Karndean Van Gogh thoughts

See had problems with karndean deliverys. We have two days a week they send out one of there drivers. By there drivers I mean a guy who works directly from them. All the he is technically a subby for them.


Then we have the couriers. Aka city link, uk mail and all that. We don't have city link deliveries no more. Our boxes were always coming in bent damaged and. Sry wet when it rained. Most of the time they cello tape it back together but there already damaged inside. Good thing with these is tho if you ordered short or something's wrong you can get it on a next day delivery before 10am

Then we have what comes in on a pallet. Big orders, there's don't come out with there own drivers but on a pallet. The funny thing is if you want 30packs of something they stick it straight onto a pallet as it's cheaper, but if you order those 30packs in 3seperate orders it will come out with one of there drivers. This is because they pay there drivers by the weight and a large order is more. So break it down to smaller ones saves them money.

It's crazy how it works but it's all to save money, and isn't really about getting the product to us in the safest way.

 

Had big problems too with city link. I had to drive to the office to pick some tiles up last year. They were battered an I refused to take them. Waste of a few hours. Terrible company.

 

I buy Karndean through Sts and all packs are perfect! I was used to every box taped up with silver tape before

 

Same here mate.

 

Here too.

 

Heard through the grapevine, karndean are pulling the plug on wholesale !!!!!

 

who wants to make the extra pennies then...

 

I got a cuppa but no cake... gutted

 

Also heard that they are going to stop the net but then I may have seen a pig fly too !!

 

with spots...

 

Can't see that. Pennine who I used to deal with before going direct just had karndean there today doing an event. Also their warehouse is packed to the full with karndean. They got rid of alot of woods they used to sell to make way for karndean stock.

 

lol
They've only recently started selling to headlam too

 

that's different tho

 

There stopping there vantage points. This is major sucky. We got so much stuff from it. Bad times.

 

what they doing in its stead then for retailers?

 

I'm dunno. Just got told we had a letter through today. They didn't mention about them doing anything new. Big loss for us was a very nice bonus. Now I think it's back to normal. Nothing

 

Really.....who !?

 

Got there new 'private just for you!" Price list today......very interesting....will thank karndean for all the accounts that will drift into my path!

 

Love their tell the customer in front of me whatever to keep them happy way of working. New agreements are on their way from karndean

 

Yeah i put up with him trying to push loose lay for 10 mins but got a free bacon & egg butty, coffee and tape measure.
