    Traveling through Alaska in my second gen. I need to pick up a couple of things from Amazon for the truck. Was hoping I could find someone kind enough where I could ship to them and come pick it up. I'll be in Anchorage in a week or two. I'm close to Fairbanks now.

    Thanks in advance for any and all consideration you can give this matter. Diesel heater and some lights. My diesel heater crapped out. Tired of trying to fix it.

    Thanks AK Kyle. I found a UPS store that was kind enough to let me use their address for no charge in Fairbanks. Thanks again!

    Thanks Mr. AK dude man. I wound up getting it figured out but figured I'd leave this thread open for anyone else that's looking for delivery services. I found a UPS store that was kind enough to let me use their address. I haven't gone and picked up my stuff yet but I emailed them late last night and they seem amenable.

    Mr. AK, dude man, Alaska's been awesome so far. Spending the night in dead horse at the moment. It's nice to be camping where you have internet service. It's warming up to in the 20s tonight.

    Hey thanks for all of the replies. The UPS solution i posted earlier, worked like a charm. The folks were really nice there. I am now the proud owner of 2 - 9" round led lights. I am looking to mount them tomorrow. I wish I had them when I went up to Dead Horse. :) I also wish I had a CB radio. Next time perhaps.

    Thank you. Mr. Madimor , I was able to find a couple of parking lots to do the work. I'm getting pretty good at changing my oil on the road too. Turns out I wound up using UPS stores. The first one I was able to get about three packages free of charge. The second one charge me $5 a package. Which wasn't too bad. All things considered. Would have been nice to connect. Just finishing up at Whittier right now. Waiting for the tunnel to open up. Not sure what my next stop is, but I'll be heading out of the state in the next week or so.
