Need someone to pickup and ship bike from WA to IN

I am purchasing a new bike from a shop in the Seatlle, WA area. However, the bike shop says they cannot ship the bike to me. They said it is has to do with the bike mfgs promotional price that I am buying the bike for. I have checked and the shop is legit. But, they will not ship the bike too me, even when I offered to pay a tech a $100 extra to do so after hours. Obviously, my $100 offer does not include the shipping. I ;ve had a bike shipped before from Vermont to Indiana; and was calculating this to be around the same ($150 for shipping cost).

So, what I am needing is an honest person to pickup the bike from the dealer, and ship the bike to me. I know this sounds like a scam and I can assure it is not. To be honest, this is a gift for my wife and I am bound and determined to do all I can trying to get this for her. I know that sounds even more like a scam, but feel free to give me a call on my work phone (listed in phone number section) and I will give you references/pertinent information to ease your worries. I would expect the same in return from the shipper, as I am showing a lot of trust (and/or ignorance) here....But, I am tired of living in a world where you're afraid to ask for help because you're embarrassed or just flat out worried some stranger will take advantage of you. Where I was raised, we don't do that to friends or strangers. I know others may have grown up differently, but its our world, and we each have the power to make it the best it can be. I am U.S. Citizen, living in Lafayette, IN (where Purdue is:). As a minimum requirement, the shipper must be a U.S. Citizen. Not that everyone else in the world is crooked, but I feel a little better knowing we share some connection:).

I will pay for the bike and shipping cost; and will reimburse you $100 for your time. I even looked at flying out to get it, but the cost roundtrip was going to be 500, then +100 for packing...so that's a dead end. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. EVEN IF YOU HAVE A BETTER IDEA:).

Jeremyuh. I use my phone for business during the day, so you can text me anytime. However, if you want to speak with me in person, wait to call until after 500. That's 5:00 eastern time zone.
