Anyone near Durham?

[Altrezia]

Hey guys,

Sorry to barge into your local section, but I was hoping one of you lot might be able to do me a huge favour?

I just won a Welder on eBay from a chap in Durham, but forgot to check and he wont post it. I've since spoken to him, and he's happy to keep it for a week or so for me, but he can't be bothered to get it ready for a courier to pick up, and is sticking to his Collection in Person rule.

Would it be possible for anyone on here to pop by his (DH6 5EQ at home, or I can get his work address if you'd do it during the day) and grab it, then wrap it up in tape ready for a courier to grab it? I'll organise the courier and cover any costs, petrol as well as some beer money if required.

Here's hoping.

Cheers,
Alex.

It's right on the A1, not on my door step but if you struggle then let me know. Have you tried http://www.shiply.com/ to have the item collected and delivered?

Happy to help with this if you can't find anyone before monday or tuesday. I'm probably only 10 miles away.

Drop me an email via my profile if you want me to run down and get it for you.

Cheers,
Stu

Thanks chaps - if nobody else offers, I'll drop you both a line to see who can help

I just booked someone on Shiply to do it - so thanks for the link. It was only £35 in the end, and that's with the guy knowing that it wasn't going to be packaged or anything. Pretty good.

Glad you got sorted chap

Yeah, meant to say in my previous reply but forgot: Thanks for the offers of help. Nice to know that there are people all over the UK willing to lend a hand where it's needed.

Bugger, I would have done that for you, as it was just up the road for me (serves me right for not coming on here in aaaaaages)
