Question: Hello - would the shipper (or originating location) be willing to place & secure item to suitable pallet / skid so as to be acceptable for common carrier service? ... THX (4/24/2008)
Response: I'm checking I'll let you know as soon as I find out. Thanks, Dan (4/24/2008)
Response: Ok - & will be awaiting your answer ... THX (4/24/2008)
Response: No to secure pallet, but the unit can be wheeled onto or placed on truck or trailer for shipping. (4/24/2008)
Response: Understand & your prompt reply is appreciated ... However, will have to pass for common carrier type service as this item would not be accepted as a "roller" ... THX (4/24/2008)
Response: I'm not sure what you mean by a "roller". Should I list this under a different category? (4/24/2008)
Response: no and not necessarily so .. just add a note in the additional information field to your listing: item is shipped as a "roller"; meaning "as is where is" on it's own wheels .. not skidded or otherwise prepped in anyway shape or form ... this way TSP's (transportation service providers) know more correctly how to premise their service bid ... thanks for replying (4/24/2008)
Question: I could take it inside my moving truck if there is help loading it. I have now and eletrical car weighting 800 lbs bound for Toronto on it. My bid wil lbe $990. (4/26/2008)
Response: What is your time frame for picking this up? I'm sure someone could help you load this. Bid still a little high since I'm not in a hurry for delivery at this point. (4/26/2008)
Response: I am in WA, leaving on Monday/tuesday forthe east coast. I have to unload in Toronto and PA. I must be in TX on May 16th empty so it wil lbeloaded and delivered before that. (4/26/2008)
Response: What's the latest you can be in Phoenix, before heading out to TX (4/26/2008)
Response: The 14th. I need t obe srue to be early and ready to load the family on the 16th. (4/26/2008)
Response: I'm guessing that you would leave NY about the 12th or 13th to be here on 16th, is that about right? (4/26/2008)
Response: NO. I will leave earlier. A truck makes on average 50 miles an hour and I can only drive 11 hours of 500 miles a day. (4/26/2008)
Response: Thanks, it may be a week before I give you an answer. If your situation changes in the mean time that's not a problem. Your bid is still a little high but if it's no better than others I'm sure we can work something out. Other than waiting for more bids I'm still negotiating some business related to the arrival of shipment. (4/26/2008)
Response: Have you checked he price of diesel fuel lately? Also your vehicle can not have things on top of it so it will take the whole 7.5 ft clearance from thegorund up. When you are rady let me know and I will place a bid if I have space. (4/26/2008)
Response: Yeah I know that's been my biggest worry. I was hoping I'd get lucky and get a bid from someone that's already coming out this way from that area with some spare room. I'll get back to you by Sat, if you don't hear from me by then feel free to email me back. (4/27/2008)
Response: With the price of fuel and since I am on the business I can only give you my best rate that can go up if fuel goes up unless there is an accepted bid. Let me know when you are ready. (4/27/2008)

Question: Hi.I can pick this bike for you tomorrow or Saturday and deliver it in 5 days.I'm heading back to Los Angeles.Just let me know ASAP.
Thanks.Vlad. (5/15/2008)
Response: Hi Vlad, I appreciate your bid but I preferred someone with just a little more feedback. Having said that, what type of vehicle/trailer are you using to transport? Can you secure and protect this bike (it's not cheap). Do you have insurance? I see you do mostly local delivers, what brings you all the way out here? (5/16/2008)
Response: Yes,you are right,mostly we doing local deliveries,but once in week 53' trailer going to CA and back.We have cargo insurance as well.We can send you Motor Carrier and insurance certificates.Don't worry about your bike,it'll be protected.Thanks Vlad. (5/16/2008)
Response: Thanks for the info. I'm still alittle leary of low number of feedbacks, nothing personal, I'm just paranoid because of the distance. If I hire you, when do I pay you, when can you pick up bike, and what is the best price you can give me? Also, there will be a small to medium size box with accessories that goes with this. It shouldn't take up anymore room since you may be able to set it on bike seat. I'd leave that up to the dicretion of shipper. I have to get back to work I will reply in about 90 minutes from now if I hear from you. Feel free to submit another bid with your best price. Thanks again, Dan (5/16/2008)
Response: Hi.I know what you mean,because it's a long distance,but you will meet the driver and talk to him about all the details.About payments-you can give the payment to the driver at pick up location.The driver with truck is in NJ right now,he can pick it up today or tomorrow.
No problem the addition box.Thanks.Vlad. (5/16/2008)
Response: I'm not at the pick up location, I'm at the drop off. If you have PayPal or take credit cards I can pay you that way otherwise I will have to pay you when you drop it off. Let me know and I will accept your bid if nobody snags the Book It Now first. (5/16/2008)
Response: It's okay,you can pay me at drop-off location.You can accept my bid right now and give me a call.I need to pick up your bike today or tomorrow,because I can't wait till Monday.Thanks.Vlad. (5/16/2008)
