Courier service (or kind Mumsnetter) to collect, package and return a toy from Premier Inn, Thetford

[Lostandfound2]

Help! I need to arrange a courier to collect, package/label and return a small soft toy left at a Premier Inn.

Can anyone recommend a courier that can do this? It is harder than I thought to find a courier that will package and label an item.

Where is the premier inn? I’d be happy to help if it was local so I’m sure others would be

Can’t the hotel post it for you if you cover postage?

It’s in Thetford

Unfortunately not, they said it’s collection or arrange my own courier. We are 3hrs away.

If you report your post you could ask MN to change the title to add, "Calling MNers in Thetford". I'm pretty sure people on here have collected things like this before

I got a lovely mnetter to pick up a left behind cuddly toy at a premier inn once

(waves to the lovely Lucinda)

I’d try that. Put “premier inn thetford” in your title.

Thank you for the suggestions. I’ve asked to change the title.

I realise the item is likely very sentimental and battered, but could you post a pic and we might be able to find a replacement? Would that be cheaper than the courier option?

I'll be driving past Thetford on Thursday and would be happy to collect it for you.

Thank you so much. I’m new to Mumsnet but will work out how to private message you now.

Oh @TwistedSpout thats so lovely! Ive had a really shitty day doubting humanity, and you have restored my faith in humanity!

Sorry you've had a bad day x. Someone found and posted back DS's special toy when he was 5 (it had an address label on luckily) and it was magic. So happy to do the same for someone else!

Well am so pleased to see how well it worked out for you originally and your lovely offer!

To keep it safe, could it be picked up and then uploaded on Vinted so the posting goes smoothly and protects people?

Thank you. I don’t think a new one will
do the trick as this one is well loved. TwistedSpout has very kindly offered to collect it for me.

@Lostandfound2 Did you get the toy back?

Yes, TwistedSpout very kindly picked him up and posted him home.

Hooray for @TwistedSpout !

Aww lovely🧸
