I have 2 or 3 heavy banana boxes that I need to get from Nelson to Kaukapakapa.. Rodney.. which I believe is north of Auckland??? :scratch:

The couriers quoted a small fortune..:crazy: NZ Post is an option.. but just thought I would try on here first.. to see whether any one has any connections I could try. :rolleyes:

I tried some moving companies.. to see if a truck going that direction could put the 2 or 3 boxes in with a load.. but they wouldn't do that.. & their minimum charge was $300.. :wacko:

ps: It's a dinnerset I sold on TM.. auction clearly stated "pick up preferred".. :doh: never mind the other end of the bloody country.. :argh:


Thanks

Well tell him to come and pivk it up... or let him organise the freight.

Yup! Kaukap's North West of Aucks, about 20min from my place! I'd love a trip to Nelson but I doubt the Boulevard could carry three banana boxes and the cost of the return trip would probably be a bit more than a courier, too! :scooter:

Sorry I can't offer a serious alternative to NZ Post...

lols.. her idea of organising the freight was for ME to do a 4 hour return drive to Blenheim to meet a truck & drop it off. :doh:

Being the trader that I am with 100% positive feedback in 275 auctions.. I will do all I can to source options first.. :Punk:

If she is willing to pay for it :). But see how much it is to courier them to Blehhiem to me the truck instead of up norf, the pass the bill to the buyer...
