"Unless he lives in the same street, surely it'll cost him to deliver it to you? sounds like he's doing you a favour."
yes but not as the same price as he was charging me to get a courour service in? |

"he is charging me £180 to drive somthing from dorset to london, is that too much, he is not a delivery guy either"
at 40p per mile then it'll cost about a hundred quid s |

i dont mind paying a fair delivery charge at all, but i dont like how he is trying to change me the same price if he used a courour, it just dont sit right with me, and also for what he is delivering i think its a bit mean conning me when i am paying a grand already. |

Possibly more - I've known a courier deliver something for me for less than it would have cost me to put petrol in the car and take it myself |

"well i am gonna email him, if he has no issues delivering it then i dont see why he wont let me go get it instead."
That or you could see if you could organise your own cheaper courier service? |

My dad use to run a courier company before he retired and if you wanted something delivered he would drop everything and do it but remember the courier needs paying for the fuel, the time, the liability insurance and wear and tear on the vehicle too!! he had to charge a £1 a mile to make any money.
If you find a courier going that way anyway he could do it alot cheaper or get it on a wagon going that way!! Keep looking and fingrs crossed for you! x

.
Depending what it is, and whether insurance is required etc...
Last Nov, I had a private return pick up to and from home in Wiltshire to Heathrow, costing about 150 GBP.
On the return journey, I would like to pick up my dog from the kennel, and was told I could not, as they were not insured to carry non-people or goods etc...
Mind you, I doubt ParcelForce etc. would charge that much for a package!  |

"
am I the only one who's intrigued as to what this mystery item is?
.
Head stone for Alfie?  "
That was my thinking too 
HOpe that if it IS -= that you will find someone cheaper for you hun - £180 is steep!!!
I rented a 7.5tonne truck for a whole weekend for less than that xxxx |
