    Another CVR4 Postal request - Redhill, Surrey to Midlands

    Again checking to see if there is anyone who may be able to help with collecting a set of alloys. This time from Redhill, Surrey. Even just to collect from the eBay seller while I arrange collection etc.

    If there isn't, I guess Paisley will be getting another job for me

    I'll be happy to provide beer tokens for your trouble.

    I think I could be following your purchases around!

    I can pick these up as I will be passing Redhill on the M25 on Sunday. However, the timing might be an issue - I will be passing on the way there at about 6am, and on the return about 9pm. There is a possibility that the evening pick up could be somewhat earlier, depending on whether I get off work earlier.

    That would get them to Gloucester.

    Then on the Monday, I can go to Essex via the M5/M42/M40 and drop them off! This would have to be about 8/9pm or so, depending on exact timings.


    Is any of this of any use?

    Thanks Nev, that could work very well. I'll ask the seller if a Sunday evening pickup would be ok. I would then be able to collect from Gloucester Monday evening as thats about an hour down the M5 for me.

    I'll keep you posted.

    Graham, thanks for the offer. If the seller cant do Sunday, I may ask you to collect and I'll arrange courier from yours.

    I can pick them up any evening and then bring them to the RR day on the 9th if that works?

    Thanks for that kind offer Stuart. I was hoping to get the wheels up to me sooner than that and actually fitted in time for the rolling road day.

    If I cant get anything sorted via Nev/Graham I'll give you a shout.

    Thanks

    I can bring them by on the Monday evening as mentioned on my way to work. Remember, it's not my fuel!

    Even if you want to meet at Hopwood Services or something. It doesn't add much to my journey.

    You said you were heading to Essex on Monday? Thats the opposite direction as I'm in Wednesbury (M6 J9). But if you are heading north, that would work even better!

    Just waiting on a reply from the seller.

    I can legitimately use the M5/M42/M40/M25 route to get to Essex. The more direct A40/M40/M25 route is a lot of single carriageway so slower, and the southerly A417/A419/M4/M25 is not much shorter then the route nearest you!

    Hence the suggestion of Hopwood Services on the M42.

    Hahaha, I see. Yes that could very well work then. I'll be contacting the seller this evening to arrange date/time so will keep you posted.

    If it turns out that she is not around Sunday evening, I might ask @WOODY72 to collect and maybe you can collect from Graham on Sunday evening?

    No bother at all. I'm in Eastbourne in the day, so can easily pass Crawley as well.

    Mission Accomplished.

    Many thanks to Graham for collecting the wheels yesterday and to Nev for completing the mission up to me earlier today.

    CVR4 Postal comes and saves the day again.

    Even more pleased with my bargain wheels and tyres!
