Can any suggest an affiliate scheme for the ebay muppets? I get sick and tired of tossers ringing me all hours asking how much to get a sofa worth about £20 from one end of the country to the other for a £5, I have tried using the uship etc to cover these jobs it's more hassle than it's worth (bit like nextday parcels!!)
driven mad by ebay muppets!!

Just refer them to Delivery Supermarket and do everyone a favour!
Springer Express Couriers
OK could do and what is the incentive?

Driving down the cost of getting stuff delivered, for home users, eBay bidders and businesses.
nice tag line but surely a conflict of interests?

Well for you it's a very quick way of getting rid of the enquiry without being rude. I know this from personal experience, as I get quite a lot of requests for eBay quotes, though goodness knows why they think I would be able to deliver their stuff.
And you'll be helping the couriers on Delivery Supermarket who DO want to make this work into runs and make profitable days out of it.
Is that enough incentive?
Stick this on your site

Between Delivery Supermarket and courier companies, you mean?
Definitely not. Delivery Supermarket only suits people who you (as in your original post) don't want as customers.

Thanks for the logo Rob, hopefully I might some peace at the weekend, I had a situation on Saturday where I had my two dogs working a hedge on a pheasant shoot with a woman on the phone asking how much would it be........... GO AWAY!!!!
I have an image of 2 dogs trimming a hedge with clippers now!!!!!

Did Springer really say 'Go Away' or was it translated into French.
i think it was more like this.....

Every single job on Delivery Supermarket is real.

It's always going to be hard to get the 1st few jobs until you have a little good feedback.
Mr G Courier Service
Admin, you linked charlie the last time i mentioned the lack of real jobs. have you any other "success" stories?
Just to annoy all you Sameday couriers, any eBay work you are not interested in just give them my number as many on courier exchange, shed 5 do-and even got a job yesterday from a recommendation on here, don't slag me off as its each to their own.

Mr G Courier service- I take it personally said:

Seems to be a handful of people picking up some extra work.

Do you really want to have your reputation knocked by these fools who expect gold for the price of tin?
Charlies rep seems to have suffered somewhat, if you do still wish to register do it in an alternative name to your business
MK BIKES
Charlie sounds a bit dangerous if you believe the feedback LOL

Perhaps, you have a point.
When I'm bidding for stuff on eBay, 1 negative in a sea of positives does not put me off. You know some people are unreasonable.

On Anyvan I have 239 positive feedbacks and one negative with a 100%reputation, on Shiply I have 404 positives and 5 negatives with a 98%reputation in 5 years and Tony is right as these few negatives are very harmful regarding winning jobs.
Forgot to add, as a Sameday courier my reputation on Courier Exchange and the likes was second to nobody and won me lots of work over the years.
