Bought Something at Auction but the Seller Won’t Ship? We’ll Pick It Up and Send It to You.

Winning an online auction should feel exciting — not stressful. But many government auctions, liquidation platforms, and local auctioneers require local pickup only, leaving out-of-state buyers stuck trying to figure out logistics. That’s where TYMLI Errands comes in.

We act as your trusted local pickup partner in Seattle, helping auction buyers coordinate item collection, transport, and shipping assistance when sellers don’t offer delivery or packaging. Instead of flying across the country or losing your winning bid, you can rely on a local professional to handle the pickup and shipping process for you.

Why Auction Buyers Need a Local Pickup Partner

Many auction platforms specialize in liquidation, surplus, or government inventory. They focus on selling items — not shipping them. That creates a major challenge for remote buyers.

Common problems auction buyers face:

  • “Pickup only” requirements with strict deadlines
  • Sellers refusing to package or ship items
  • Large warehouses with scheduled pickup windows
  • Limited communication from auction staff
  • Fear of losing items due to missed pickup deadlines

TYMLI Errands solves these problems by acting as your on-the-ground pickup agent in the Seattle area.

Auctions We Commonly Assist With

We help customers who purchase items from a wide range of auction platforms and local auction houses, including:

  • Government surplus and municipal auctions
  • Police or state liquidation auctions
  • Industrial and warehouse liquidations
  • Online auction marketplaces
  • Technology and electronics auctions
  • Estate and storage unit auctions
  • Business asset liquidation events

Examples of items buyers frequently need picked up include:

  • Laptops and computer equipment bought in bulk
  • Electronics and office equipment
  • Tools and surplus inventory
  • Small machinery or boxed goods
  • Retail liquidation items
  • Specialty collectibles and unique finds

If the auction requires local pickup in Seattle or surrounding areas, we can help coordinate the process.

How Our Auction Pickup & Shipping Assistance Works

We keep the process simple so you stay in control without needing to be physically present.

Step 1 — Send Auction Details
Provide the auction location, pickup window, item description, and any instructions from the seller.

Step 2 — Local Pickup Coordination
We arrive at the auction site or warehouse during the approved pickup time and collect the items according to your instructions.

Step 3 — Shipping Preparation
You can provide prepaid shipping labels, or we can coordinate drop-off at UPS, USPS, FedEx, or another approved carrier.

Step 4 — Confirmation & Tracking
Once items are shipped, you receive confirmation and tracking information so you can monitor delivery.

Who This Service Is Designed For

TYMLI Errands works with buyers who need a reliable local presence but don’t want to travel.

This includes:

  • Out-of-state auction winners
  • Resellers buying bulk electronics or inventory
  • Small businesses sourcing liquidation stock
  • Collectors purchasing rare items
  • Remote buyers needing a trusted Seattle pickup agent

If you’ve ever won an auction and thought, “How am I supposed to pick this up from Seattle?” — this service was built for you.

Why Auction Sellers Often Don’t Offer Shipping

Auctioneers and liquidation warehouses typically operate at high volume. Their goal is to sell inventory quickly, not manage packaging or logistics for individual buyers. Many facilities:

  • Require buyers to bring their own transportation
  • Provide minimal assistance with loading or packing
  • Enforce strict pickup deadlines
  • Do not handle shipping arrangements

TYMLI Errands bridges this gap by providing the local coordination sellers don’t offer.

What Makes TYMLI Different From Freight or Shipping Companies

Traditional carriers expect items to already be packaged and ready for shipment. Freight companies often require pallets, contracts, or large minimums.

We focus on local coordination first, helping you complete the most difficult part of auction buying — getting the item from the auction site into the shipping network.

Our role includes:

  • Local pickup at auction warehouses
  • Communication with auction staff
  • Transport to shipping carriers
  • Flexible coordination for smaller or specialty items

We do not replace shipping carriers — we help connect your auction purchase to them.

Pain Points We Solve for Auction Buyers

We designed this service specifically around the real frustrations buyers face:

  • You can’t travel to Seattle in time for pickup
  • The auction site refuses to ship your items
  • Sellers expect local coordination you can’t provide
  • Bulk purchases like laptops require organized pickup
  • You need a reliable local contact instead of random gig workers

With TYMLI Errands, you gain a dependable Seattle-based partner who understands local logistics.

Important Service Notes

To keep the process safe and efficient:

  • Buyers must provide verified payment and authorization before pickup.
  • Shipping labels or carrier arrangements are typically provided by the customer.
  • We assist with local pickup and shipping coordination — we are not a freight carrier.
