He was making the valid point that it is almost impossible to find a

reliable and consistent delivery service throughout Europe, which caused

them no end of problems."


Well that's cobblers from letsbuyit for starters. This time last year, we

were using a *fully* automated system to deliver to 15+ countries in Europe.

Never delivered anything over time (5 working days) - and that included

packages to obscure parts of Greece, Portugal etc. If anyone's interested,

Deutsche Post, subcontracted to 15+ local carriers. That was an unoptimised

process, too, so we reckoned we could have got it a lot slicker.


What he meant was "my supply chain and logistics systems are bollocks"
