I'm in the same boat. Todd said that there is a shipping store in
town. Is there anyone close to Greensburg, IN and could help get some
things shipped?
From Todd: Fed Ex does list a "Goin' Postal" franchised packing and
shipping store in Greensburg, Indiana, at 1913 N. Greensburg Crossing,
812-662-9701. Perhaps Bob could deliver to that location in town and
they could pack and ship it for you?
