        Hi,

 

 I wonder if there is someone in the group who could help me with a shipping 
from California pickle I've gotten into.  My DAQ system broke down last week 
and I've bought a National Instruments daq board from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7627538876&ru=http://search.ebay.com:80/search/search.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26satitle%3D7627538876%26fvi%3D1

 

 The seller is insisting on using their own packing box instead of a standard 
Fedex box and this is pushing up the shipping costs to $173!  If they were 
to use a Fedex box it would only be $68.  So, I was wondering if anybody lived
close to the seller (Folger Ave.Berkeley, CA 94710 
- if you are within walking distance, they have a pickup service), if I could 
have it shipped to you for onward shipping (USPS or something) and I would 
reimburse the costs.

 

 Any help would be appreciated.  I've just sent one last email to the seller 
asking them to use a Fedex box but I'm not optimistic that I'll succeed.

 

 TIA

 

 Ian Smith
