The owner of a bike repair business says he has been left with a lot of angry customers after he was unable to dispatch £1,000 worth of equipment he had left for posting at a McColl's store. Martin Dallaghan took dozens of parcels to one of the chain's stores for shipping out earlier this month.
A member of staff accepted and scanned the parcels, which contained cycling equipment sold by Mr Dallaghan's bicycle repair business, Never Mind the Bike Shop. However, when customers began complaining that they hadn't received the items they had ordered, Mr Dallaghan found out that they had never left the shop, according to a report in the Manchester Evening News.
Unfortunately, his delivery of the parcels to the store coincided with the company going into administration. Parcel, courier and delivery service Yodel pointed to the "unusual and unfortunate circumstances" and said it was now talking to McColl's and Mr Dallaghan.
