Perhaps a STICKY here or another category.

Informal networks have worked well for me for either shipping or picking up and delivering to a meet. Posting your willingness here will improve the quality of the thread.
I would think it should be understood that the person doing you a favor would be expected to use reasonable care and follow any packing instructions, but risk of loss has to stay with the person getting the bike- otherwise the person doing the pick up takes on too much risk for doing a favor.
Even if a seller ships, sometimes it would be better to have an experienced bicycle shipper do the job- I know I give instructions to sellers - they get offended- do it their way- (leave the rear fender on) crunch of the fender from the when shipper throws the box on end....
Some people are happy to do it as a favor, others will charge- hey time is money. That is to be worked out tween the parties.
