You want someone to go round a strangers house just to wrap it up?!

I'd just tell the guy he either wraps it or I'm not paying and then I'd open a dispute.

 

[ru4shaw]

well if someone lived near him i was asking if someone would collect it wrap it up, ill get a courier and ill pay them
its because i think i got it at a good price

Don't think I've ever seen a member's name fit so well with his post!!

So let me get this straight... You want someone from london to go and wrap the headlining so u can arrange for a courier to collect it from the seller??? And you'll pay them to do this?

I live in london for a decent price!!!

 

[Staz]

No he doesn't want someone from London to do it, he wants someone who is doing a trip from Manchester to London to pick it up OR someone from Manchester to wrap it so he can get a courier to pick it up.

Ahhh... didn't read the post properly.
Last time I try to be smart with a reply!!

Good luck with finding someone. If no luck, do as staz says... Bit of a bummer if u lose out after getting it for a good price though.

How about driving to manchester yourself? I've done a similar journey from london and the round trip didn't cost anymore than about £45 in petrol (depending on what you drive of course).
How much would a courier cost??

I think you should just forget it

He needs it wrapping as well unless a courier will do that as well

 

[Staz]

I think aythree is asking as it may cost the same to get a courier as it would to drive himself. A tank of fuel max.

How much was the head lining? It surely can't be worth the hassle!

Naa courier wont do it. Instead of paying some one who gonna drive down from manchester why dont you just go up yourself?

When I fill up mine says 330 miles, but I got over 410 still with a little fuel left.

It's do'able on one tank mate, or maybe just over. Depends how you drive.

I think thats a rochdale postcode?....Its onlt 2 minutes up the road from me.

If the dude needs rid of it straight away, and you cant get up here imediatly, I could possibly pick it up for you and store it in my garage.

Dont know about packaging it though as I presume it wil be fairly large and fairly flimsy, and hard to protect due to its size, so wouldnt want to be held responsible for any damage in transit!

Oldham postcode that.
