It may be a long shot, but if there was a GRM-er headed from Seattle (well, Tacoma actually) to the Oakland area I have some Alfa parts that need to be sent that way. (measures 78" in length).
Greyhound quoted me $164 to throw it on the next bus (insured). I'd rather the money go to someone who will spend it on parts, booze, or a 10-year GRM subscription.
Not super time sensitive.
