Title: Gumtree advice
Post by: Elite Pete on 23 April 2014, 19:04:52

I'm after buying a couple of parts off Gumtree, only problem is the parts are in Kirkcaldy so too far to go and collect. That means I'll have to send money to a person I don't know and hope they don't rip me off. Any suggestions or any ideas if there are any couriers that will pay for the parts on collection :y

TIA

Kirkcaldy is 4 miles down the road from me.

Send the cash to me and I'll rip you off, albeit with a friendly smile..

don't think that's true as pay pal dosnt cover all things and if you send as a gift you wont be covered
