Hi all I know it's a long shot but I  want to buy a couple of tents from a chap in chorley and  due to the dimensions 90cm x 90cm x 15cm ( disc shape ) getting them sent at a reasonable price  is proving a nightmare . I agreed to arrange a courier to collect but now found that even at £50 I can only find EVRI and Parcelforce who will do it through the budget couriers. They however won't allow drop off ..even to the depot and only offer collection . They also offer only whole day slots ..so the seller has to stay in all day which he may not be keen to do . On top of that I know from experience that they often don't even turn up on the day requested ..expecting you to reebook another day ..and even then it's not guaranteed. This seems pretty unreasonable but it seems there's no other option unless I pay a fortune and then it would not be worth it. SO ...unless anyone can suggest a better solution I am resorting to asking on here whether anyone who might be coming my way ( exeter ) in the near future might be open to collecting them and bringing them down ? I would of course pay you the £50 so it might be worth somebodys time I guess . If anyone can help me out it would be much appreciated . No massive rush . Mail in profile , thanks in advance , Bill

It seems I may be in luck .. I asked the seller if he ever came south ,( not expecting much joy ) It now appears he may well be coming nearby sometime soon so fingers crossed ..problem solved .
