Hi! I need a few small, rather inexpensive pieces (GPIO pin connectors) and shipping (4 miles away) costs more than the product, Can I pay for it and have you toss it in a bag out your front door?

Thanks!

Steve

As much as I would like for this to be possible, right now are still are not allowing any type of local pick up ☹

I also would like to see a resumption of local pickup. I’d certainly be purchasing more SparkFun products if local pickup was offered again!

Yet another plea for local pickup. Shipping costs are out of sight. I know I would be spending more $$ at SparkFun. I promise to wear my N95.

Why no local pickup? The pandemic is over.

Bump to resurrect from the dead - any chance of local pickup coming back?

I would be ordering a lot more from Sparkfun if I could do the 5 minute drive from work to pick up my $10 order, instead of paying another $16 for shipping. At that point paying the $21 from Amazon with free delivery makes more sense. I’d really like to support the local option here but can’t justify the extra expense to my management.
