Question: Hello shipper we can offer to transport your boat door to door for you direct freight for $1080.00 We are a boat shipper and the equipment we use to ship boats is only used to ship boats. All boats we ship are covered by insurance and we have not had a claim in over 300 successful shipments. We only use custom built cradles to carry the boats we ship. This puts the weight of the boat along the entire hull as opposed to just a few jack points of contact. We usually ship large yachts and high value boats but also offer small boat shipments. (5/15/2008)
Response: Hello, the boat is pretty light and empty at the rear because it does noyt contain the jetski that would normally be a part of the package. Your quote is actually more than I'm paying for the boat so at this time I will pass on your offer, thanks. (5/15/2008)
Response: I'm sorry i missed the fact it is empty. I will re-quote this for $590 if it can be towed on its own trailer. (5/15/2008)
Response: My max is $400.00 (5/15/2008)
Response: I am sorry we cant be of help. All I can offer is possibly renting an SUV and towing it your self. I know that enterprise rent a car has nissan titans for rent and they usually have a hitch on the back. (5/15/2008)
Response: Thank you for your response. (5/15/2008)
Response: Please let us know if there is anything we can help with. And your welcome (5/15/2008)
Response: Thanks for your response (5/18/2008)
Question: Ok, so your budget is $400. When do you need the shipment to you? Are you flexible? I have a boat i'm taking to Colorado soon and I can pick it up on the way back? Let me know. Thanks (5/15/2008)
Response: What does your schedule look like? (5/15/2008)
Response: We should be picking up the other boat around the middle to the end of next week. (5/15/2008)
Response: So would it be a delivered to me before/by end of the month? I would need to make sure that the person you are picking up from is aware in advance of your arrival. The boat/trailer as far as I know are in a towable condition. (5/15/2008)
Question: Hello shipper, I take into consideration that fuel is OVER 4 dollars a gallon, thats why I plan my routes carefully, and NEVER take one item at a time unless it pays enough to do soo. I will gladly transport your shuttle-craft to you for 400. I leave Monday morning from Springfield Missouri area headed to Florida, I can easily drop this off on the way. Please let me know if you would like a bid, after checking my feedback. Thanks, Ron Hall username Bad_Attitude (5/16/2008)
Response: Ok, so what day would you believe that you could make delivery? If we decide to go forward with this I would provide you the sellers name, address and contact info so the both of you can finalize arrangements for pickup. As far as the delivery goes I'm available at anytime. The boat is located at The Lighthouse Marina in Laurie, MO 65038 (5/16/2008)
Response: Well like I said, I leave Monday to go to Florida. I can pick it up tommorow, Sunday, or early Monday morning. (5/17/2008)
Response: Please tell me your bid amount again. I have no record of it. (5/18/2008)
Response: Hello shiper, I haven't placed a formal bid yet but if I can find something else to go along with this, I will transport your shuttle for 400. If you can give me until Mon nite, early Tues morning I'm sure I can find another shipment in the same location. Thank you, Ron (5/18/2008)
Response: OK, let me know but please be advised that I am still accepting bids. I do see that I have a message from yiou stating that you were headed this was Monday morning headed for Flordia; is that still not the case? (5/18/2008)
Response: Actually no, I am not heading to Fl now. My customer and I have agreed that the wildfires could bring too much of a delay in his other 4 shipments I have to take to the Canadian border in Montana. However one of the other vehicles I have to pick-up for him is in Va and I would still put this inside my brand new enclosed trailer I picked up yesterday. But my leave date is now going to be Tuesday morning instead of Monday. I will keep an eye on this, and I understand you are still accepting other bids. Thyanks, Ron (5/18/2008)
Response: Ok, check back with me if you see something that will work out for us as soon as you can.
(5/18/2008)
Response: Tell ya what, I'm placing a bid now, I want your business and I will deliver the boat by Thursday for sure. This will really fit into my route perfectly. I have a porshe to pick up in Ky and a Volks Bug in Va. I will contact you tommorow if you accept my offer. My wife is crying the blues cause I'm working on Sunday. LOL Gotta pay the bills dude. Thanks look forward to doing business with you soon, Ron Hall (5/18/2008)
Response: Look [content removed profanity], I'm sorry that your truck was stolen (probably did something to deserve it) but you did not contact me anytime after 18 May, (before your truck left you) and I have all my records verifing such and you did not conatct me anytime afterwards. I left numorus e-mails and telephone calls to you (or did your entire brain get stolen too) and you never contacted me about my shipment. Had you done so I surely would have understood. Its not my job to look at your profile every day and see if your life style has changed. its your job to followup with your customers and square things away; even the seller never heard from you again about the pickup. Take my advise, a customer service career is not one you are good at. (6/3/2008)

Response: Hello Shipper, I just found your listing yesterday, so you must be talking about somebody else. Jay (5/18/2008)
Response: I'm sorry, I can not remember what I responded with. I do beleived that I request a lower bid but maybe that wasnt it. The lowest bid I have so far is $400.00 (5/18/2008)
Response: I can meet the 400. bid if this ready to go this week. Thanks, Jay (5/18/2008)
Response: Sorry, but due to your feedbacks I would prefer not to select you as the carrier. (5/18/2008)
Response: SIR, I HAD TO CANCEL SOME OF MY LAST SHIPMENTS DUE TO A FAMILY EMERGENCY AND HAD A WHINNER WHO COMPLAINED ABOUT DUST ON HIS BIKE. ALSO I NOTICE THAT YOU HAVE ZERO FEEDBACK. GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SHIPMENT. JAY (5/18/2008)
Response: I do not recongnize who you are and not sure just what you are trying to convey in your message. I'm sorry that you had a family emergency and another shipper complained but what does that mean to me? If you do not want to place a shipping bid them please reframe from telling me your problems, thanks. (5/24/2008)
