Looking for somebody in Pittsburgh for a favour!

Post by Jchiang9 »

Hi all,

Just wanted to see if there was somebody in Pittsburgh that might be willing to do a favour in helping acquire an instrument. Not a high dollar horn and is french horn sized. The store won't ship so I thought I would try my luck here! Would need it packed up and shipped to Canada. Let me know if you might be interested and what you think would be fair compensation for your time and packing materials!

Cheers,
Justin

You might reach out to James Gourlay, tuba virtuoso, on Facebook, and see if one of his university students will pick it up and take it to a UPS Store for a fee.
UPS Store charges considerably more than UPS in my experience, and will also pack, but also for an expensive price.
If the place that you bought it from will actually pack it, I guess you pay such a student to (rather than a UPS Store) take it to the post office and pay the postage.
