Help - Anyone Travelling past Huntingdon heading to the South-West?

[wytonpjs]

I know not how but an overseas package (sump guard) from Romania was consigned to an old address - I think PayPal had a hand in this

Before I arrange for an expensive courier collect and redeliver, I'm wondering whether anyone might be prepared to do me a great favour (aka stalker1962's famous transport service) if they are travelling past Huntingdon and heading anywhere towards Bristol or the South-West in picking it up for my collection from a suitable RV? Long shot, but if you don't ask........................

It's a flat box about a metre square weighing about 10 kg (probably less but its a steel sump plate).

If you're able to assist, please DM me

How soon do you need it? If it can wait a few weeks I can see if I can get one of my work colleagues to pick it up and then I can drop it off on my way to Exeter mid Aug. Cant promise as I dont know what the work scope for the next few weeks but if you dont get a better offer I can see what I can sort.

Let me see what I can do mate. I'll DM you from here onwards but if anyone else can help sooner then let me know. Just need to check what the work plan is looking like ..

Here is another option. If anyone could pick up from Huntington who is coming back to the Shrewsbury/Oswestry area. I could then pick it up from you and take it down to the SW Might give a few more options.

Likewise, anyone heading from Huntingdon to the Derby/Nottingham area? I can get it to Bristol in short order from there.

As it happens, I’m picking up a trailer from a village near Huntingdon at the weekend & I’m in the office in Frenchay usually on Wednesday. DM me if that’s any good to you

Many thanks to all who rise to the challenge - I am heartily blown away by the strength of our “community”

@udderlyoffroad is on the case and it’s a perfect fit - many, many thanks Matt

A final post to say a BIG thanks to @udderlyoffroad from whom I collected the sump plate from today at work - yup, we both work at the same place It's really a small world!

A big thanks too, to the other generous offers of help from other members on here (SD at it's finest ) but in this strange world, Matt was the perfect solution - who knew
