Questions for this shipment: 

Question: You are looking at somewhere around 1,000 one way. Much cheaper to rent a trailer. (7/1/2009)
Response: Thank you. I currently have no hitch on my mini-van. I looked into u-haul. I will do it if I need to...just don't want the hassle. So, what do you charge for transport? (the total trip is a little less than 900 miles) (7/1/2009)
Response: Will this be a one way trip? (7/3/2009)
Response: Yes. The picture was uploaded on my profile under "edistoblue" if you need to view the boats. For some reason, it did not make it on to my listing. Thanks for your interest. (7/4/2009)
Response: What is your 'drop dead' date for the arrival of the boats in NY. (7/5/2009)
Response: I plan on arriving with my kids on Thursday, July 16th. I would like to have the boats arrive by July 17th, (Friday) to enjoy them over that first weekend of our vacation. Saturday at the latest. Thanks, Edisto Blue (7/5/2009)
Response: Thanks for the ionfo. I will not be asble to accomadate you time frame. Just make sure who ever wins the bid has is a legal transporter. (7/7/2009)
Response: Thanks for your sincere communication. I am asking this of my current low-bidder as we speak. Maybe we can do business in the future. Safe travels wherever your work takes you! Edisto Blue (7/7/2009)
Question: Hello, pictures of the boats would really help a lot in determining a price.I may be able to help for a good price but i need to see them. Thanks. (7/1/2009)
Response: Thanks. The boats are at a friend's house. I'll get over there tomorrow and get some shots. Basically, it's a 14ft. hull (similar to a sunfish) and a 9 ft kayak. There would also be sails and rigging that are wrapped tightly. (7/1/2009)
Response: Hello, any pictures yet? When do you need these delivered? Thanks, MaX (7/3/2009)
Response: Yes. Pictures posted last evening. For some reason, they are on my "profile", not the shipment listed. Just look on "edistoblue" to see the pic. Let me know if you have problems viewing. Happy 4th. (7/4/2009)
Response: Hello, I can bid $600 and put them on my roof rack and have them to you before the weekend. Does that work for you? (7/7/2009)
Response: Hello Maxumpower. Yes, it does work for me. The boats are located on James Island. My children and I plan on leaving from our residence on Edisto Beach on Wednesday, July 15th, with an overnight in Beckley, WV and an arrival in western New York late Thursday afternoon (?) the 16th. When would you like to pick up the boats? Thanks, Edisto Blue (7/7/2009)
Response: Hi, are there any accessories that are going along like the sail, life jackets and other things? Thanks, MaX (7/7/2009)
Response: Dear Maxumpower, Sorry for the slow response. We were in Charleston running errands all day and just returned. There is a mast/sail (very light and slender). I will carry the wooden daggerboard and rudder/tiller with me. I can have them ready to be picked up any time. I'll just need enough notice to make the drive to James Island to meet you. Does this answer all your questions? (7/8/2009)
Response: I am leaving tomorrow early afternoon and heading to NY. How early can i pick up? I will make a bid. Thanks,MaX (7/8/2009)
Question: Are you dates set in STONE? If they are not I might be able to pick up a few days after the 14th and load these in my enclosed trailer for $800.00 Let me know if this could work for you. Thanks and enjoy the summer (7/4/2009)
Response: Hello Dura Trans! We will only be up in NY for a few weeks, and hoped to have the boats arrive soon after we get there for maximum use. I have already received a bid of $700 to bring the shipment as scheduled. If you were to consider a lower bid, I could possibly reschedule our trip to adjust more to your timing. Thanks for your consideration. (7/5/2009)
Question: Hi localplusshipping here.. I received a call that you made an inquiry, but can find nothing in my mailbox or in bid details... I have to run out for a while right now, but would like to know what question/s you may have.. I'll check back later, but if you accept my bid you will get my contact info, and you can phone me...Thanks,Pressly (7/7/2009)
Response: Thanks for your reply. When would you need to pick up the boats? Also, if you are picking up other shipments along the way, do you think you will be able to deliver to me by Friday the 17th? Edisto Blue (7/7/2009)
Response: If I pick them up 3 days prior to delivery, it gives me ample time to secure them for the trip and bid on other items I can fit along the way...So 14th at the latest, say 12th at the earliest.. I will make sure they get there when you need them... Thanks... (7/7/2009)
