Couriers -- anyone know? (1 Viewer)

[Jill Hives]

Okay, I want to send something from my office to another office but it has nothing to do with work on either end. It would be hard to put in a parcel box and actually send through the post and difficult for a bike massager to deliver it. Can people (non-business accounts) use local couriers? Has anyone ever done this? I'd rather not hire a cab to go all the way out there to drop it off and then go back to work. Partly because I am lazy and partly because I don't want to deal with it. How much will my avoidance cost me?

are you shipping body parts again?

I'm pretty sure anyone can use them Hayworth. They ain't cheap though. A taxi out and back might work out cheaper. Ring around and see.

Just tell lies and get the business to pay for it. Tell the boss that someone asked you for some company literature so you sent it out to them for example. Tell them it's a side project you've been working on to help grow the business. But you didn't want to touch base with your boss as you weren't prepared to concrete it. Then put all your ducks in a line, and throw them at the wall to see what sticks.

Most companies seem to require one to start an account, which seems more business like than a one off. I think I might go the high school route here and give it to a mutual friend to give to the person. Avoiding having to do it myself. Sometimes I question if I'm really turning 33. Ridiculous. Thanks anyway.

So......what you're all saying is that I should quit my job and this whole rat race thing and become a bicycle courier? That had been on my mind.

Fine, it's settled then. Thanks guyz
