Louella are getting rubbish

I have bought thousands of pounds worth of pigeons from louella over the years and even up until recently, however they still treat you as if they never heared of you before and like you are a nobody and it really pisses me off.

Today I used there online form to inquire about a bird and asked them to reserve it for me, but as I always like pics of the birds for my file, and the online ones are rubbish I always ask for a quality pic emailed to me.

So before paying I requested a picture as last time I bought one only a few months ago, then after paying asked for pic it never came and still havent got it to this day dispite asking 3 times.

The woman in louella ignored my request for a picture, And simply sent me an email asking when I intended to pay for it and if I could send a deposit?
All i wanted was a picture then I was going to pay in full on the site within a minute of getting the picture, still hasnt got back to me either way???
What a way to run a buisness?

mate i live 20 mins from there trust me forget that place and the birds they got there its not the same anymore

took me 5 mins to veiw 250 pigeons then walked out dose that not tell you something oh and on that bright sunday morning only 3 other people there 2 of them worked there

would never buy from their again ....no vaccination date with the birds and poor service allround and thats not to mention the health of the birds had to cull some from their last year but managed to keep 2 out of the 5 after a lengthy quarentine and they are now fine atb

i bought a pair in 2011 {kirkpatricks] for £40 a pair. they where very clean and full of health., but i did think the woman on the phone was bit rude,. havent got any more since.

Well I will wait till midday on monday for my picture of the bird, and if it doesnt arrive I will email them and tell them where to stick the bird, and I will never buy from them again. the bird was 260 quid not a real cheepy...its a line I bought before and bred well and I wanted another but I wont be messed around.

i agree martyn, if they wont send the photo, tell them they have lost themselves a sale.........its the least they can do, as after all a simple photo emailed out is well worth it to sell a pigeon.

As we are on the topic of studs not doing too well, anyone know whats going on with Premier stud?
I bought birds off them 2 years ago and what crackers they were, in fact for the money they are the best birds I ever bought. All seemed well website looking great, then no birds forsale. They said update in september of sale birds but when I went on the site not a single picture of any birds just ring numbers with peds. When I asked them about it I was told it was too expensive to take pictures of every bird.
Then all sale birds disapeared from the site and went on to red star loft auctions, then they sold nearly all the stock off on pippa???
Have they folded? anyone know.?

they had a stand in b/pool but no auctions

people do get wise to some studs thats why they change so much

were they selling birds in blackpool then?

yes they had a stand with birds on for sale think they was taking orders as well

dont quote me but im sure i read a sign saying allherman custers sold out for 2013

but cant be 100%

you could put a sign up, rayella, and put louella out of business.... 1000ft of lofts with 20,000 birds for sale lol just kidding ray

That sign should have said hermans ceusters all sold 2012, because they have almost sold all there H/C birds off on pippa, so Im not sure what they are breeding them from??
I think I have more than them now lol.

Best thing to do Martyn

Must say the birds they had for sale at the Blackpool show they had various ages and had some nice birds and the prices were high for some and average prices a mixture of both

Must say though now that there father has gone they have are only interested in money but from what i heard the lads are mainly interested in the horses more than the pigeons

They should do us all a favor and shut down

defo agree there don the quality ov birds are not the same as wen old louis was alive had some veryy gd pigeons from there iin 80,s 90,s and early 2000 but since restarted last yr the 1ns i handled at b/pool last yr wernt in the same class as all the early stuff wudnt buy from there now and i used to be a big louella fan and spend gd mony but wudnt buy now as there not intrested in the pigeons as you say more race horses theres more money in it jmo

to be honest i cant coment on the pigeons there now, when we bought ybs it was in the 80`s and they were well reared and won straight away as ybs, they also went on to breed birds us to score.........

when i went to blackpool last year the birds they had for sale looked alright to me.....JMO

yes that about sums it up ray

well although everone seems of the same opinion and wouldnt buy from them, I actually would but seem to draw a blank with them as they dont seem to want to sell them to me? However when ever I speak to the couriers they say hundreds are going out each week from louella so someone is buying them as well as me?
