Got ripped off in the summer last year, had a 10t skip dropped in by Glazewing, filled it over a couple pf weeks and was collected, its taken a lot of emails and phone calls to finally get a cheque out of them 10 months later, weighed in at 7.5t, rate quoted of £100/t but they keep the first 2t, fair enough, as they had to deliver and fetch it, but the invoice was taking the p, paid out at £35/t and deducted £267 for 2 fridges and 2 tyres that were definitely NOT on the skip, so out of a potential £550 after the 2t charge I got a cheque for £137 and refuse to budge on the deductions :mad:
Won't going there again ( and its happened to another farmer locally I've since discovered, same tyre and fridge deduction )

Glazewing and Goldstar alike, bunch of crooks,
Had an Artic bulker to take some long steel trusses, from Goldstar.
Pay Ticket was way down on my estimations, challenged it, to no avail, was told to off !!!
On checking ticket, weighing in time was before the collection time, !!!!!
Someone was fiddling paperwork,

Use EMR every time, on account.
