About Me*

I am a collector and repairer of antique clocks, predominantly German mantle and box clocks by Gustav Becker,Junghans and Kienzle, and have a clock workship set up for that which includes clock repair tools and a Sherline lathe for fine work. My "dirty" shop has the Delta contractor's saw, Jet Band Saw, for cutting wood and veneer for cases. I am adding a 10" metal-cutting lathe by South Bend, and a mill for making and cutting gears and pinions. I often buy items such as machines and equipment for use in my shop, and require shipping for them. I also occasionally buy antiques and clocks online and need shipping. I had a previous account on UShip with a perfect feedback record, but left when an unscrupulous shipper took a $650 deposit and ran off, and was suspended. I have returned using my Ebay nickname. So far so good, except for one broker that you will find in my profile. Photos of my shop appear on this profile, so that you can see what I do. Thumbz

Rating: Cancellation Left by: FairPricedShipping (803 ) On: 8/13/2008 For: SouthBend Heavy 10" Lathe and Cabinet	The customer misrepresented their shipment and I cannot service it Shipper stated in his listing the shipment weight was 800#. Further investigation revealed the actual weight to be 1,500#. Shipper cancelled his payment to us AFTER being issued a prepaid bill of lading. Driver arrived at 4:45pm to pickup, to find pickup location closed. Our feedback speaks for itself as one of the best ratings on uShip.com. It is unfortunate that this shipment resulted in a cancellation by the request of Mr Timken. Response from AllThumbz: Service provider is JUST a broker, gets paid for booking carriers. has no control over what the carriers do once he books shipment, nor does he care what happens once he gets his money. He failed to contact the seller before pickup as he promised, failed to reschedule, failed to respond to my contact, then when I cancelled, sent threatening, libelous and extremely nasty emails which I saved. He is nasty, arrogant, lazy, unprofessional, and impossible to do business with. STEER CLEAR AT ALL COSTS
Rating: Positive Left by: vernsetzer (15 ) On: 7/31/2008 For: Small Burke table top mill Read Story	Thanks for the job!! exceptionally helpful - Great People!!! Response from AllThumbz: These guys are very good to deal with! Thanks again!
Rating: Cancellation Left by: JGTIV123 (5) On: 7/30/2008 For: SouthBend Heavy 10" Lathe and Cabinet	There was a change to the shipping price or terms that could not be resolved The customer was not willing to pay beforehand. My company policy does not allow me to 'front' a first time shipper Other than that the customer was very easy going and flexible on time. Response from AllThumbz: If you would like me to bid again (you sent me a request) I can, but we might as well close outside of UShip and I will only charge $380 instead of $400. I would still need you to pay upfront. Thank you for this opportunity, Joseph www.unishippers.com

Rating: Positive Left for: Dandodrive (266 ) On: 2/21/2009 For: Burke #4 Small Milling Machine	Ken was great to work with- he picked up, he communicated well, just as he was the first time, which is why I didnt hesitate to hire him again. I would recommend him to anyone, and I will use him again.
Rating: Positive Left for: Dandodrive (266 ) On: 9/4/2008 For: Lathe and Cabinet- Palletized Pickup from Business	Ken is a great guy- very hard working, very dependable. My lathe arrived in picture perfect condition and we got it on a couple dollies easily and into my backyard for disassembly into the house. I had some bad experiences with other bidders on this lot, and Ken turned things around. Great job Ken!
Rating: Cancellation Left for: FairPricedShipping (803 ) On: 8/13/2008 For: SouthBend Heavy 10" Lathe and Cabinet	After communicating directly, I am not comfortable with this Service Provider Service provider would not schedule shipment until after entire shipping amount was paid on July 7, 2008. Shipper arrived at pickup location at close of business at 4:45 pm did not call beforehand or ever advise the seller of the lathe that they were picking up. As a result, item was not picked up. I immediately contacted them, got no response until a day later, no attempt to reschedule pickup, only a complaint from Tyler that I had reversed payment. Steer clear of Tyler- bad news. Response from FairPricedShipping: Nelson Edward Timken stated in his listing the shipment weight was 800#. Further investigation revealed the actual weight to be 1,500#. Mr Timken cancelled his payment to us AFTER being issued a prepaid bill of lading. Driver arrived at 4:45pm to pickup, to find pickup location closed. Our feedback speaks for itself as one of the best ratings on uShip.com. It is unfortunate that this shipment resulted in a cancellation by the request of Mr Timken. Please review the Rest of our feedback.
Rating: Cancellation Left for: JGTIV123 (5) On: 7/30/2008 For: SouthBend Heavy 10" Lathe and Cabinet	There was a change to the shipping price or terms that could not be resolved NEVER indicated payment in advance required until date of pickup. Has NO Uship feedback, no MC numbers. Would you pay him in advance? I contacted him several times to hook him up with seller, he said NOTHING about payment in advance UNTIL eve of pickup! THEN he says you need to pay NOW. Claims this is SOP. Claims he does a lot of business. But a businessman announces his terms up front. MY advise is to steer clear. This guy doesn't smell right. Response from JGTIV123: I did not indicate that payment in advance was required because it is SOP, every other person on UShip understands this, he did not trust me so we did not do business. He sent me 1 Email with all of the contact info needed to set up the shipment, I called the consignee and consignor within 24 hours of the 'Match'. I guess eve of pickup = 1-week before scheduled pickup because I contacted him on a Tuesday the WEEK BEFORE. Look at what he says about everyone http://www.uship.com/profile/AllThum
