Hello to everybody!As first I have to say that this question has nothing to do with C6(yes, I'm the owner of a 2.2 td, as well),but anyway I'd ask if anyone of you can help me.I live in Italy, and I often find (and buy)the items for sale on ebay or other sites in UK, but sometimes there's print "no shipping outside UK" or "collection only",so the transaction ends immediately for me.I've found this item in Bolton, Manchester area, collection only, I'm ready to pay it, but I don't know who can pick it and send the package to me.Do you know anyone(or a company) who can do this service?You can contact me on email adress e mail icon
Thank you in advance,
Gordan

Good luck, Gordan. I'm sure someone here might just help you out, once they login and see your post.

I'd be happy to help, but when I'm in England I live about four hours drive from those cities!

I have Honda friends in Trumpland... Sorry, USA; we help each other out in a similar manner, in both directions (UK>USA and USA>UK), with rare parts for our 1960s' classic Honda motorcycles.

Gordon,
Did you message the supplier to see if they would reconsider if you agree to pay the postage?
This has worked for me on several occasions.
Best regards,

Gordon,

Thank you very much!Unfortunately the seller has got no time to pack and ship the item even if I offered to pay him all the shipping cost.And I can understand his or your decision on not proceeding with shipping, because we are talking about an(english and rare ) drumkit, four pieces of sheer pleasure but a little bit weird and "roomy" to pack.There are few parcel companies on line doing the service(collection at your home included)that I can contact and pay online, so the packing would be the the only problem.The kit would fit inside a cardboard box cca 65-70cm each side, weight of a cca 30kg, plus a smaller one cardboard box cca 45-50 cm each side and cca 15kg of weight.The seller might deliver the kit at your home(previously contact required ) if living in Bolton, Greater Manchester, BL15PJ, or not far away from him.Don't hesitate to contact me if you want more info(the link of the seller to be contacted directly, etc...) before your final decision.The bidding ends within 3-4 days.Thank you again for all your support, it is a pleasure to be a part of this forum!Kindest regards, Gordan
