I am wondering if any Staffs dwellers ever come South as I have a potential eBay purchase thats collect only (but will deliver within 10m of Polesworth). It's not high enough value to justify a 200 mile round trip given the cost of fuel but if I could meet a forumer and contribute some beer tokens might be worth me buying? Also, I dont like the idea of pumping CO2 out for no good reason other than "a new toy to play with". I could meet wherever needed (I regularly drive to Peterboro up the A1 for example)
Anyone in Staffs with a vehicle?

LOL, couldnt find that on Google Maps
Yeah I'd ship if it could be and he had packaging.. but seller says Collect Only... but was willing to drop within a 10m radius....

I could potentially help but I can't guarantee when. Is it urgent/large/annoying?
Thanks for replying.
Urgent NO, large/annoying - its an old iMac but not the CRT type! I'd say safe to travel in a footwell with a blanket or similar over
Thats the point, Shiply will collect on your behalf
But packing?
Just saw what it was, probably not ideal for a Shiply collection
Yeah quotes around £80.... Twice price of item or fuel.. But didnt know abou them

Ok I'm arranging diaries/northern trips later today/tomorrow so I'll let you know if it could be a go'er. I'm a bit out of their 10 miles range so maybe too much of a faff with the little one unfortunately...
I've never packed anything I've had moved via Shiply (a car, a motorbike, a sofa, some furniture)
Thanks, even if it doesnt work for you in the end

Genuine question, why would you buy something that's collect only when you don't have any intention to collect ?
I havent yet...
