The contact a local for help thread.

You need to PM one of the helpers listed in the first post - they don't read the thread.

 

As the first post had reached its character limit, here are the guidelines for using this service.

PLEASE READ THESE GUIDELINES BEFORE REQUESTING HELP OR ASKING TO BECOME A HELPER

GUIDELINES FOR REQUESTING HELP:

• Contact helpers for help via PM - do not ask in the thread.
• Leave sufficient time for a helper to respond - we would recommend at least 5 days wherever possible.
• You can check a helper's profile to see when they last logged in.
• A helper doesn't have to reply or help - if you do not receive a reply, try another helper.
• If an item is on an auction site, state the maximum bid you are willing to make.
• You are liable for all shipping costs, including shipping to the helper and from the helper to you. International shipping is expensive. Feel free to ask in advance how much the helper estimates shipping to be, but don't expect them to know. You can find out weight and dimensions look up postal services online yourself.
• The helper is entitled to ask for a small amount to cover their time and costs (packaging materials where the original is insufficient, fuel to get to the Post Office, PayPal fees etc.) - it is best to ask upfront how much they want.
• Ask the helper what form of payment they accept. We would recommend PayPal or a bank transfer. You should expect to cover the helper's fees.
• If you ask a helper to buy something, you are entering a written contract with them to purchase the item from them. The price may or may not be pre-agreed - it is unlikely the helper will know exact shipping costs. If you think you might pull out AFTER requesting a purchase due to high shipping costs, this service is not for you!
• Please leave feedback for the helper after the transaction is complete. If their feedback page is not listed next to their name below, create it in the feedback forum.

GUIDELINES FOR HELPERS:
If you would like to offer your services - great!

• To be eligible to help, you must have 50 quality posts and have been a member for three months.
• Ensure you can speak your local language (for buying / contacting sellers) and English (for communicating with the buyer on the forum) reasonably well.
• Either try to log in fairly regularly (e.g. at least once a week), or ensure your settings allow you to receive an e-mail when you receive a PM and log in when you receive such notification.
• If you are going to be away for a prolonged period (e.g. two weeks or more), post in the thread stating this, and how long you expect to be away for.
• Before you enter into an agreement and bid on or purchase an item, ensure the member requesting your help is fully aware there will be charges on top of the list price. Ask what their maximum bid is in the case of an auction, inform them how much shipping to you will cost, give an estimate of shipping to the buyer if possible (or at least point out there will be an extra shipping cost and that International shipping can be expensive) and inform them upfront what you require to cover your costs (e.g. fuel, packing materials).
• We highly recommend using a tracked service, with insurance. A middleman carrier service may be cheap.
• If you're outside Europe and the buyer is within Europe, inform them there may be a Customs charge payable. We highly recommend NOT undervaluing parcels - it is technically fraud and, at best, you would only be entitled to the declared amount in compensation should anything happen to the parcel.
• Ask the buyer how they will be wanting to pay you in advance. We recommend accepting PayPal or perhaps a bank transfer.
• Please leave feedback for a buyer after your transaction is complete. Use the search box to search for their username, and tick "Search titles only".
