Trying to find someone to help In NICE for some hours...

[applesdeux]

Hello,   I bought some used small vehicle parts on ebay and they're in the city

of Nice being stored with a kind local but he's very busy and needs the

space. I live in Australia and need to get the items boxed up in a

large box and then posted through France Poste back to me in Sydney.  

I'm trying to find someone who could help. They'd really need to live in Nice, have a car that could carry a large box and speak French for

the post office. I'm going to try and find a box supplier in Nice! I'd be happy to pay for their time and reimburse them for expenses. Please let me know if you know someone who might be able to help,

Thanks

Stuart G.

Bump - This is now very urgent so I would appreciate help from anyone in Nice.

Ok, I give up as there's

obviously no-one living in Nice on this forum! Finally, Can anyone

suggest any other bright ideas as to how to contact someone who could

help in Nice? Are there any businesses or other persons in towns in

France that might be able to offer help? I've emailed several Hotels

and transport companies (to try and locate a suitable person) in the

area but no response so far. Is there another forum I should be posting

on? Obviously, these expat type  forums aren't suitable for this type of

enquiry.

PS I haven't used Fedex as the items are bulky, lightweight, and would

not justify forwarding by air and they need boxing which I don't think

Fedex would offer.

Try the AngloInfo Riviera site.

You may be genuine but you do sound just a bit "scammy" which may be why you're not getting any replies... though of course it may be that there are no CompleteFrance members on the Riviera.

Buying something from an ebay seller who won't ship to Australia and storing them with a local person who won't do the packaging / posting for you does sound suspect. [:D]

If I lived in Nice I would have helped you - this was in the days before extremism and Nigerian scams. Really sorry to say this, but gone are those days. I have to put on my sensible head which has taken precedence over random acts of kindness.

You will probably have to use an organisation or Fedex I'm afraid. Bon chance.

I'm afraid this is a very sensible answer, especially as you are a new poster here. Hope you find a way.
