    Default Van to Inverness?

    Is anyone doing a trip to Inverness with an empty van any time soon? We normally give unsold items from church bazaar to a charity we have close contacts with in Inverness but this year their van isn't fit to make the trip to collect from Wick. Needs a van because there are several boxes of books as well as clothes etc. More details to anyone who can help. tel. 07748 598013. Thanks.
    The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

    why don't you phone Ajg parcels. I'm sure they would have space in a van to inverness, tell them its a donation to charity I'm sure they will assist!

    Hadn't thought of that and I know one of their drivers so - thanks, good idea. Will try them.

    No go, their vans don't go back empty.

    I think so - not sure yet how much appilihp can take (did you see his post?). Probably won't manage the whole load as there are loads of boxes of books this time from book sales. We get so many donated, which is great but many people return books they bought last time or bring more when they come so after a while we just don't have storage space. The charity said they would be grateful, so .. Will let you know later if that's OK. Thanks for offer.

    Thanks for the offers of help. Euan - now sorted for a second trip with your suggestion after appilihp kindly took the first load. Nice to know one can always rely on org folk to help in a good cause.
