I spent 8 months trying to get that useless company to collect their pallets from us, I said if they didn’t collect them we’d be burning them, and they said they’d send us the bill, so I said I will send them a storage bill, and then they agreed to collect them, it still took several more battles with them however.

You had a very different experience than I did.

I found them okay: booked a collection, and they collected. Luck of the draw sometimes.

I used to have dealing with their it in the 1990’s. it was the most virtul` company ive ever delt with.

All the staff were contractors including the management
none of the pallets actually belonged to them
all the delivery and collections were done by third parties
all their IT was owned and operated by outsourcers

never came across a tangible thing that actually belonged to them

Interesting story. I wonder how many blue pallets have ended their lives as furniture.
