I am not sure who the winner is? Calumet were owned by Aurelius and WEX by Barclays Bank As I understood it, Aurelius bought WEX from Barclays. So arguable Calumet bought out WEX. Will the new organisation be called WEX....Calumet....Caluwex...Wexumet or will Aurelius come to the fore?

Wex won't deliver to me anymore because I'm supposed to be the Highlands ever since they changed their courier. Calumet did, so that's another blow to the Scots

Yesterday's e-mail from Calumet saying that from today they are known as Wex clicked as the day before a Calumet newsletter about open days had said Wex would be running seminars at Bristol branch. Tough on Scotland if they don't deliver to half the country as Jan says.

Apparently they will leave packages under a stone just North of Berwick upon Tweed, for customer collection.  I shouldn't really complain about WEX as they gave me a stonking good PX on my D750 when switching to the Fuji XT2. I left it with them to evaluate and got a call back within an hour, while still wandering round Norwich. I was back there in 10minutes, to rip their hands off. They must have had a customer waiting for one.

My 'lefty' view is that it doesnt matter just deliver it. You win some and you lose some. They make huge profit on local deliveries around London and SE.

Royal Mail are fine, but wex won't use them. It's couriers that charge extra. But not all. I can actually get stuff quicker from Europe and the US than from inside the UK. It's funny though, after I made my comment about another one bites the dust, they're following me on Twitter..... Big brother is watching

Now, there's interesting... Last time I wanted something from WEX I didn't order it because of the delivery issues, and I went elsewhere. Yesterday I spotted a very highly graded used 50mm on the WEX site that was 1/3rd cheaper than I had seen it elsewhere, and cheaper than the average on eBay. So, I thought, damn it, I'll order it and it will turn up when it turns up. I wasn't charged any extra for delivery, and its coming in 48hr Parcelfarce. Which now appears to be their standard delivery option. So, either enough Scots complained (which wouldn't surprise me), or moving to Calumet has also changed their delivery processes.
