1002Hi All, its the the same down here in Colchester, it just goes dead for six weeks. Im afraid there's nothing we can do about it except get out there and try and find some new customers. Regards Paul
Strange how that happens! Not many industry sectors shut down for six weeks do they?
We go quieter on European deliveries in August, as France pretty much DO close factories and industry for the whole of the month.

Doesnt make any difference on a Bike though... having said that with austerity and all that I think its going to get worse, I have noticed alot more folk are shopping around for price, and are not that bothered about urgency as long as it gets there in an hour????.. Even had a guy yesterday ask how do you get to that figure? He was probably expecting the service to be the price of a postage stamp..
They all want an overnight rate for very urgent sameday
All? Or do you mean a few?
6 weeks holidays are a good time to get away and recharge your batteries for the run up to Christmas. :)
