I haven't used this service before so bear with me. I recently bought a single P38 spare wheel/tyre in Mornington, VIC - we have a leaking spare - but I need to pick it up from the previous owner. He's in no particular rush to get rid of it, so I've got a bit of spare time to wait, for the moment. I don't have any courier contracts or family nor friends in Melbourne, so .... If anyone is travelling from Melbourne to Canberra or to Sydney, I could pick it up on the Hume Hwy, I'd appreciate if anyone can pick it up, or carry it for me. I understand that not everyone wants to pick it up in Mornington, but we'll see if we can manage to first make a start and then deal with the rest later. Money for petrol are clearly needed too. I'd be grateful if anyone can help with any of this. Regards, Gary.

I'm leaving for Sydney (via overnight in Wodonga) next Wednesday morning. But I can't collect the wheel from Mornington as I'm flat out over the next two days. If it could be delivered to me in Brighton some time Monday or Tuesday I'm happy to transport it to a suitable meeting spot. I usually stop at the Paragon Cafe in Goulburn if that's close enough for you.

Thanks for the offer. I've sent a message to the owner via Ebay so I've asked. Timing or distance may be a problem for him but we'll see. Cheers,

Gary.

The seller is willing to drop the wheel at Brighton and I'll cover his petrol. He will take it to you today as you said you're leaving on Wednesday (this week?). Can you please give me a mobile number for him to contact you and and an address to drop the wheel, as I don't know anything about him other than his name as Bruce. By the way, can I meet you on the highway near the Yass petrol stations rather than Goulburn? I will arrive early and wait for you, and not delay you once you have given me a time on Thursday. We have to leave on Friday as we're going to a wedding in Nowra via Braidwood. Regards,

Gary

Thanks again for DieselLSE's offer, but the wheel is still in Brighton.
