Good deed required Ticino - Pfister Contone

A good friend needs 17 seat cushions that she found and has reserved at Pfister Contone. I understand that they were the only store with enough stock. Unfortunately (since they only cost CHF 1.- each on liquidation) they will not transfer them to the store in Etoy VD nor send them (great customer service, especially as this person is already a client).

Anyhow, she is looking for someone in the neighbourhood who would be willing to go to the store, buy the seat cushions, find/buy a box or two and send them by mail. She will TWINT the person the money (might need two payments depending if you need to ship one box or two based on the size of these things). My thinking is yes to two boxes.

She has foreseen CHF 30.- for a bottle of wine for you (you will have to buy it yourself, of course).

So, if someone is going near the store tomorrow or Saturday and would have some time for this project/good deed, please let me know on the thread and via DM and we can take it from there.

Here is what they look like.

Many thanks.

Hi Tom,

Monday would work just fine. I was just opening with the idea that someone might be out doing other shopping on the weekend.

I will send you a DM and we can get things started.

Many thanks.

It took me a week to get the boxes (ordered online from Jumbo, went to pick them up and they didn't have them, though online showed them in stock), got them on the 20th and posted them, received on the 21st.

Fortunately I work 1km from Jumbo Mendrisio, have packing tape at work, and park my car next to the local post office, so quite convenient other than the hour round trip to Contone.
