LONG TIME NO SEE — EMMANU19 IS BACK! NORTHERN CALIFORNIA PICKUP & SHIPPING TO NIGERIA

Good day, ladies and gentlemen.

It has been a while. I have been away for some time juggling school, work, career, family life, and my businesses, but I am back.

For those who knew me from my Texas/DFW days, I previously offered pickup services for items purchased from eBay, OfferUp, Facebook Marketplace, and other sellers, as well as personal shopping and shipping to Nigeria.

I have now relocated to Northern California, with my base around ZIP code 95472, and I will be offering the service again.

Northern California is a different market from DFW and Southern California, so my pickup and shipping rates have changed accordingly.

AREAS I CAN COVER

I can consider pickups within approximately a 3-hour driving radius of 95472, including:

San Francisco & Bay Area
San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, San Jose and surrounding areas.

Sacramento & Central Valley
Sacramento, Davis, Roseville and surrounding areas.

North Bay, North Coast & Wine Country
Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Healdsburg, Ukiah, Mendocino and surrounding areas.

If your seller is somewhere else in Northern California, send me the ZIP code or address and I will confirm whether I can make the trip.

PICKUP FEES

For pickups under 1 hour away, excluding unusual traffic conditions:

1–5 miles: $35
5–10 miles: $40
10–15 miles: $45
15–20 miles: $50

Continue adding $5 for each additional 5 miles while the location remains within the under-1-hour bracket.

For longer distances:

1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes: $100 flat

Around 2 hours: $150 flat

Around 3 hours: $170 flat

Please send the pickup address before agreeing with your seller so I can confirm the exact charge.

Drop-off fee: $30

Bulk deals can receive discounts on both pickup and shipping fees. You can also negotiate with me. If the numbers make sense, we will do business.

SHIPPING TO NIGERIA

Current shipping rates:

Phones — $30 each

Laptop, unboxed/light — $65

Boxed laptop / Alienware / larger gaming laptop — $85

PS5 unboxed — $70

PS5 boxed — $90

Earbuds — $10

Wrist watches — $15

For items not listed above, send me the item details, weight and preferably pictures so I can quote you.

Exchange rate is always based on the current CADRemit rate.

Bulk shipments get discounted rates depending on quantity.

PICKUP RULES

Please communicate with your seller properly before sending me out.

For phones, confirm whether the device is clean, unlocked or locked, and whether there are any account/device locks. Send me the IMEI/serial number beforehand whenever possible so I can compare it with the device presented by the seller.

I will NOT knowingly pick up an iCloud-locked phone. If I arrive and the phone presented by the seller is iCloud locked, the pickup will be treated as a failed pickup.

If a pickup fails because the seller does not show up, presents a different item, changes the agreement, or the item is not as represented, the pickup fee is non-refundable because the trip has already been made.

I can send pictures and videos from the pickup location to help you inspect the item remotely, but you remain responsible for approving the item before I complete the transaction.

INFORMATION NEEDED FOR PICKUP

Your name:
Nairaland username:
Link to the item:
Item description:
Price agreed with seller:
Seller's phone number:
Pickup address:
Screenshot/pictures of the item:
IMEI/serial number, when applicable:
Seller's preferred payment method:

Please DO NOT send money until I tell you to do so.

MY AVAILABILITY

I am a very busy man these days, so please give me as much advance notice as possible. I am juggling work, school, career and my businesses.

My work gives me some flexibility, but last-minute pickups may not always be possible.

For now, my general availability is:

Monday–Wednesday: 8:00 AM–2:30 PM

All week: 6:00 PM–9:00 PM

Availability still needs to be confirmed before you send a seller my way.

DISCLAIMER FOR ITEMS PURCHASED FROM ME

If you purchase an item directly from me:

1. Request pictures and, where possible, a video of the item before it leaves my possession.

2. If you intend to forward the item to another state or another person, inspect it through pictures/video before forwarding it.

3. You have 5 days from the date the item is picked up from me to report a complaint regarding the condition in which the item was supplied.

4. Any refund or adjustment will depend on the circumstances and the condition of the item when it left my possession.

This service worked well for us back in Texas, and I am looking forward to building it again here in California.

Those who dealt with me during the old DFW days already know how we operated. For the new people, welcome.

LET'S DO BUSINESS, GUYS.

Bulk deals = better pickup and shipping rates.

And yes, you can negotiate with me. If it makes sense, we move.

Welcome onboard!

- $28 as against the $20 we're used to
- $45 as against the $40 we're used to
- Dropoff should be at least 10$ seeing as you're just starting out and also to compensate for the $28 shipping rate. This would also help you garner followers and customers within a short time.

Laptop shipping charges should be reviewed downwards as well..If $45 is for basic laptops, how much would you charge for gaming laptops? Kindly reconsider.

Once again, you're welcome...

Oh? A flat rate of 45$. Perfect!


12$ works and I'm glad you're able to at least shift ground a bit to accommodate us..

We hope things get better in the shortest of time. Thank you.

emmanu19:
That's the flat rate for the laptop Shipping I ship by the pound It doesn't matter if it's gaming or not if it's above 7lbs then is extra 4/lbs and not 5 no more.
I can't guarantee the shipping can change now but as time goes on it can get better will always strive to find the cheapest and fastest way possible. Will compromise on the pickup fee to $12 thats as far as I can go
Will update now

Kudos!!
But then I noticed something this issue of extra $50 on items from $700 upward get as e be. Most pickers are not even using it. Even Lionlee that initiated it then got a reason for doing so even by then he charges 370/$1 and every pickers are copying it. Pls look into it pls. e get it why. Yalhaji, Bukiemore, Donaltus and few others don’t charge that extra fee. Now that some pickers charges from 440-450 it won’t be fair to charge extra $50 again for item worth $700 and above.

Since items are not for local consumption.

Could you check how to reclaim local tax back since proof of export exist
