Delivery / Pick Up Question.

Von Smallhausen · 13 Sep 2006 at 01:11

Say I won an auction on e-bay and the seller said pick up only. Could I contact UPS or a parcel firm with an address to pick it up for me, assuming the seller would pack it for me ?

I know nothing about how they work and would appreciate any advice.

Yes you can arrange a courier to pick up your item.
Just tell the seller to pack it up for you and someone will be there to collect it on X day

You scared to go and get it lol

I never thought of doing that! Gah, some of the best deals are pick up only!

More nervous. It's a consignment of Mac 10's and drugs ....

Nah, it's not really.

It's in Manchester and I am on Tyneside and I can't get down. The auction ends tomorrow night so I need to plan ahead if I should win.

Why not ask the seller? Seems the logical thing to do, to me.
