This time of year I do a fair number of PDI builds. People come in to look for a bike, get a price then I pick them up off the floor and off they go to Smiths Toys, Argos or Sports Direct. Some just buy on line and wonder how the full size bike fits in that box that's a lot smaller.
Phone call late this aft, can I put a bike together? Yes. Can I drop it off today? Yes, before 6. Will it be ready for Friday? Yes.
Having run out of job cards I wrote the name & phone number on the box then unpacked the bike, adding the box to the pile of saved packaging I keep for the car breaker round the corner (cos getting big cartons for used panels & glass is expensive).
Five to six. 'Eyup, John'
'Eyup, Dave'
'Are you done with these boxes? I've got loads of stuff to get on the carrier tomorrow'
'No problem'
'Cheers, John'
Now I've finished the bike, just need to ring... Shit!
