Someone only offers pickup.. and I'm nowhere near that.. need a small arcade related item picked up, packaged, and I could provide a shipping label.. I'll pay for the pickup, packing service, etc. Item would be about 20 inches by maybe 12 inches.. not sure of the weight. I could ship via UPS, FedEx, or USPS whatever is cheaper.

I've contacted 2 random courier services and we'll see if they answer.
 
I may have found someone. I went on one of those apps you hire people to do stuff for you like move.. I mean technically mine involves moving (and packing). Will probably take the person 20 minutes and they'll make $75.
 
How Chickentendies. What service did you end up using? I need the same.
Ooh I never ended up doing it. I went with um.. I forget the name of the service.. might have been TaskRabbit.. like one of those services where you find people to do odd jobs or handy work around the house. There was a tabletop arcade machine at a thrift store. I said, I'll create a shipping label all you need to do is give UPS store the PDF file for printing, I'll pay for a box and some packing material.. and I'll give you an extra $$ for your time.. whole process should take him not long.. drive 1 or 2 miles to pick item up, buy box and packing material, pack item inside UPS store and hand over to them with label they print... he could keep whatever packing material is left over. I figure the whole process would take him less than an hour and I was offering to pay a few hours of his time so let's say $150 (I forget the amount).

I thought it was a good deal..

My reason for cancelling? The service I used charges their independent contractors if they open my message. How stupid is that? They should only charge their people if they accept a job from me. Not just for opening the message. They have to open my message to see any specifics of my job. I'm never using that service again and I gave them a piece of my mind.

I cannot remember if it was TaskRabbit or another site.
