Silver Bullet Courier

I just noticed on a current invoice that they are now charging ($ 6.16) for «healthcare/​Min. Wage». That’s so Papa John’s and so wrong. Finding another courier.

As of May 25^th, 2010, 3 stars is the collective review ranking of Silver Bullet, one of the venerable bike messenger services in San Francisco History. A total of 3 reviews. It is sad, but accurately reflects what has gone on with the brand.
This brand took the TAG route. Close your office; have all calls answered by call center in Hayward. Lay off all of your riders, and give them the opportunity to hire up at an employee outsourcing firm. Owners stay around to assuage customers through the transition. Owners now removed from day-​to-​day operations, just deal with ruffled feathers and some collection work.
One of many such operations. There are other options in SF, namely the smaller firms that were started by the messengers who were laid off/​offered to work for the outsource company. Seek these firms out and you are supporting local owner/​operators.

One of the printers, I think used SBC and there is a tranny dressed in magenta pink spandex and has not taken her/​his hormones in a while and has man/​tranny sagging boobs and just shocked the hell out of the receptionist. Was it Ha (e)llo-weeny today? Anyway good delivery, never lost anything.

For in-​the-​city deliveries where mail or overnight is just silly, Silver Bullet does a quick, accurate job. Bike messengers make San Francisco work, and I don’t know how the financial district would function without them. We’ve been using them for years without a mistake or delay, even if their phone customer service is a little curt. They go to other Bay Area cities, too, but for the kind of packages you have to send to a client a few blocks away, they’re indispensable.
