I'm very local to the town the warehouse is in (2 or so towns over,
depending on what roads you take). And I am even used to the high crime
areas it might be in (my wife is from one of the WORST parts of Jersey
City... makes Paterson crime look peaceful). I would be happy to pick up
and hold onto stuff, or ship it for people.
BUT... I am rather ignorant when it comes to safely shipping heavy items
(that is why I still have 4 IBM System 23 units on my floor... I can't
figure out how to ship them, and I can't bear to throw them out when I
know people that want them).
If someone wants to give me a good breakdown of HOW to ship something
heavy (how it needs to be packed, who to use as a carrier, where to get
the packing materials)... AND if they want to cover the costs of said
pickup (if I have to purchase the items from the warehouse), and shipping
(materials and freight), I would be more than happy to go grab what peope
want, and ship them off. Just remember, I am ignorant on how to do it, so
don't get pissy if it doesn't survive, because any of this stuff will be
a "learning experience" for me.
Or if they will be in the NJ area and want to pick it up, I can store
some stuff in a storage garage as long as it is out before the end of
August (I am getting rid of it then). Anything longer than that has to go
to the barnlike garage thing next to the leanto I live in. It is small
and half full already, so I can't store much there (and it is open to the
temperatures, and any animals that want to stop in since the walls stop
about 4 inches short of the ground in most places)
