Need a favour near Frankston Vic

[Xfigio]

Hi Swaggers,

We're in a pickle, and hoping someone can help out.  I need to arrange a couple of techniice eskis.  My dilemma, being based in Tassie, is that when I spoke to them a couple of weeks ago, they couldn't vouch for them arriving prior to our camping departure to the mainland.  I'll be coming through Melbourne on the 31st Dec, but they're closed, so can't pick them up directly.

What I'm hoping for is someone who can pick them up on my behalf on the 29/30th (I'll already have paid over the phone), and I can then pick them up from you on the 31st.

Any help, or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Any chance you can get them delivered to me - I don't get over to Frankston very much .

But I'll hold them if they can delivery to Mandrakes..

Cheers

Gee I cant see any issue with them being couriered over to you in a week....

Im close to there, but wont be around on 31st.

Maybe Speewa has some time free..

Thanks for the offer Mandrake,
I already tried that route, but again, they said post has been very slow, and it may take several weeks for a Melbourne delivery.  He said they take up to a week to process the order before it's sent out.  It's just not worth the risk, and is safer to make the trek out there and make sure I'm not going to miss it. 
It's my own fault for leaving it this late.  We were checking all the gear, when we suddenly remembered we no longer have an esky, as it was stolen at the last place we camped, last seen floating out to sea in the Nambucca river .  Last laugh was ours though, as there was no alcohol in it, just lots of health fruit and veg.

Any chance you can get them delivered to me - I don't get over to Frankston very much .

But I'll hold them if they can delivery to Mandrakes..

Cheers

Steve

Would a pickup from Cranbourne, most days, or Lysterfield on selected days be of any use to you?

I've been thinking of buying one of their eskys to replace my old one (received circa Xmas '78). I was going to wait until the New Year but there's no reason why I couldn't buy mine this year and could possibly collect yours while I'm down there and hold them for you until you come across to the big island.

Let me know.

Cheers,

b

On a side note they are having a sale on swags there, 50% off. Saw the sign in their front yard this morning

Thanks a lot everyone, the response has been overwhelming.  What a great community.  I think I've got it sorted, but if it doesn't work out, I'll contact those who indicated they may be able to help out.
