Posted: 14:24 - 06 Feb 2021 Post subject: Casual courier work? |
|
|
I had someone make an offer on a guitar but they're over in North London (I don't think they read "Collection Only" on the listing.) But I'm considering asking a higher price and biking it over to them.
1) How does that play against the backdrop of Covid? Hermes, DHL, et al are obviously carrying on regardless. In the great scheme of things one might consider there being less human contact (me to customer vs me to courier, courier to customer) I dunno...
As an aside I don't have a suitable box and I wouldn't use a courier for guitars anyway. Many moons ago I bought a Tenor Ukulele and the box got stomped and the neck broken Never again.
2) Flipping it the other way entirely I'm wondering if there'd be much call for local courier work. More an excuse to get out of the house than the money. It's the sort of thing I could easily work in with my main job, I quite often do some coding on a Sunday just so I slack off Monday
I dunno, I envision something more classy than Deliveroo Gods, I'm bored. ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 3 years, 71 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
