Anyone in New Orleans, please ?

Featured Replies

Hi.
In need of suggestions how to do this I have never done before:
Mover crews do not do it. Do not know if asking UPS to pickup works if needs being better packed. Unsure if an Uber driver would.

Need to pickup an item or two at a warehouse that does NO shipping, and send it via UPS/Fedex/USPS to KY.
If carton is flimsy, to secure it with duct tape or properly. and take it to a shipper. Or do you know the way it is supposed to be done, or a person in New Orleans that does the service ? Paid, of course.

Tried the UPS store, they do not pickup. Tried Taskrabbit and found the nastiest automated non-human computer-only interface that does not want to interact with an old fart, and no phone.☹️
Edited: Just tried Uber-courier. Full computer interaction, they are assumming things and asking guesses from me. Zero humans.☹️

Thanks.

Check with a local courier service there in NOLA. Do you know the weight? I'd pick a small, local company, maybe even a moving company in case they have a small vehicle. A big company probably won't be able to help you with something outside their protocols, but a small local one might just be happy for the business.

I would try what Phi suggests and contact a local courier or taxi service. If the service won't do it, you may be able to get one of the drivers to help (which is what I would try anyway). Not sure what you are shipping but I know NO is one of the most expensive places in the US to ship anything LTL (less than truckload) to or from, so I feel for you. It is not likely to be cheap.
