Even more interesting... For me!

I just checked out the calumet website, immediately re-directed to WEX site I then checked out the FAQ's it seems they are planning to keep all the Calumet stores as they were and they are having open days at each store...

Perhaps they are identifying all the good bits and dumping the rest? Unusual, it's often the other way round with mergers and take overs.

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.


Maybe the presence of Calumet in Edinburgh and Glasgow has given WEX a staging post.?

Wait until couriers are forced into electric vans - then we will see a lot of staging posts....

Naa, they will get Ryanair to parachute the parcels in as they are passing in their empty, pilotless planes... :lol:

Methinks I must change that avatar.

Perhaps something quieter.

I went into an outdoor clothing shop a while back, I had to ask if they had any camouflage jackets, because I couldn't see any.

>>Calumet becomes WEX<<<

We should be so lucky...last year in USA, Calumet became ... a locked building.

A year later Samy's moved into their San Francisco space - a nice company, but I liked Calumet a lot...
