Give me an education about this "PIRATE SHIP" method that has been discussed here.

I suppose that i could ask this question over on the Pirate Ship web site page, but i figured maybe i could ask on this site if anyone's done it.

Lets say that i want to purchase some heavy brake or suspension parts from a member on this forum, can i create a shipping label, pay for it, and have that guy UPS the package(s) to me, if i e mail, or regular mail the shipping tag to him?

Anyone here ever do anything like that?
Would save me, a buyer, a bunch of money, too, if i want to purchase something off this site.
Thank's for reading.

I just got a package 2 days ago from a member like 2500 miles away. I used Pirate Ship for my first time on this. I chose to go with UPS and saved about 50%.
I signed up, selected dimensions that the other member had already taken and overestimated on the weight to be sure. Then input credit card, get shipping label in a .pdf. I then emailed it to the member and he dropped the package off at a UPS drop point inside a pharmacy.
Awesome experience. I found a very rare Duster Space Package teillight cover on Ebay out of Penn. but the sale was local pick up only. I searched the name of his town on FABO. I found a very nice member that was near to help me out.
My local shipping store guy is a Mopar guy so I always like going there but Pirate Ship stole my business.
