I’m on the East Coast, and have a damaged package (USPS) that never made it to its destination. USPS can neither deliver it nor send it back. It’ll have to be picked up and repackaged. Any takers and I’ll PM the details on what I would need. Needless to say, compensation for postage, packaging, and trouble would be included! ---

That really bites. I am not anywhere near where you are, I’m just posting to bump this and offer sympathy. USPS. Of course. ---

I’m also very far away but don’t mind bumping. If you can’t find somebody here, what about a service like Taskrabbit? This seems right up its alley. ---

I’m nowhere near Kansas City but this seems a crazy situation to be in; what if you know no one in the area? ---

Eh. . . worst case scenario will be a speed run to KC. Taskrabbit might hold some promise, though. Cheaper than two plane tickets. ---

I’m in Topeka, Kansas; I may or may not be able to help, but PM me and we can discuss. ---

@HeyHomie is from somewhere in sorta-rural MO. He may be close enough to KC to help. If he’s willing that is; I’m certainly not trying to volunteer him. ---

Thanks for thinking of me, but I’m on the opposite side of the state from KC. A solid 250 miles away. ---

All’s well that ends well. Thanks for the tip on ‘Task Rabbit,’ @Johnny_Bravo . I was able to make contact with someone, and this type of service was right up her alley. ---

If Task Rabbit doesn’t come through, shoot me a PM. I’ll help you out. ---

Thanks for the offer, but she did come thru. I received the package yesterday. ---
