i'm looking for a trustworthy floridian, i'm comeing over for my yearly dose of baby back ribs (november 10 to 23) and it would be great if i could find somebody i could have some stuff sent too (only some small bits and pieces from brent), which i could then pick up and take home without haveing customs chargeing me the earth to get into the uk. So if there is anybody who either lives in or near Orlando, Clearwater/Tampa, Crystal river or St Augustine and would not mind haveing some stuff delivered to their place and holding it for me until i pass through i would be eternely greatful. Here's hopeing anyway. Wayne

Maybe once you get here to the US Phil could send them to your hotel or any place you are staying if you pick up the shipping cost. I would do it but I'm a bit far away!

See I was thinking along the same lines, but my housemate is due to start work for Virgin Atlantic in 6 weeks time, so might need someone near JFK....

I'm in Tallahassee, not close enough to area you described. Maybe you could find an independent post office in the area and have it shipped there. Google it, or call the hotel and ask them where the nearest UPS or similar store is. Over here, they offer packing and shipping, also private post boxes.

Hey Gina, I'm in Norwalk, Ct, which I think is the corporate HQ of Virgan Atlantic USA. One hour, traffic permitting, from JFK. Could take three. Let me know if I can help out, Uncle Charlie

You don't have to pay for a post box - when I was travelling in the US, I used to get stuff sent general delivery
to a specific post office. They will usually hold it for 30 days to allow collection before returning to sender.
Alternatively, if you are staying in a hotel, have it sent there!
Have a good trip

Great Idea, Maybe some more members can get a break on shipping cost while visiting - so plan ahead! I wanted to send "piper" some Westley's Bleche Wite for his sidewalls, but it cost $36 to ship a $3.80 bottle of cleaner to Sweden. And, it would get there in only 6-10 weeks! Wow!
So, if you're gonna be here, you might as well use us if you can. Blessings!
By the way - I think I'd trust every member here that I have met so far. Good Folks, all around!

Wayne,
I live in Cape Canaveral, FL (0.5 miles from the ocean). Not sure if this is too far east for you, but you are more than welcome to have items sent to my house. UPS knows their way from Brent to my house very well. Currently I am on a business trip and won't be getting home until the morning of November 7th. But I will be home from the 7th through the end of November.
Tom
