Packing-Shipping Conundrum

Post by Frisco The Beagle »

Not sure which topic this should be but here goes -

I am looking at bidding on a lot of 50+ records on ebay for which the seller is only allowing local pick-up for delivery. The records are in Manhattan and I am in New Mexico so local pick-up isn't an option. I asked the seller if he was able to take them to a nearby UPS store or something similar but he is unable to do that.

Does anyone know of a pick-up/pack/ship service in Manhattan, NY that I could contact to pick up the records and ship them. Any other suggestions are also greatly appreciated. Note all this is assuming I win the auction, haha ;) .

Maybe place an ad in the classified section for someone in or near Manhattan that would help with a pick & shipping? Another forum I look at has that as a topic all its own.
