I know that some people have managed to do this - but it seems pretty hit and miss.
I actually asked the question on the GG ebay site and they answered with:
"Thank you for your enquiry.
Unfortunately, only delivery is available on our eBay store and you cannot pick up in store."
If I could pick it up myself I would save about $44 and would definitely buy the chest freezer I have been looking at. With the delivery fee the deal is good - but not spectacular.
Anyone got any ideas whether it can be done or is it just luck of the draw whether you get a helpful store?
ps I went into a GG store yesterday and asked if they would do the same deal on the unit I wanted. They promised to call me back the same day. Still waiting for that call…
You're calling wrong people. After ordering, they'll let you know which store the item is being dispatched from, you then call that store and ask if pick up is ok (if they haven't already posted). Ebay TGG won't able to help you.
