Question: Hi-When will you be ready to move,and will there be help on both ends?Thanks,Whitey (9/21/2009)
Response: had decent offers already, for the whole enchilada the best was 795 + another 500 if i wanted to ship my car too. can be some help on my end, but far less on the end of the trip. (9/25/2009)
Question: Ok,will keep you in mind upon my return to the NW.Thanks,Whitey (9/25/2009)
Response: the move is almost certainly on, it's just a "when" question now. do you move cars too?i have an estimate for 795 right now for the goods,and another 500 for my car. (9/25/2009)
Question: Can you please tell us more about what you thinking in term of house and car? (10/14/2009)
Response: my car is a 1989 toyota corolla sedan. i also have a 1989 toyota truck which i will likely drive south. most of my stuff has been palletized and is ready to go via a freight truck, unless you want to bid on the lot. no real furniture left. a queen sized bed, a dresser, a small roll top desk, a small computer desk, several bicycles, and about 30 boxes of assorted sizes up to about 27 gallon totes. can have more on pallets if it'd make it easier. (10/14/2009)
Question: best deal - $1500.00 for a 28 foot trailer, exclusive use, goods and car can fit in - order it when you want. Just need a 3 day notice. PC (10/14/2009)
Response: how much weight does this constitute? will your TOTAL price include all fees, fuel, and line haul charges? (10/16/2009)
Response: price includes everything - door to door - 20,000# maximum - self load and unload. You put the car in first,secure it, then the household goods. Its a pretty sweet deal. PC (10/17/2009)
Response: OK, so this includes fuel, the line haul, any taxes,insurance, etc.?
bigger questions are, how do I go asbout loading and unloading the car? does your truck have a ramp?
what is my timetable like?
how many days would I have at either end of the trip to load, and off-load?
I'm sure I would secure this trailer with my own lock.
I'm sure I'll have more as the time gets closer. (10/17/2009)
Response: Price includes everything door to door. You have 3 days to load, 3 days to offload. That's the neat thing about this program - you can take your time, and load as much as space allows. Normally, we load the car FIRST and secure it properly. We will help you do this, and give you 4 hours of assistance in getting the load started properly. You lock, you unlock at destination. I work the port of Tacoma at least twice a week, so I'm in your area. PC (10/18/2009)
Response: OK, still wondering how the car will get on and then off the trailer. Ramps? and then how does any or all of the freight get on there? does the trailer have a lift gat? what is the "usual" amount of time on the roads? (10/19/2009)
Response: we use a rollback to get the car on (towing company flatbed). We have ramps for loading. Transit time is 5 days. We pull these 28 foot pup trailers double down I-5. You've probably seen them. PC (10/19/2009)
Response: wen can you ave your trailer here? I need to make arrangements at work to have the time available. (11/1/2009)
Response: I just need a 2 day notice - are you looking at this week? PC (11/3/2009)
Response: i am looking at next week. unless you plan on being here this week. friday is my day off. would work the best. (11/3/2009)
Response: next week would be better for me. I will submit bid of [content removed - To avoid confusion on the part of the customer, TSP’s may not mention “uShip fees/commission”, or similar language in their Q&A and bids must be all inclusive. -uShip]. As soon as you accept, I'll be in touch with you and arrange timing. PC (11/3/2009)
Question: Do you still need a mover? (10/14/2009)
Response: yes, I still need a moverr (10/16/2009)
Response: HI, my bid is about to expire, I move your items with a Sunday pickup and mid week delivery? Are you still interested? I like to schedule moves about 2 weeks ahead, but I kept my bid valid to be able to help you get the deposit money together, but what I see in your communications I'm not sure if you are still planning to hire us. Please let me know. Thanks. (11/6/2009)
Response: OK, i am ready to accept your offer. I have the deposit money now. mom is willing to put the remainder on a credit card. didn't see the option of "accept the bid" on the page. (11/6/2009)
Question: I mite be doing one up there next week an can do it for $900 (10/20/2009)
Response: what amount of weight/or cubic feet of space are looing at?
what is included for this cost?
fuel surcharges? insurance? loading and unloading? (10/20/2009)
Response: I wont have anything after I unload up there an there are no other fines (10/20/2009)
Response: you still available for this load? (11/1/2009)
Response: Yes sir Were on are way up right now an can do it for sure an give ya a good deal (11/1/2009)
Question: I go by volume. I can't bid unless I know what you have. The type of appliances and if there is any furniture that needs protection.
I also need to know if you will need help loading/unloading.
I read that you have a car. I could bring it if it fits a Penske 4 wheel trailer for $ 500. Will you be ready in 5 days? (11/1/2009)
Response: I can likely be ready for friday. I am off that day. not talking too many appliances on this trip, if any. no real furniture either. would it make things easier if i had things palletized? almost all of my belongings are in boxes or totes, large dish pack boxes being the largest. as for the car, i can even park that at a friend's house and retrieve it at a later time. how many cubic feet is your trailer space? (11/1/2009)
Response: I am in Luisisana and coming to WA thru Colorado, I-84. Then after unloading in Seattle turning around. I have half a 26ft truck available for $1100 if you help wil loading unloading. If you only need 1/4 I will do it for $1,000 with loading ( I will wrap the furniture regardless) I just do not want surprises. My price for now when when I see what you have so you need t ogive me the volume. This truck is 7.3 " wide and 7.3" tall by 26' but I have 13ft taken. (11/1/2009)
Response: no surprises here. donated a huge chunk of my furniture to the goodwill. looking at a storage facility also here, since I may have to wait for a transfer at my work. just want to get my stuff to my mom's place. can help loading. like i said a lot (most) of my stuff is in boxes or totes. various weights, but similar sizes. many of them are 18 to 27 gallon totes. (11/1/2009)
Response: Thanks for your response. I need to know what have you decided. Do I bid for 1/2 truck even if you may not use it all? or 1/4? I can not bid for 1/4 and then find that you have more and I can not fit someowne elses. There is a difference between 18 or 27 totes and the number of appliances and type. A fridge will take more space than a dishwasher.
(11/1/2009)
Response: I am reasonably sure I would not need more than 1/2 the truck. let's have you bid on this amount of space then. what i have in the way of appliances are a 5cf freezer and a 15 cf refrigerator and a small washer and dryer. no real furniture. all gone to the goodwill. (11/2/2009)
Response: Do you have any questions about my bid? (11/3/2009)
Response: the option of asking was not possible on the notice from u-ship, so I wasn't able to ask any. how many cubic feet, pounds, portion of a truck or trailer are we speaking about? what was the amount of your bid once again?
(11/3/2009)
Response: I have a moving truck with a box with inside dimensions of 7.3 ft wide, 7.3 ft tall and 26ft long. I have the first 12ft of length taken and you can have the rest for $1000. So it is over ½ a truck and I pack tight. I wrap your furniture, appliances and bikes with blankets and secure. You bring items in and off the truck. I can bring your car at the same time for $500. There are no extra charges. My bid is the one below for $1002. I could load you Friday afternoon. (11/4/2009)
Question: were here an can load you today for $800 but you have to be ready to go an book it before We leave (11/4/2009)
Response: when will you be in WA until ?
(11/4/2009)
Response: We were there for a few days We couldnt wait no longer Sorry (11/5/2009)
Response: if i accept your bid, when is the earliest you could be back in WA? (11/5/2009)
Response: I wouldn't be able to say but I'm working on one that mite be in dec (11/5/2009)
Response: i will let you know if my household is still needing moved then. will keep you posted. (11/6/2009)
