    Does anyone have recommendations for couriers they use to buy second hand goods from interstate?

    I’m looking to buy a device from Gumtree/Marketplace that can weigh up to 20kg and in a (relatively) decent sized box ~(70cmx40cmx40cm)

    Looking for services (not necessary) they offer like:

    • either picking up from the person’s house or they deliver it to a location
    • they can pack it for you
    • method of payment to the seller otherwise I’d have to trust the other party to ship it off

    I tried looking into backloading but it seems like too much trouble for minimal savings. Looked at courier sites and wasn’t sure if I was doing it correctly but it was estimating ~$80 which is actually not too bad. Would much rather go off of recommendations.

    Was recommended Couriers Please but it depends on the franchise

    Are there services that pick up from the persons house or would they have to go into a place to ship it off? They tend to stay on the market for a while so I’m sure the person wouldn’t mind.

My concern is also payment, I essentially have to trust the other party to ship it off once paid.
