GLS Couriers and a missing Mason Resolution

Posted on
  • So it looks like GLS have lost my Mason.

    "Hi! No luck... they are asking for an invoice of the bike. Which means they have no ideia where it is..."

    So, if anyone sees someone riding a blue Mason around that looks like this... smack the cunts in the face for me and take it back.

    The white saddle pic is an older pic.
    The boxed pic and hotel pic are from Portugal.

  • You want one of us to smack a giant in the face and try to take your bike back?

  • "Lens Blue" colour no longer available so I guess I'm adding a full respray to my replacement costs spreadsheet...

  • I misread the front wheel logo as “RIGHT” so briefly thought your wheels said Hippy Right, but of course that would be wrong.

  • these guys?
    their reviews aren't particularly favourable...

  • Does any courier company have good reviews though? Like other services, people only bother to review them when they fuck up.

    It's a pretty simple task though - take a box from place a to place b. How do you lose a fucking bike in a box?

  • So many of the parts on my bike are discontinued and/or I bought with some discount, like E3 Triple lights with a TCR-rider discount, so I can't even replace the lights with what I like even at a "full RRP" price. :S

  • true, but judging by the number of 1 star reviews (12,392) they appear to fuck up quite a lot 🫣

    anyway, hope you get it back.

  • Hmm I guess. I certainly wouldn't use them but that shipped has sailed.

    I'm still adding stuff to the spreadsheet but the costs so far are £6,835.56 and that's not replacement costs, that's just what I paid for stuff, much of it was pre-covid, some was off here, discounted, ebay, etc.

    So, they either find the guy who's fucked off with my fairly recognisable bike or they're gonna be out >8000EUR and I'll still spend the rest of my days hunting it down - like the similarly sized animal - I don't forget.

  • like the similarly sized animal - I don't forget.

    A blue whale?

  • fingers crossed their insurance claims dept are able to deliver better than the delivery dept.

  • I'm trying to hassle them to look harder at the moment, before trying to see what they'll cough up in money terms. Fun dealing with two countries, two languages and all through a sender who was just trying to do me a favour.

    GLS, where's my fucking bike?

  • It's in Belarus being used as a commuter by a bloke called Максім Goroshchenya.

    4 miles each way, per shift, from his home to the Nuclear power plant and back.

    Feedback from my source is that he bought it for 300 rubles from an old woman at a market in Dainovka and that "saddle is low like for pig" and "this handlebar not for a strong man".

    There's probably not much point in more lives being lost in order for drip-fed bits of "information" and I've already spent 3k on carting over boxes of leather jackets and cigarettes (not via GLS) so I hope traditional means work for you, otherwise I hope you enjoy the new bikes when it gets sorted.

  • Rep

  • Thanks for the lol.

  • saddle is low like for pig

    You funny fuck, Rob

  • Thanks for the update. At least it's not rotting in some GLS cunt's shed somewhere.

  • It does sound like you need a resolution
