With free local pick-up the buyer needs to make the arrangements for pickup, not the seller. The buyer would need to provide the pickup code to the service used.
Put your item on U Ship website and independent drivers will bid on your job. Seems like a simple job so drivers will be "undercutting the others driver's bids" just to get your job.
This is from your first post “Don't want to build a crate around it. If someone is already driving there, they can pick up my stuff for pay & make extra bucks.”
The piece is selling for $100 with free local pickup. I would stick to that.
Let the buyer figure out how to gain possession of it. Let them work out how much it’s worth to them to have it delivered. Let them figure out how to wrap it so it arrives intact. Whomever shows up at your door with the QR code can take it.
What if it breaks on the way? What if this delivery person loses it?
I read this post as they were looking for a relative stranger, who might be travelling in that direction, to take it with them.
What if this stranger “loses” it. Loses it, like keeps it for themselves. What if they lose their way and detour for 4 weeks along the Appalachian Trail? What if they lose their desire to deliver.
UPS, FedEx, USPS… they lose things too, but there is protection/insurance available.
It won’t be “lost”. The driver will have a pretty good idea where it is.
www.uship.com. They used to be the reality show and now do all types of LTL shipping and still have the option to do odd things like you are requesting.
The easier you are to offend the easier you are to control.
We seem to be getting closer and closer to a situation where nobody is responsible for what they did but we are all responsible for what somebody else did. - Thomas Sowell
