the-obstacle Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 There's been a few people wanting pickups and shipping recently for various reasons, from Mark's Polar Bear to the little green terror and the little bristlenose I picked up yesterday and dropped at Ryan's for shipping to Ymir, and it got me wondering - if there was someone trusted in Auckland that did a regular round town pickup / dropoff service for aquatic items (fish, plants, food etc. from trademe or stores that don't ship direct) would YOU use it? I probably would if I knew I could buy something on trademe that was listed as being sold in Franklin and I knew that the fish delivery guy does a run down there on Saturday mornings and I would have the bag in my hand later that day. As long as the seller was able to hold the item until the next run etc. It could also be arranged to link in with the national pet transport people (I can't remember their name) to get items to them so they can then be sent down/up the line. Sort of like a bus service taking people to the train station. Just a thought. I have a LOT of time on my hands at the moment... edit: Oh, and it could be a service affiliated to the auckland fishkeepers or FNZAS even if that was something the clubs would be interested in?

waterlogged Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 that would be good, I think the main this is that is someone who knows about fish, even though their just transporting. Sounds like a good weekend job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophia Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 sounds good Dan, will you also do my shopping and drop off my library books? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I was thinking of buying a scooter and doing trips like that to help pay it off :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Don't be stupid, that would upset his centre of gravity! A 4ft would go in the front basket! :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li@m Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Dont forget the trolly to shift the 4ft.. or if you wanted to start a business get a truck fill it with tanks and tow a mini bus behind filled with fish. :lol: (photos from my trip to china) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I think this is more Josh's style of scooter - with a roof so he doesn't get his hair wet: This is what he will drive until he's saved up for the other one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 second one looks to have more room so he might be able to fit a 4 foot on the back :slfg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted June 26, 2011 Report Share Posted June 26, 2011 I'm 5 weeks off my restricted and will be putting in a lot of driving, so if anybody wants to pay gas(or fish) I can possibly do some pick ups and drop offs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
