Hello freelancers,
I'm looking for an online shopper to pick up 3 vent covers from HomeDepot.com. I have an exact url to the item that I want, and I need 3 of them.
Basically, [login to view URL] won't ship directly to Canada, and I really need this specific size of vent, so I need someone to:
1) Go onto the website and place the actual order, to buy the vents and ship the package to their house - you need to live in the United States - [login to view URL] accepts payments via Paypal or credit card. Don't worry about being out of pocket, as I will advance the funds for this order (plus a handling fee). Just so you know, the total price - including HomeDepot shipping the package to your home - is only $30 USD.
2) Then if you could please email the HomeDepot confirmation to me, and then wait for the standard shipping (3-5 days) and receive the package, addressed to you.
3) Then you simply goto UPS (or FedEx) and re-address the unopened package, and send directly to my address in Ontario, Canada. Once you email the UPS (or FedEx) Tracking Number to me, I will send any outstanding payment for your assistance :-)
This would suit someone who often orders online and often uses courier services, for instance an eBay store owner.
If this works out, I am often buying from U.S. online stores, so this could lead to future work as an online shopper.
For payment, I will be paying all funds in U.S. dollars from my Paypal account. I was thinking about an upfront handling fee of $10-15 to place and receive the order (plus I will give you the upfront payment of $30 to cover all the costs of the vents). Then, when you've promptly couriered the package to me, you would let me know the exact UPS/FedEx charges when you email the Tracking Number (it would be great if you could also send a scanned copy of any courier receipts/expenses, if possible), and I would Paypal the final payment for the courier expenses PLUS your payment for this prompt service... $10-15?
Hope this sounds worth your while! Looking forward to hearing from anyone who's interested, and let me know if there is any questions.
Ideally, I would like the online order to be placed on Tuesday July 5th, so I hope to make any decisions on Monday July 4th and then I will immediately Paypal the first set of funds for placing the online order.
