Having bid for a small Honda generator on eBay, I'm now trying to arrange a time to meet the seller as we are a long way apart but proposed routes over the next couple of weeks come very close to each other.
However we don't seem to be in the same place at roughly the same time.
Does anyone know of a service where you can drop off a package (like you used to be able to do at some railway stations IIRC) to be collected later?
Seems like an obvious thing to be able to do (when you want to do it) but I'm struggling to find anything.
I am assuming that transporting a generator by standard carrier would involve first draining it of oil and fuel - I've sent a query to Parcel Force but I have also noted that generators seem to be "collection only" on eBay.
There was some mention of "white van man" a while back who aggregated packages for journeys s/he was going to do anyway. Does anyone have a description of this service I could use to search on?
Thanks
