anyone ever had one of these mystical first drops that merchants are always promising?my first drop arrived at 4.50 this afternoon!!would of been good to have known in advance-could of stayed in bed
 
skip companys aswell! the only time we've ever had a proper first drop was with some ready mix concrete so its a good job we got there in time!
 
I had one last week.... arrived at 730am....couldn't bloody believe it!!! First time for everything I suppose! 8)
 
Last thursday i ordered a pallet of cement to be first drop this morning that didnt turn up till 12 luckily we had 6 bags other wise we wouldnt of even started today, Total tossers the lot of of em.
 
I had a kick off with the fella on the blower about where my gear was, he said "what would you like me to do about it" cheeky c**t so I said " you can get in your F*****g car and deliver my gear t**t" Still didnt get it.

Job i was on today the guy said he couldnt deliver coz a copper said he cant drive down coz he wouldnt fit coz of parked cars, anyway the customer rang the police found out who the copper was and spoke to him he said he saw the pickup reversing out but never said anything to him, he said im quite small with a bald head ask him what i looked like to see what he says, lol lying b*****d was too scared of hitting a car so f**k*d off.

to be honest mate i'd be glad. some of the drivers i've seen are shocking. 1 bloke took an hour to drop 2 pallets of boards and 2 pallets of bags. back and forth. up and down.
 
We ordered 20 ton of sand yesterday didnt expect it there till tomorrow got on site this morning at 7:30 and 20 ton of sand sitting there :eek:
 
easiest way to get first drop is to use the nearest builders merchants innit? or am i just being dense ;D
 
You say that Chris but we did a job stones throw away from the merchants i wont name them who we have an account with and i was promised first drop on some plasterboard come 11 oclock we had 2 tackers on site twiddling there thumbs with nothing to do, phoned the merchants and our order was 5 miles away :eek: said they will be with you after dinner :mad: basically we have a new rep we deal with and he dont work in our favour hes done this a few times now and its starting to piss us off a bit all this hassel and we are on there board in there top 10 customers makes you wonder.
