Ebay 'collect in three days' request
dhutch - 6/2/09 at 06:47 PM

Ive just won a set of wheels on ebay, good enough price at £30 for a set of four 13" ford lasers, however there in lancshire so i was hoping to collect them when i will be up there in a week or two.
- Should have asked the seller, but ive been feeling rough for the last few days and didnt get around to it.

Anyway, to cut a long story short he's now got back to me as said 'the item' should be picked up within 3days as per the bottom of the add.
- Add says nothing, other than payment should be via paypal within three days (add states cash on collection only).

Basical, it would be a right arse royal arse to get there within three days (grandads 80th this weekend, if nothing else) so im just wondering what your thoughts would be.

I might offer to pay (half?) for them beforehand, or sugest i could send a courier (proberbly cheaper than doing it myslf any way).

But yeah, Just wondering your thoughts on that. Right now im just too tired and full of flu to really be able to think stright at all.

Well my parents are Junction 27 and Leyland is Junction 28 so between me Dave Beddows we should be able to sort something out.

Only issue for me is I'm driving up tomorrow morning as early as I get out of bed, got the footy in the afternoon (come on Wigan) and then driving back late morning Sunday. Suppose that leaves me free around lunch Saturday, early evening Saturday and Sunday morning.

If that might fit in with the bloke for collection - u2u me his number and I'll sort it out.

I reckon theres enough of us to pass them on by hand and get into the guniss book of records for the longest delivery chain in the world

You can get one picked up by each of the nice guys on here, and then arrange from there!!
