Ebay.co.uk: Help needed Shipping to OZ, please

Obersturm

Hi all,

a bit OT, but thought I give it a shot.
So I bought this tonneau cover on Ebay.co.uk for my daughters Mazda MAX5 not knowing that the seller posted the listing as pick up only.
Does anyone here have a suggestion how I can organize a courier to pick this up and deliver to a friend who is currently staying in Putney/London and is heading back to Melbourne middle of the month, please?

Item is loacted in Rochford, Essex SS41TJ United Kingdom

Any help or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Is there some kind of a service that can supply a satchel upon pick up? I know DHL, UPS and such only pick up and don't bring satchels or boxes and hang around for someone to pack stuff up?

Anyone that is close by that could pick up on my behalf, maybe? Happy to supply beer money or return the favour if there is something someone needs from Australia.

Id ask the seller nicely if they could box it up and you send a courier to collect it and get it delivered to your friend in london.

as long as you have paid for it they shouldnt have a problem with that.

Myhermes is quite good. Just make sure you get it insured.

Hi Dave,

I tried that. First I asked nicely if we could ship directly to Australia which was bluntly rejected and even the shipping to London option was not received preferably. This is what I got after I paid via PayPal:
"Cancel this transaction. I will not be posting this item. You are completely unreasonable, this has and always has been collection only. You cannot repeatedly ask me to post this item."

Maybe she is disgruntled because I was the only one bidding on the item....

I'd just cancel and ask for a refund.

Hi Matt,

sadly, looks that way. It was a good deal at 15 quit, but seems to be in the too hard basket....
