mechanism had jammed. Eventually managed to move the catch with a long screwdriver, after masses of swearing, shouting (which my neighbours will have heard), and bruising and scraping my hands and wrists.

Even after I had the seat off I couldn't see why the key mechanism was jammed.

My VTR key has a red dot on to identify it. Red bike, red dot. My CB key doesn't. Guess which key I've been trying to unlock it with. :redface
