Hi,
I am planning on bidding for an item online. Basically I phoned up these 2 companies but they are very vague in giving me the pricing of these items. I am planning on bidding on 2 or 3 laptops. Once the bidding finishes, assuming I won the item, I will email them the invoice over and they will go and pick my item up, pack it and send it over. Just wondering of these 2 companies, which one would be cheaper? I have never used any of these guys before so I am unsure which one to choose. I asked the guys, 2 ultrabook laptops of around 13", Mailboxes said roughly £38, Pack and send £40.

Are you guying or selling?
And are you asking about courriers?
Your post is a little confusing.0 -
So you want a man with a van or a courier to pick up an item you're planning on bidding on? Ebay I assume?
Have you checked with the seller that that is ok?0 -
Any laptop seller who lets a buyer arrange their own courier needs their head examining.0

Then you may find the auction house has a certain courier they use. The one I last used only allowed one courier, even though I collected my item I got an automatic quote for delivery from that courier.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.
