Questions for this shipment: 

Question: I can deliver this next week for you, what is target price? (5/5/2008)
Response: The target price is $700 to $800. The dates are flexible to be included as a side stop (less than trailer load). I am having trouble arranging to get a crate built for the equipment. Do you have any ideas? I would like to ship soon but do not have a shipping container for the equipment. The direct answer is it will not be ready until I have a crate made. (5/6/2008)
Response: I am going to Texas at end of month now, would love to ship this for you. (5/6/2008)
Response: I will keep working on the crate issue. It has been harder to deal with from El Paso that I thought. Thanks (5/6/2008)
Response: no problem sir (5/6/2008)
Response: I think we are close to shipping. I have a moving company that will pickup and pack the equipment. You can get it from their warehouse and they will load it. The weight and crate will be larger than expected. 7'X7'X3' crate and up to 1850 lbs. Please let me know the adjusted price. Thanks, Galen (5/27/2008)
Question: I can build a crate or the shipment of this product if you are still in need. We will be going to MI soon and this can be added to the shipment we have coming back down. I will need the exact dimensions as this will be going into the bed of a pick up truck but i can build the crate and handle the shipment if you are still interested. (5/14/2008)
Response: We may be able to ship soon. We found a moving company that will pick up and pack equipment at their warehouse. They have a different size and weight estimate than I do because I have never seen the equipment. They will pack it all in a 7'X7'X3' crate and estimate the weight to be 1,850lbs. Please let me know the adjusted rate. Thanks, Galen (5/27/2008)
