Hand Deliver Sold ebay Item?

the address would have to be on my street for me to bother, so it's probably never going to happen. I had one sale last year that was 10 minutes away by car and 50% of the time I pass that way so it would have been a 5 minute detour off the main road, I was contemplating dropping it off myself to save the "£2.75" postage" , but then I realised I was going to drop off other parcels at the PO so just saved myself the hassle and sent it with them.
I remember about 15 years ago I sold an engine and listed "£30 pallet freight", but it turned out the buyer was 10 minutes from my old workplace so I took the engine in my car from home to work, borrowed a works van and took it there myself at lunchtime. It was delivered to a garage and I took a printed off receipt to get signed but that was way before all of the "eBay seller/buyer protection"0
