Yes, you can have a friend or a certified shipper pick up for you. We do ask that you let us know who will be picking up for you for security purposes. You can do so by calling us at 510-428-0100, or emailing us at [email protected]. Please note that all shippers must provide the necessary documentation for shipping at the time of pickup, and that all items picked up within California are subject to California state sales tax (unless picked up by a certified shipper who provides a Bill of Lading).
