To think I'm not a delivery service??

[HipHipHippo]

I'm only now just getting around to sorting and selling all of the baby bits that we have accumulated over the last three years.
I am so excited at the prospect of having more space!
Selling on Facebook seems to be the easiest way at the moment, so that is what I'm doing. The problem is that I live a good 20 mins drive out of town. I am however in town to take DC to visit my parents at least once a week.
When someone is interested and asks about collection I always let them know that I live at X but I will be in town on Y date so that they have an option. Bringing whatever I'm selling with me isn't a problem so if they're happier picking it up from town then fair enough.
I can't tell you how often people have then said 'oh yes, can you please drop it to me while you're in town?'
AIBU to think that I'm not a sodding delivery service. I don't want to spend my time in town driving around to other peoples homes? I'm there to visit parents and you can come to me?
Wow sorry, but of a rant 

It sounds like you are offering to drop things off. If you want it gone is it really such a major hassle? You could even say it's £2.50 extra to drop off or you can collect from X

I don’t think they are being unreasonable to ask - just say that doesn’t work for you and give them your parent’s address to come and collect the items :)

Funnily enough, I'd rather drop the stuff round to people though because if you arrange to meet them somewhere they might not turn up. Or might keep you waiting. Obviously I wouldn't drive half an hour out of my way to drop stuff off, but if I was in the general area I'd see it as more convenient than meeting up.

You need to be clearer.

'I'll be in town on x date and you can collect from (general area that you'll be in)'

Just keep it simple. Pick up only

Do your parents want strangers pitchimg up to collect things at their house??? Sorry if i was them i'd think my house wasnt a collection point and you were there to visit and spend time witb them not to act as a point of sale.

Is there not anGB sellibgvsite more local to you? The pint is that FB local selling grouos are meant to be local, and it doesn’t sound like you are very local. I live 20-30 mins drive from 3 big towns, and have had no success selling on them. I have had much more success on a group for my local village and surrounding villages.

By being 20 mins out of town and specifying where and when you will delivery, yiu are not making your sales very convenient to your buyers, particularly if they don’t drive.
