| | Courier Report FER-1596 DISPATCHED: 08/06/11 DELIVERED: 14/06/11 kate rich Due to miscommunication with the roaster when ordering in roast II of the San Ramon coffee, the coffee arrived on Thursday as a medium, not a dark roast. Phoned Coffee Compass who swiftly ordered a Parcelforce pickup of the delivered coffee, whilst also roasting up a replacement sample to cover feral trade delivery commitments for the weekend. Friday afternoon parcelforce courier Terry picked up the main roast for return to Littlehampton & dropping off the dark roast sample, 5kg for onward delivery to London and Linz - just in time to catch euro-courier Brave New Alps visiting Bristol for the day with an empty suitcase - although a shade too dark roasted for my taste. After some mad parcelforce road miles & fine tuned hue discussion with roaster the main coffee batch returned from Littlehampton Tuesday morning nicely roasted. |

Hi there Kate,
Did you get the shipment yet? Hopefully there were no problems there for you
(and hopefully the security guys that searched the shipment before it was
sent didn't damage the packaging!).
You probably got the receipts in the boxes, but I am going to scan and send
a copy ASAP (will include transportation,coffee, and I can scan the airbill
if you would like a copy).
As I said, the shipping bill was less than the quotation over the phone
(don't have the airbill here, but the final cost was $477.?? and not
$550.00) and so was wondering if I could send you a personal check for the
difference. Could you cash that at your local bank? That would probably be
the easiest way for me to get money to you, and would have the smallest fee
associated with it.
We had to pay $4.50 total for the morning's parking, and sending a letter to
you will probably cost around $1.50, so I can send you a check for $67.?? if
that method of payment will work for you. Just let me know, or if something
else would work better.
I'll also get you some photos as soon as I am able to download them.
Thanks!
Helen
kate rich Sat Feb 12th cycled to the Money Shop Western Union agent on Gloucester road Bristol with £719 cash transfer to Blanca, the farmer, for pick up at the Western Union agent, San Salvador airport (SAL) Monday morning. Monday at 14:11h GMT got an SMS from Helen and Matt at SAL with Blanca. She had given her maiden name for the transfer which did not match her government ID. Cycled back to the Money Shop and waited in line with all the end of month paycheck advance customers, eventually showed the counter clerk my photo-ID and got the name change. SMS from Helen at SAL with shipment success and the Delta airwaybill number for tracking. Back home I phoned Kingscote Freight agent at LHR to intercept the shipment on arrival. As I don't have a fax machine, I had to email Kingscote a request to World Freight Services to hand the shipment over to Kingscote on arrival, which they then faxed to World Freight Services. As green beans (not roasted, not decaffeinated, not
organic / Tariff code 09011100) the coffee isn't liable for VAT or duty, the Kingscote agent suggested excise duty might be payable but that seems to only apply to alcohol, cigarettes, carbon trading and gambling.
