Local Pick up

[gcantfind]

Interested in purchasing an item listed as Local pickup only in Florida.  I live in Maryland.  Are there shipping options (i.e. preferred shippers) that transport interstate items?

@gcantfind   Unless the item is VERY special the cost of Freight shipping is going to exceed the price of the item greatly.  Large items usually need to be crated which is expensive.  The seller will not be responsible if the item is lost or damaged in shipping.  

You will have to ask the seller if they will allow a third party to pick up the item.  You MUST provide the shipping company with the QR code or 6 digit code so they can provide it to the seller before they pick up the item.  You receive the code when you pay using eBay checkout.  

You can see the listing of freight shipping companies that eBay recommends on this page>
