So I bought a pipette puller on ebay, and it turns out to be local pickup only.  The unit weighs approx. 30 lbs, and they won't ship it to me.  I'm hoping someone here might be willing to pick it up at 1576 Rollins Rd in Burlingame, CA.  Looks like it's right off the 101.

This unit is for my non-profit's efforts to create a transgenic mosquito for vector control in relation to the Zika virus.  We'd be hoping to pay around $30 and/or a tax-deductible donation receipt to cover time and expense.  We'd also handle the shipping cost of course.

Sorry if this message would be better on Craigslist, but I tried there already and I think I'm just getting scammers replying.  If you can help us out please contact me ASAP via text/phone/email, as they are charging storage fees by the day.

Jake,

Do you need it shipped somewhere or delivered? Where are you located
that the unit needs to be?

It needs to be shipped to Moscow, Idaho.  Basically the unit just needs to be picked up and delivered to the UPS store 5 min away.  If you can box the unit that would be wonderful, but I believe the UPS store can handle that if needed.  I already contacted the nearest UPS store and it does not seem to be a problem to supply payment info via email to have it shipped.

Please shoot me a text or email and I'll send the pickup number and shipping info.  PayPal will be the easiest way to pay you for your time, but WU can be arranged also!

Still hoping to find someone to help me out here.  Looking at google there is actually a USPS directly across the street from the location.  If the money isn't enough or you're too far away just let me know and we can work something out.
