[joethenuts]

as we speak I just had a buyer go aprox 50km catch 2 trains and a bus +walking , to pick up from me know ,wow , by the way I made sure he did not catch a bus , and he left from a train station, any other stories of how far an ebay buyer has gone to to get something .

I've driven 7 hours and 41 mins to pick up an item.
Tweed heads to Newcastle

wow must of been a hard to get object,harley. mine wasnt, it was cheap but avaiable in bunnings

[harley_babes_hoard]

It was my Harley.

The mind boggles why someone would go to that trouble for a bunnings item.

As far as my local post office for pick up (about 2.5 km round trip but I walk...)

Had one thing delivered from interstate but wasn't going to travel to get it, it was a desk.

trains are comfortable enough if you can get a seat, hope your buyer didn't have to wait too long between the two each way, that's the tedious bit.

[amber-eyed-girl]

Joe, did you drive them to the train station? That's a really nice thing 🙂

Had A Lady Drive from Ceduna West Coast of SA to pick up a teapot in Adelaide About 8-9 hour drive. She paid with Paypal and I offered Registered Post for Free. She declined and drove just for this one item for her daughters birthday. I asked why? and she said I dont Trust Australia Post... Umm Fair enough she was happy I was very happy $400 Item...

that beats mine , I sopose a tea pot is a bit fragile,

for my buyer who by the way was rapped that he did not have to wait for a bus and go to the railway station,

going by the buyer lived 1km from the railway station ,then caught 2 trains then a bus ,then to me ,a small walk , and then do it back again , minimum 4 hours up and back ,I would say total 100km up and back.
