Nuts and Bolts for members.

Better than mattH his has gone to the wrong place...quite how they can do that is beyond me .

That is the same place. the post code on the system is not quite right, but the convenience store is there are 177 high st, unless someone booked the wrong access point

Mod edit: removed members home address and mobile number....

Just arrived and I'm very happy with the selection. I wasn't expecting them to be so well sorted either, much appreciated.

After you've satisfied all the requests and your workload has died down, let us know if you have much left, I might be able to manage a bit more.

Thanks again,

Gareth

I really want to open it up, but i'm in the office and i think it will be easier to wait until i get home tonight, as i think I'd just end up with a car full of bolts

Just spoken to them and as you say its the same place so why not use the same address on their system...its bloody crazy IMHO

So @MattH your parcels are ready to collect.

So far apart from addressing glitches causing me some stress I can not speak highly enough of access point to access point VIA UPS booked through parcel2go.

Most if not all are bagged mate. It was the only way to ensure fairness and everyone getting as close to the same as possible. Future packages might not be so accurate in content as I only really ended up with 40 packages with the same content. Some will contain more small stuff as the larger bolts have run out quicker. It was so hard to tell how many were in there and sending less than 4 of any one bolt was not really sensible. IMHO.

They are all individually bagged and taped plus they are all in one large bag inside cling film and more tape. lol Even the driver said its the best consignment of parcels he has collected lol

It would have been easier and quicker to have bumped them all in a few very large tubs and shovelled them out but it would have been very random what people received and sorting them was therapeutic. (at times) lol

Cheers mate, I'll pop up soon and let you know.

well just had a nosey in the incredibly well backed bag. thta is definately an assortment.

Now we need to find a supply for assorted nuts and washers.

Ho Much is "left over"

 

[ukracer]

I still have over a ton left allegedly....the second pallet was more broken up boxes and was said to contain nuts but sadly the supplier lied to my mate.....it's taking a lot of time to see what's left. I am sure there a lots of washers still to be sorted......lol

 

[MattH]

Got both parcels mate. Great selection. Cheers.

Really happy with selection @ukracer. For anyone who's not yet opened theirs, here's a picture of what you get:

and because I forgot to pop a mug in for scale, here's a picture of the dogs with a mug so you can back-calculate:

That's OK, I have used the mildly patina'd tennis ball for scale.

Got home to find a package....then me thinking, Huh what the hell have I been buying now!
Then it clicked.

Thankyou so much! I expected to open it to find a dolly mixture of bolts in a pile. Instead was a selection of various bolts and washers all individually packed by type.
I need to find a home for them now

My old empty Wuurth storage box I forgot I had...

Full up, weighs a ton, and theres still some packets left over that won't fit in.

The only thing I did not find time to do was measure the things as the last thing I needed was lots of people asking for specific bolt size and lengths lol..
