There's people out there so appreciative of someone willing to sell this
If i paid 500 for a speaker i would be very un happy with that packing job
How come? It wasn't being sent as a parcel and it arrived absolutely fine with the customer really happy 🤷🏻♂️
@@RetroReselling take it you have never worked for a transport company.......treat pallets like parcels! stack on top of each other to safe space
I would never send an item out like that, drivers stand on pallets while they are checking other items, also sometimes if the pallet contains boxes they split the pallet and throw the boxes on top of other pallets, as they can get more in the lorry that way. You definitely should have covered it in bubble wrap first and then used a pallet strap to bind it to the pallet. That way it definitely won't move around. It won't be delivered in that van either as will be taken to a warehouse somewhere and loaded on to a bigger lorry with loads of other items. I really hope it gets there OK for you.
Got there absolutely fine
What made you not protect the corners of the speaker? Just a flimsy bit of cardboard around the middle?
It's on a pallet, not being sent as a stand alone parcel
@@RetroReselling Yes, I know it's a pallet, I watched the video. What if it had been knocked about in transit? It's great it got there in one piece but that wasn't because you packed it well, it was blind luck. The packing was awful.
What a horrendous packing job. Whether you've put it on a pallet or not, it still has to go through transit in a van or lorry to your customer. You tipped the pallet slightly and the speaker almost fell off! You need to stop acting like what you've done here is acceptable. Especially if you're teaching people on youtube.
Oh dear. May as well stick in a bin bag and lob it in the post.
How come?
That would have had several layers of bubble wrap and more cardboard if I were to send that out. Drivers stand on pallets so that would be a foot stright through the speaker. Hope it got there ok
Exactly why I chose to send it on a pallet to avoid this 👍🏻
800 x 1200mm Euro pallet George, standard pallet 1200 x 1000mm blue, red, brown or white. Treated pallets are for export.
Thanks for sharing your personal way of doing things, I was in a similar situation myself the other week… I actually ended up lifting the pallet on with the guy where I had to keep it in the garden overnight until the morning ready to go due to space restraints ! Hope your season picks up nicely for you in the coming weeks 🎉 Nice sale btw
If that was me I definitely would have used bubble wrap. Very little protection there
Great pick up and great sale ! Well done George
Jeez I’d of made sure it was protected much more than that. Big profit for you, I’d of gone outta my way to make sure it got delivered with no damage
Exactly why I chose to send it on a pallet to avoid this 👍🏻
I'd have hand delivered it at that price 😅
I used to be in packing, you should not have put the plastic bag over it as it can cause condensation inside it, you need to get some tri wall cardboard for it, if you went to somewhere like Halfords they will give you an old box that the bikes come in.
I use to spend full shifts wrapping pallets at Kelloggs, it wasn't fun but it was great exercise.
I hated it! Lol
Still would of used bubble wrap, i was getting very anxious thinking omg that needs bubble wrap, hope it gets there ok, please let us all know ❤
If it was being sent as a parcel then yes
Smart with the vacuum.
Dam for that price I'd be wrapping it with 15 layers of bubble wrap as well.
Exactly why I chose the pallet option as I didn't have to worry about thing like that 👍🏻
Reviews of companies are key 🤌🏻
Can you please explain why you think sending it on a pallet (with no protection) means it will be safe? Is there someone we're all missing? A key bit of knowledge about pallets that we don't know? Because you keep replying to everyone saying that you "sent it on a pallet" with no explanation as to why that's safe.
Are you covered for any damage using that pallet site? I sell quite a bit big and bulky pieces of furniture an so far been using Parcelforce with minimal problems but always looking at possibly new ways for safe transit. Parcelforce don't cover for damage though whatever, should check out the restricted list of items that aren't covered for damage lol may aswell be everything 😅
I use Shipley would have been £40 ish. They have an eBay link which marries up with the item number. Used them 6 times and all good.
Haven't you considered sending through shiply with reputable small business? How many miles roughly it was?
Look at videos showing packaging with expanding foam. :)
Great video George, I've never heard of that company before so will consider them in the future - thank you 👏
😁😁👍🏻
Think I would of put a big 100m of bubble wrap on it and then cardboard I overkill lol😂
Exactly why I chose to send it on a pallet to avoid this 👍🏻
@@RetroReselling true mate amazing sale any way well done.
George, please be careful when you are offered blue pallets. They belong to the British Government chep pallet pool, youcould get into
seriouse trouble for useing them as they are for transport companies who pay an anual price to use them.
Never heard of that before!
Wow what a sale
🎵🎶🔥
Gosh George your getting some hate here on this one 😂 looked fine to me
I know right 😅
That pallet could of cost you a rear window
🤣
Epic 🤝👍
🔥🔥
Oh dear oh dear oh dear........Appalling packaging for a £500 speaker....NO Safe packaging
It's on a pallet not parcel!
@@RetroReselling Thats Why!!
amazing 😊 thanks mate. have a great weekend
Thanks, you too!
jeans are ripped mate
wow - you certainly copped criticism in this video! lol
Great video George 👍 amazing pick, amazing sale 💣💣
@@burningsoul1365 don't be that person.
Thanks mate 🎶🎵
@@burningsoul1365 it's unnecessary
Customer was really pleased with the upgraded delivery service and item I sent out 👍🏻
I’ve been a driver and pallets like this a probably less safe then sending as a parcel. Should get there safe but probs no different to sending any other way tbh
How so?
@@RetroReselling we stack the pallets to utilise space and driver and staff will always step on pallets assuming they are secure
Sounds professional..
@@RetroReselling I’m not trying to be funny but that’s the harsh reality, the other comment show that
Great sale mate I would of just drove or sent it through parcelforce and insure it
Good stuff Ross
👍🏻👍🏻🔥
