Courier needed for a Saturday, but supplies own lables...

OK, so I've found an item that I [STRIKE]like[/STRIKE] want, but its in the !!!!!! end of the middle of no where, so I'm hoping to get it for a low-ish price.
Problem is, the seller isnt offering postage. But they are willing, after I asked, to allow me to send my own Courier.
The 2nd problem is they work away Monday to Friday, so it'd have to be a Courier who collects on Saturdays AND one who has their own lables as the seller doesnt have a printer for printing off the barcode thing I'd normally email over...
So anyone know of any couriers who do Saturday co0llections and supply their own lables...?!

UPS do I think (did when I worked for 'em anyway) - horribly expensive though

CityLink via ParcelMonkey don't require the label (just your address on the parcel) and they deliver on Saturdays, so would have thought they'd collect on a Sat.
Otherwise, shiply.com0 -
CityLink do not collect on a Saturday. None of the mainstream couriers do.0

Does seller also know he has to pack it properly as well or does courier have to wrap as well?I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

It wont go thru this item, I can assure you
Though even if it did get damaged then the blame lies with the Courier company as theitem is brand new and still sealed...0 -
could you book it in for next Saturday with a company likes My hermes who are very cheap and print off the labels yourself sending them through the post? My hermes do offer a Saturday pick up for about an extra poundMad Mum to 3 wonderful children, 2 foster kittens and 2 big fat cats that never made it to a new home!
