£1k of my gear is stuck at McColl’s, says bike shop boss

THE owner of a bike repair business says he has been left with a wave of angry customers after more than £1,000 worth of his equipment became 'stuck' at a McColl's store.

Martin Dallaghan took dozens of parcels to the shop in Reddish, Stockport, so they could be shipped out earlier this month.

A member of staff accepted and scanned the parcels, which contained cycling equipment sold by Mr. Dallaghan's bike repair business, Never Mind the Bike Shop.

However, when customers began complaining that they hadn't received the items they had ordered, Mr. Dallaghan discovered they had never left the shop.

It coincided with the collapse of the company into administration. Parcel, courier, and delivery service Yodel pointed to 'unusual and unfortunate circumstances' and said it was now talking to McColl's and Mr. Dallaghan.

"They showed me a room full of parcels, including mine," he said. "I've got a grand's worth of stock sitting in there.
