There is an item on trademe I am interested in, but it is in Whitby Wlg and I am in Auckland and the seller is not willing to package it up and send it to me.   I also suspect they are not willing to package it and print out a courier tag etc if I try and arrange that.

 

So what options are there for me to arrange a courier company to go to their place, pick it up and package it, and then send it on to me?  Basically with zero friction on their end.  The item is a photo in a photo frame so its not particularly large or heavy.

See if a friendly (so all of us I hope) GZer can do it for you ? :) (Not me, I'm in AKL as well :D )

Was it listed as pickup only?

I dealt with these guys several times a few years ago and they were excellent. They do exactly what you are looking for.

Sort of, so I asked if they'd package it and their responses seem to indicate its a no (their responses are a bit cryptic ).   So if I can arrange something then its all sorted.
