Re: PICKUP only.

How can you get an item if it's pickup only? Annoying. It's only seven seasons of a show in a box. That wouldn't cost a whole lot to post would it? Can you hire people to pick up and post for you. It's in Queensland and I'm in Perth.

The seller may have selected to offer pick-up only for any number of reasons - your best option is to ask them directly if they would be prepared to post, and for how much.

I believe Pack & Send is a courier service that can package items for people as well, but I suspect they might be typically reserved for items that require special packaging (eg a framed picture or something), and I doubt it would be altogether cost effective, plus the seller would also have to be willing to locate an office and drop off the package.

You could try to arrange a courier pick-up from the seller (probably also pricey, and reliant on the seller being willing and able to make themselves available for what would likely be a full business day).

If you know someone in the general area who would be willing to pick up on your behalf and then post it to you, I guess that would be another option.

Only someone 15 hours away by car, in Townsville😳 I will ask them😀

Gawd, 15 hours in a car to pick up something. It would be cheaper to have them posted. Unless, they get free petrol & have a lot of free time. 🙂

Only joking
But in the payments section it has this message saying click for delivery quote by meepmeep.

Just out of curiosity, is this particular box set rare or at a price that would make it worth this kind of effort or expense? o_O (Not trying to be rude or nosey...ok a little bit nosey...it's just in general, even for something that's a great price or a little bit harder to find, most things will crop up again with all your requirements met).

Edit: Ok, even if that was a joke, the question still stands...

Digi Ghost has the solution. Give it a go. You may be surprised. 🙂

Yeah it's rare ( 5000 worldwide) and it's really cheap now (although there's 6 days to go and all the bidders come at the last seconds, probably go too high) what's meekmeek anyway?

Never heard of it (or them), and Google gives me no joy...

Is it just a text instruction, or is there a widget with a field to put in a postcode? (Without knowing who or what it is, I would advise caution if there's a link).

Have you asked them through the question link?

I have bought and sold pickup only items through the post off the back of polite enquiries. You could suggest a simple solution, like a satchel, if they are are a sometimes seller.
