The problem with Hermes is I think that all the drivers are subcontractors so the few good ones are lost in a sea of poor ones. Ironically, after their agent delivered my package to the black bin, they sent an email asking how they had done! At the end of this was a link to Trustpilot, to fill in your opinion of Hermes on that site. Trustpilot rating for Hermes says it all 2% poor, but 95% rated them as BAD! Hermes track record with us is appalling the worst ones include throwing a tablet over an eight foot wall! and completely loosing in the warehouse a hamper of Thorntons chocolates which tracking showed was there for 5 days before being "Lost" The post office and parcel force have never let me down, although I'm sure others have horror stories.

It appears to have disappeared now. I did read it before it changed.

There are a great many questions that you need to consider before you embark on such a project. Here are just a few As I have no idea of your current knowledge and experience, please do not find some of these questions offensive or demeaning Are you hoping to make money from such an activity? You won’t! Cat breeding is an expensive hobby! Ask the Inland Revenue! Do you own a pedigree cat already? If you do, did the breeder say that it was ok to breed, with her? Does the cat go out? Very few stud owners would entertain you if it did. Do you have the commitment to breed cats? A litter could be a 6 month commitment. Waiting for her to call, taking her to stud, a 9 week pregnancy, and 13 weeks after that before you can sell the kittens. Have you been to a cat show? This is the place to make contacts about studs etc and to see if you have the right cat for breeding. You may feel that these queations are trying to put you off breeding, they are not they are trying to make you consider the commitment you are thinking of taking on, if you wish to do it responsibly. . My wife and I have owned, bred and shown pedigree cats for nearly 25 years.
