I busted a front spring leaf (original Toyota) on a backroad somewhere up north of the Northern Flinders.
I wanted new springs to match the TJMs on the back. My
Coffs Harbour TJM arranged for them and associated hardware to be sent from
Brisbane to
Port Augusta and I timed my arrival there to coincide with the expected arrival of
the springs.
The freight company (NQX) lost them. After a couple of days trying unsuccessfully to locate them, TJM in
Brisbane sent a new set OVERNIGHT AIR FREIGHT - the cost would have been between $700 and $800. They might get it back from NQX, but they have certainly taken a big risk.
They sent them yesterday, and my Troopie is now on the hoist!
That's what I call caring for the customer.
Thank you and well done, TJM!
Graham Fraser.

Hay Fizz.
Could service is very hard to come by these days but this is going the extra yard.
Very nice to see.
Regards

Old saying over here on the east coast, if you have something you really have to get rid of and don't ever want to see it again, send it somewhere on NQX and nobody will ever see it again.

Could this be the answer to nuclear waste disposal?

We had some important items lost at
Brisbane NQX so I was allowed to go and have a look at their lock up to see if I could spot it. Well - Its was like stepping into Aladdin's
Cave. Everthing from 4 wheel drive tyres to Cases of Wine was there. 4 wheel drive tyres - there must have been 10 sets and with the dust on them,they had been there for quite a while. It must be difficult to keep track of items especially when packing gets damaged and paperwork gets damaged. Good to see that you will be on your way soon

There are some very good, totally reliable and timely freight forwarders in Oz now - sounds like this mob should be in a different line of work - if in work at all.

NQX's con note system is still a bit crappy compared to some others. This may be some of the cause of "delayed" freight. We use them to send freight to various parts of QLD from SA. Takes forever and our customers get a bit toey (spelling) at times. Answer occasionally is, "well it's your choice of freight forwarder man, not mine".

The salient point about all this is that before today I was only vaguely aware of a company called NQX and because of these posts I would not consider using them if I needed anything freighted. The power of negative advertising is about 4 times more effective than positives.
