Yeah I don't understand it, as long as it was under 20kg they would have shipped it. And with a diff centre you just need to pack the bastard extra full a couple of times.

I'm sure if you organized a courier to pickup he may have been a bit more receptive, but I also understand that some ppl dont have the time to get to the post office during the day.

He may have been happy with someone collecting it for $1, so anything more he gets is a bonus (and he doesnt have to do anything)
