Allan James


I was recommended this courier by by a well known member of this forum, I have now used this courier several times now and can fully recommend him.
Allan works for himself, his delivery rates are very good, and delivers all over the UK. He packages each machine himself on collection. He contacts you the day before the machine is to be collected, with a time, so your not waiting in all day, he also informs your potential buyers with a delivery date and time.
As Allan works for himself and operates all over the UK, you might have to wait for your machine to be collected, the worse this could be is max 3 weeks.
Allan even works weekends!

I've also used Allan on a couple of occasions and have found him to be excellent.

I’ve had Allan deliver another one of my allwins last week from Southport to Kent, very reliable and trustworthy and price competitive. He even took the machine upstairs for the guy.

hi I've used alan several times sent him everywhere and his charges are reasonable he takes care in what he does and is always on time, have often wondered if he sits down the road a while if he's early as when he says he will be there at 7am he's theres on the dot.

I have been in touch with Allan James, and he has given me permission to notify us that due to serious illness in his immediate family he is honouring all existing bookings, continuing to quote on jobs that easily fit his schedule until the end of April but from May will have to pause on new business for a couple of months (reviewable). This is so he can commit to his family 100%. I am sure we all wish him well during this very difficult time.

Given Allan has taken time away just now does anyone have another courier they use regularly and would recommend?

I’ve used Martin from retro logistics quite a few times. He’s the goto guy in the pinball community. 07748 521550
