Response: Dave: Can you deliver to Cleveland by Wednesday of next week (8/29) ?? Recipient WILL NOT BE available after close of business on Wednesday... If so, please place a bid! Thank you! (8/21/2007)

Response: Hi! Thanks for your reply. What is the depth of each piece? Also, while I think we should be able to deliver the paintings on Wednesday I consider delivering them safely (as well as being safe myself) the prime consideration. Therefore I can't promise an exact time due to weather and traffic conditions and road gremlims :) Learned that lesson again my last trip after being in Houston to welcome Tropical Storm Erin and then having me following me home! If this is a business, isn't there someone available that could sign for the paintings if we were unavoidably delayed? When will the customer be available again after Wednesday (just in case)? Again we don't expect to have a problem but want the painting to arrive safely. Please let me know right away while I still have an opening for you in my schedule. Thanks! Dave (8/21/2007)

Response: Each canvas is 2 inches deep, but 4 to 5 inches with bubble-wrap. One painting is 4.5'x 6.5' (including bubble wrap) and the other is 4' x 5.5' (including bubble wrap). Can your vehicle accommodate this? Also, if our client were to want additional paintings, could you accommodate those as well in your vehicle? It sounds as if your van will be otherwise empty on your way back to Ohio... There will be no one at the destination on Thursday; the gallery is closed for 4 days starting on 8/30. Also, these paintings might not be something you'd want to keep in the van over the long weekend - the retail value is over $10,000. Acts of God and unforeseen circumstances notwithstanding, can you promise delivery by Wednesday, 5 pm??? (8/21/2007)
