Hi All

Any recomendations for a someone who can collect an ebay item (150cm x 60cm x 50cm, 10kg). Unboxed but not fragile, so not worried about it.

Thanks

Try here https://parcelcompare.com/?gad_source=1&gad_ca...

It should let you select home collection.

I would say people put collection only on ebay to avoid scams so they may not like a courier either.

thanks. I'm more looking for a man/van type thing, as the item won't be boxed so don't think most couriers will accept. They've said collection only as don't want the hassle of packing/risking damage.

Worth putting the location on here in case a local pher can help. I’d probably go for it to get out of the house if it was local.

Man and van only makes sense local to local or a bigger job.

If it’s local to local I’d try a request on FB.

If packaging is really an issue it’s not going to be easy to get a ‘formal’ quote for the job.

Unless you get lucky it’s going to need boxing for any kind of sensible option.

Presumably you have checked with the seller - I don’t allow courier collection for my collect only items.

The item is a used flight case, so doesn't need boxing for protection
