IDEA......Forum Courier Service??

As a thought, I was wondering if we could/should set up a courier service for forum members??
We do it on the 4wd club forum and it works quite well.
Might help out those shipping rifles/powder etc around.
Maybe set up a separate section for it??

How it works on the 4wd forum is all you have to do is ask if anyone is travelling from A and going to B and if they could either pickup or take a certain item. Or put up that you are travelling from A to B and have room for a pickup/drop off.
Offers of fuel vouchers or coinage obviously is usually appreciated for the trouble.

Just an idea anyway.

Yeah Good idea ,,,always people travelling up and down the island,,,,, some things can be a hassle to courier too

I do Tauranga to Hamilton and Tauranga to Taupo,via rootapuru, rokotoa, on the way, and return, usually weekends,frequency monthly roughly

Sweet, I've got something to courier to the Kawekas, it's about 165cmx35cm, 60kg, must has ventilation while shipped....oh and a rifle too... ;)

Wher the hells that Dougie

Papamoa no sweat

4wd club ,you probably know my nephew Craig B & Andrea ? (maybe)

This is a brilliant idea though should be winner.

Maybe a simple as putting your next trip up in advance, like I'll be probably TGA TPO thurs this week, reverse trip sat pm

You got it Maca ;)

Here's the description of the operation off the 4wd club forum....
"Want something shifted. Post in here. Chances are a member will be heading that way. Remember payment is optional but everyone loves a dozen or two".

Need to careful of someone trolling for addresses and knowing where you maybe your idea is better than mine then PM s

Yeah its just a matter of keeping in touch with PM's, so everything like contact details etc are private.
The thread is just a contact point to ask for a favor and/or to let someone know you can do something similar on your travels.

Lets try I need a wall mounted gun rack from Palmerston North to either Hamilton or Tauranga ready now to collect

Great idea.
I'm going to put a bid on this

STUDIO EASEL WITH HORIZONTAL TILT | Trade Me

It's obviously an easel (OK, I know it's not shooting related, but I could paint a nice picture of a deer?).
Any help to get it from Wellington to Richmond, Nelson (or leave it for pickup say Blenheim somewhere?).
Thanks for any help.

I regularly travel Nelson-Christchurch-Timaru and then back to overnight in Christchurch.
Day 2 is Christchurch-Nelson.
It's a tanker/trailer unit so only room for something that will fit on passenger side floor.
Also Nelson-Greymouth-Nelson (1 day trip).
Can't deviate from normal travel so no door to door stuff.
PM me for more details.

Any one driving from chch to the north island il pay are fee to pick something up

This concept is worth pursuing and definitely has merit
