[QUOTE="Hampton, post: 5745398, member: 6937"] I sent my last load of group 1 13% milling wheat to a merchant on a 2 load contract having fulfilled a seven load contract with another merchant. The first 200 tonne went through fine with no knocks. The separate load, first the merchant didn’t want to put it on as milling, then grudgingly did it after I insisted. Anyway, the following day I had a phone call from trader, jovially saying “your load had a tour around Manchester yesterday”. He then went on to tell me that it got rejected from Ranks, they tried to relocate and tip it at Trafford but the mill broke down, so they tried it at Allied and it went through with no claims at all. They docked me £3 per tonne for redirection which was a relief. I said that the previous loads had gone to Allied and he replied “it’s the best mill in Manchester” I said “why didn’t you send it there in first place!” Still feel I got lucky, not because the wheat wasn’t up to spec, but because you are at their mercy and I would have been another £10 back at least if it had gone as feed! I always feel relieved after my milling wheat has gone. [/QUOTE]
