I can't get to post office can I change to buyer collects as he's local ?

sadly due to last-minute commitments, i can't get to the post office -can I ask buyer (who is local ) to collect or i can drop it off quicker than post before christmas ?

You need to contact the buyer and see what they want to do.

They may say what I am thinking, which is, 'How come you can drop it off but can't get to the Post Office?'

You can but you won't have proof of delivery.   If it's more than a few £s it would be safer to cancel the transaction (with buyer's agreement) via the dropdown menu arrow alongside the item on your orders page and select Cancel order > Buyer asked to cancel.   Refund will be issued in the process.

Then relist as collection only for the buyer to buy and pay again.   They will receive a collection confirmation  code in an email to give to you.   See "Proof of collection" on here:

Thank you I'm new to selling. I didn't know about the drop-down menu I've asked for pick up or personal delivery as they aren't too far away . and they probably would like it before Christmas. thanks again
