Does anyone live around Plymouth, PL6?

I am going to sound crazy but I live in Manchester and there is a pair of Next curtains listed on FB market place in Plymouth that I have been searching for, for months.

I ordered 2 pairs in the sale and they messed up and only sent one, then they were sold out.
I bought decor, bedding and cushions to match the curtains and can't put them up as I only have 1 pair! I have 2 windows in the room.

Could anyone please collect them from the seller and post them to me? 😭

She will not post them. I even went and found a Plymouth facebook group and asked on there but because my FB is locked down and I don't use my real name on there they all think I am a scammer, which is understandable really in this day and age unfortunately.

If I could find the curtains anywhere else I wouldn't be doing this. I know it seems unhinged over curtains but its been months of checking ebay, vinted, Fb. Gumtree and I've never managed to find a single listing for them in any size and these are BNIP and the right size!

I don't know the best way to make it safe. I thought paypal but everyone on the FB page are saying this is a known scam for paypal?! I was thinking maybe an Ebay listing once they've been picked up?

I will cover all expenses and compensate for time!

(Promise, not a scammer or nutter)

Or (I know this is highly unlikely) but if anyone is travelling from Plymouth and going to or past Manchester anytime in the next few weeks I could meet you with cash, which removes the risk a little? (One lady on FB was actually doing that but think people have put her off with the scam accusations)
