Courier Report FER-1397 DISPATCHED: 22/05/08 DELIVERED: 22/05/08 kate rich packed up bags. caught the bus from green lanes near http to waterloo which strangely went via the tower of london, very scenic though. sat out on southbank balcony enjoying grey hazy after-office london evening and thames. then walked across the renamed hungerford footbridge now queen elizabeth golden jubilee bridge to charing cross tube and travelled underground to kings cross st pancras, the new and sterile megahome of eurostar. maja and lina appeared on time at the sleek grey arrival doors for our 1 hr meeting. upstairs the champagne bar serves only champagne so we went instead to chain dive pub at the end of the station. Despite being inside station cncourse it had outdoor awnings under which were full blast outdoor heaters despite it already being too warm inside the already airconditioned station. the waitress didn't know what ale is so maja & lina ordered 1/2s of bitter, i had the rose. on table exchange of coffee for euros, plus masa harina from the spanish shop near brussels midi statoin for kazi&kazi tea, and feral trade turmeric and neem tea for brussels moroccan cous cous cakes.
onward transit of FER-1393 from Cube Microplex arrived HTTP gallery 2008-05-20
kate rich Free passage Cube to HTTP opened up as follows. Unexpected train ticket leftover (return half of a standard Stansted-Bristol fare) received on the morning of departure, courtesy Heath Bunting, returning early from Slovenia. Picked up ticket plus rolling coffee suitcase, approx 20kg, from Cube at noon and walked cash free to Bristol Temple Meads station via mainly smooth surfaces. Rolled through ticket gates and caught 2 lifts to the platform for the 1330 to London. Disembarked at Paddington and hauled coffee luggage up (ticket-gateless) rear stairs to the Hammersmith Line tube entrance, where all oyster card readers were handwritten out of operation. Following the influence of other passengers Feral Trade breezed through to the platform without seeking ticket agent assistance and took the next Hammersmith train eastbound. Changed to the Piccadilly line at Kings Cross (stairs) and alighted at Manor House where the exit to surface was via escalator. When challenged at the ticket barrier for exit without oyster, Feral Trade explained inactive oyster readers at Paddington and described that the ticket agent had been talking on the phone. This combined with claim to not live in London (barrier agent checked this via swiping oyster card on a nearby reader to witness recent nonactivity) seemed to work: waived through with no further questions. Walked for free up Green Lanes following internet map via Hermitage Rd to HTTP Gallery on Ashfield Rd, where Marc Garret received coffee delivery.
FER-1327 coffee Nonualco from Codecano arrived Cube Microplex 2007-07-25
kate rich 20/6/07 Bank transfer for $3062 ($3011 plus added $51 for random bank charges) with Abbey UK. 17/7/07 email from Ricardo Yglesias, the transfer arrived and coffee is enroute at San Salvador airport. Phoned Kingscote freight agent at Heathrow (0208 890 1000), they will contact when the shipment is landed. 24/7, no news. 25/7 no news, midday phoned Kingscote, they had misspelt my phone number, the coffee was delivered to HCH (Delta freight handlers) Heathrow the previous night, shipping documents lost by Delta. Paid fees to Kingscote by phone. 7PM after bristol commuter traffic ebb, left Cube by car, petrol at 96p/L, M32 and M5 rainless despite earlier this week great South West Floods of 2007 engulfing towns. At Heathrow, followed Terminal 4&5 signs to arrive at the HCH cargo compound. Picked up the shipment retrieval documents at Reception with drivers ID and Kingscote authorisation. Shipment pallet delivered by forklift, boxes were all present but many were opened and the coffee bags looked rummaged. Forklifters kindly reweighed the shipment (252 kg) and recorded the pickup as damaged. Drive home was gloomy yet aromatic. Arrived Cube at midnight, unloaded 1/4 metric tonne coffee into the under-auditorium-seating area. Coop had miscompiled the order as 175kg ground coffee and 75kg beans, the reverse of my emailed order; the ground coffee was also ground too coarse. Emailed Ricardo shipping report then went home to sleep (see http://www.feraltrade.org/coffee/correspondance/shipment7/grind_disaster_07_26_2007_16:45:27-600 for more).
Ricardo Andres Yglesias M. Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 22:19:25 -0600 From: Ricardo Yglesias. Hi Kate, the money arrived to the bank correctly; we took the 250 K today to the airport, and is leaving probably tomorrow to Heathrow by Delta Air Lines with Bill of Lading No. 006-5033-8385 so you can trace it. Tomorrow morning I will send you the Itinerary. Best regards Ricardo. Date: Wed, 18 Jul 2007 14:43:17 -0600 Subject: RE: Coffee shipment will go tomorrow. Hi Kate, I contacted our agent in the airport, COMCA INTERNATIONAL, and they tell me that the shipment is still on the waiting line, and will not leave today, probably tomorrow, but for sure on Friday. I will inform you of the itinerary as soon as I have the information. Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:58:00 -0600 Hi Kate, I am sending you the mail I received today from COMCA INTL, which they say that Delta will have space until Saturday or Sunday, as I talk to Sr. Juan Montoya this morning. On the other hand we received at the Bank $3,011.90, I understand that the bank here charges $15.00 more or less, when we have the monthly bank statement I'll confirm to you.
