Selling a tool set in Stockton
Stockton is an inland port connected to the sea by a deep water channel, at the head of a large agricultural delta. It has a university, a substantial farming economy around it and summers that are consistently very hot. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
The city is flat and driving is assumed, so anything large is straightforward. Summer heat is severe, so agree a morning or evening slot rather than the middle of the day.
Summer heat here is severe and sustained. On anything stored without cooling, check plastics, seals and batteries, all of which degrade well before they look wrong.
Stockton, in California, has around 320,000 people, which means a smaller local market, so price sensibly and expect the right buyer to be willing to travel a little. Los Angeles, San Diego and San Jose are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Stockton
USPS, UPS and FedEx all cover the country. USPS Ground Advantage is normally cheapest for anything under a few pounds in weight; above that the gap narrows quickly.
